Mudvayne – The New Game
“On this eclectic 11-song set, Mudvayne stretches into a variety of previously unexplored musical settings to accompany Chad Gray’s unapologetically angsty lyrics. “Fish Out of Water” opens things with a staccato gallop before careening through a series of prog-rock-styled dynamic shifts. A ringing mixture of acoustic and electric guitars bring fresh textures to “Do What You Do,” the album’s first single; “Scarlet Letters”; and “Never Enough,” while the politically toned “Have It Your Way” is a forthright and furious modern rock jam tailored for the Vans Warped tour. Some of the fierce headbanging that is Mudvayne’s stock in trade can still be found in “The Hate in Me,” “We the People” and “Dull Boy,” but the bulk of the record finds the group playing its “New Game” with hard-hitting exuberance. —Gary Graffâ€
