L.D. 50 is one of the best American metal albums ever released, and is one of those rare CDs that doesn't rely on nostalgia to tear face. I'll still be rocking it in another five years as if it was the first time all over again.
"Prod" is an amazing song, and I don't find the transitions in "Nothing to Gein" to be inappropriate. The song perfectly captures Gein's madness with its evil carnival music pre-chorus and bizarre arrangements. It couldn't be any better suited for the lyrical theme.

"easily the most popularized of the genre, second to only Slipknot)
More popular than Korn, Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park? I don't know about that
they felt they were “textbook ****ing metal”
I'm not quite sure if you just appropriated this for your own purposes, but the line is "textbook
fucking mental"
Was a typo, but I assume it works with the review.
And by popularized, I was referring to the way the band transitioned from this unto popular metal. Pretty on level with Slipknot. They did an almost complete 180.
Pretty good review, although I disagree that the guitarist is useless.
I don't mean he's useless, he does the job, but is leagues behind the rest of the band. Much like the pre-Obsolete Fear Factory albums, some of the band members just don't perform up with the rest of the band.

Got to remember, one member has to reserve themselves or the music would just end up convoluted to hell. While I don't think Greg is very good, he holds back and makes the sound even fatter.

Very well put, and to some extent I agree. But there's been many huge bands that didn't have any members to hold back. While this is not death metal, and would be a bit conflicting, I still think there's a little movement for Greg to get creative. Severed shows this very well - Gregg can extend his abilities a little bit to make the songs even better.
If you listen to their second release, the first track (Silenced) fucking slays because of that extra mile he took.

I just think he is one of the main problems with the downfall in quality with this band; the more leeway he got over the years, the more generic and dull they sounded. This is my favourite release from them because he's pretty much got bass duties and is, what I think anyway, focused on providing the meat to the rhythm section.
Still, I know what you're saying with TEOAT, he does have some tasty parts.

Yeah, the more allowance he had with the band did ruin them. But I don't blame him completely. Chad had a lot to do with the downfall of the band as well. His lyrics past TEOATTC are pretty terrifyingly awful. Plus, he ruined the song 'Choices' off of Lost and Found. That song is probably the best progressive song they've ever done, but his lyrics and the "eine meine miney mo" part ruins it.

That's not what popularized means. The sentence, as it is, basically states that, second only to Slipknot, Mudvayne were the most popular act in this genre/were the act that popularized the genre

Mudvayne were pretty underground from the Nu-metal scene, no?

Yes they are, I was (and still am to a degree) pretty big on nu-metal and hadn't heard this until last year sometime I think.

It's the little known nu metal bands that are great. I've always found One minute Silence very underrated.

These guys never reached the level of the bands listed above but they were still huge. Hell, you can see some of their posters in movies with teens from the early 2000's

I always thought it was "bobs away", as in the limbless man bobbing away in the water. I don't know, makes sense to me

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're correct. Bombs away doesn't really fit in with the rest of the lyrics anyway.

Unfortunately it is "bombs away" haha Still, Chad was at his peak in terms both vocally and lyrically in this.
