Mudvayne hurt people

2025-08-28 by Simon K. STAFF | 78 Comments
It has been sixteen long years since Mudvayne have released any new music. The band went on hiatus in 2010, eventually reforming in 2021. Since then, the band have toured extensively but haven't released any new music, despite fervent outcry from their fans. Finally, the band have dropped a new song titled "Hurt People Hurt People", hinting at more new music coming in the near future.

You can listen to the new single below:

Simplisitic but pretty fun. Better than most material they've done since L.D. 50! Production is definitely a highlight

As a single, not bad. As a comeback single? Not so much. Hey, glad they're back. I'm not gonna complain.

Not a big fan of the chorus, but overall a solid song! Definitely the closest thing to LD50 that they've probably ever done. Hope theres a new album on the way

It's a bit repetitive and I wish Ryan was a little more present in the mix, but Chad sounds awesome. Definitely excited for more.

The thing is, the lack of Ryan’s presence can be felt as far back as lost and found. It a lot of the reason why I think their quality waned album to album. I was kinda hoping they were gonna go full LD50 if they decided to write new music — lyrics and all — but it seems like they’re carrying on from where they left off.

Not complaining though; while it is agonisingly simplistic lyrically, the production is really nice, chad sounds great, and the music sounds slightly more focused and heavy.

Feels more like a track to showcase chad than anything else. Here’s hoping we get more instrumental-focused songs in the album

hope we get some more adventurous songwriting like the LD 50 days, but otherwise this was better than I expected. especially Chad, he sounds a lot like his old self again

I doubt we’ll get anything close to LD 50, that would’ve happened with past records. They have the fire again but I’m sure it’s gonna align to at least Lost and Found

"I doubt we’ll get anything close to LD 50, that would’ve happened with past records. They have the fire again but I’m sure it’s gonna align to at least Lost and Found"

yeah I don't expect it but I have a tiny bit of hope since it seems like they're all about reliving that era right now. they brought back the makeup and their recent live sets lean pretty heavily into it, plus they're doing a full-on tour for its anniversary next year.

Looking forward to new music, but this one didn't do it for me at all. The lyrics are super "Hellyeah" vibe and I hope they largely leave that sound behind.

That's a pretty sick new song!

I recently listened to Mudvayne's classic "Determined" and man that song goes so hard. Now I gotta check their entire discography.

The title is laughably awful and tone deaf. Sounds like a b-side they dusted off, bland, and reworked... moving on.

Chorus is dumb. Song is pretty lifeless honestly, feels like two or three riff ideas just crammed together and called a song.

I hope they bring back some of the prog elements. And I certainly hope we don't get cheesy shit like World So Cold or Happy? I don't wanna hear buttrock Mudvayne

new track is objectively better than hurt people hurt people in terms of sound and mix and bass prominence and catchiness and remotely sounding like a mudvayne song of any previous era instead of a bogstandard knuckledragging d tier nu metal band filler track and you must be smoking absolute pure distilled crystal fucking weed laced with fiberglass to think otherwise

It’s grown on me a little, but I still don’t love it. Especially the cringe lyrics. As someone mentioned, it does slightly have the More Human than Human sound/formula.

They played Sticks and Stones when I saw them live, and of course it sounded better live. Still not great though, and also cringe lyrics.

Really hope the new album is at least Lost and Found caliber. I’d be happy with it, and pleasantly (unexpectedly) surprised.
