With an engaging and deeply passionate vocal performance from singer Chad Gray, the Vayne finally seems to be headed in a stronger musical direction than ever. I was impressed with the heavy groove on the opening track &#8220;Beautiful and Strange&#8221;. Ryan Martinie&#8217;s bass sounds utterly wicked tied to the skilled drumming from Matthew McDonough. The other track that stood out for me is &#8220;1000 Mile Journey&#8221;, showcasing the bad ass riff work from Greg Tribbett. All the songs on the album were recorded at the same sessions for 2008&#8217;s &#8216;The New Game.&#8217;, which is weird because I actually did not like that one at all. I feel that this release is the best songwriting the group has achieved since their second album, &#8216;The End Of All Things to Come&#8217;.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i66.photobucket.com\/albums\/h259\/rsid999\/fire019.gif\" alt=\"e\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i3.photobucket.com\/albums\/y55\/RSCODY\/ROCKHEROFINAL1-1-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<big><strong><br \/>\nROCKET REVIEW:<\/strong><\/big><big>[starreview tpl=16]<br \/>\n<strong>MUDVAYNE &#8211; \u201cMudvayne\u201d<\/strong> (CD)<small><strong><br \/>\n<em>(Epic Records\/2009)<\/em><\/strong><\/small><\/big><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<big><small> 1. &#8220;Beautiful and Strange&#8221; \u2013 5:03<br \/>\n2. &#8220;1000 Mile Journey&#8221; \u2013 5:56<br \/>\n3. &#8220;Scream With Me&#8221; \u2013 2:52<br \/>\n4. &#8220;Closer&#8221; \u2013 3:21<br \/>\n5. &#8220;Heard It All Before&#8221; \u2013 6:05<br \/>\n6. &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Wait&#8221; \u2013 3:03<br \/>\n7. &#8220;Beyond the Pale&#8221; \u2013 4:47<br \/>\n8. &#8220;All Talk&#8221; \u2013 2:52<br \/>\n9. &#8220;Out to Pasture&#8221; \u2013 5:47<br \/>\n10. &#8220;Burn the Bridge&#8221; \u2013 3:36<br \/>\n11. &#8220;Dead Inside&#8221; \u2013 4:55<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mudvayne.com\/\">http:\/\/www.mudvayne.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<\/small><\/big><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released at the end of 2009, MUDVAYNE&#8217;s fifth studio album (Epic Records) is a self-titled&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-metal-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11503\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
