"... Yes, we are to ape with a symbiotic relationship to a mushroom, and indeed has Given us self reflection, language, religion and all the spectrum of effects did flow from These Things and one can only wonder how thesis hallucinogens might Effect our future evolution as well ... " Wow, this album is truly unique in its entirety, and I mean that as well, because it can not be compared with or Slipknot Soulfly, although I also like to listen to this. Mudvayne do it anyway, to create a very special atmosphere, that I have heard so still nowhere. As a single example me there fell Mushroomhead's 'XX', where that is an exclusive horror stick gloomy, yet quirky and psychological abysmal atmosphere is generated by the first five songs (plus "chancre sore" and "Born Of Desire"). The motif of 'LD 50' is similar, but the result is of course a willed otherwise. The numerous spacers (four) Mudvayne create an ambiance more frightening vision of the future with all the horrors of human progress and its influence on our inner self. Unlike Fear Factory's linguistic image of the machine the guys around Greg Tribbett conjure up the decadent impact biological / pharmaceutical and genetic engineering achievements. The opener "Dig" is this same pioneering: A Song charged anger and explosive bombast, the stunned by all the ideas of influence from anyone and take control of your own life demands again. With "Internal Primates Forever" and "Under My Skin" wait songs of similar caliber, while the core of the album is characterized more by such interactive songs such as "-1", "Cradle", "Severed" or "Prod", while are no less hard, not stupid come along with high / low volume change, but know how to perfectly combine different moods in a single individual music style. This is what distinguishes the album also fundamentally and probably the guarantor of the (rightly) strong impact Mudvaynes in the scene to be. Other songs are also convincing through moderate stages thoughtful melodies with oppressive mood, such as in the second half of "Everything and Nothing" and "Pharmaecopia". In addition, with "Death Blooms" and "Nothing To Gein" two very ballad sounding pieces that have the hardness removed far, despite all the action just a piece. Anspieltipps I want to actually name any, should the album at least once have listened attentively to the piece in order to understand the meaning and register the musical sophistication. Because when oeuvre get 'LD 50' completely under the skin: take it on, or remain internal primates forever! "Dark for fear of failure at inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins Unveiling rancid petals flowering forth foul nectar The Space Between a blink and a tear ... death blooms.
