Album Reviews
Same old game is more like it. Over four albums, these new-metal rockers have remained on message, churning out poor-me songs that build from a whine to a godforsaken yowl. Their latest begins promisingly with "Fish Out of Water," which opens with a stuttering guitar and funky double-time falsetto vocals by frontman Chad Gray. But then the song hits the chorus and devolves, as Gray bellows nonsense like, "Who do you wanna be?/The summit of integrity/Or the bottom, the filth/The dichotomy?" Mudvayne write some decent guitar hooks (check the title track), but their imagination is parched, with most songs hewing to one formula: riff, whimper, shriek, repeat.
