During an interview with Revolver, Mudvayne’s Chad Gray discussed the issue he had with the band’s debut album “L.D. 50.” The frontman says he is “not a big fan of the [record’s] mix.”
Gray said the following:
“Everybody loves L.D. 50. The reason why is because L.D. 50 is the first fucking thing that they ever heard by Mudvayne. But me, personally, I’m not a huge fan of L.D. 50 because I’m not a big fan of the mix. I think the mix is very bass-heavy.
To me, it doesn’t feel like a band mix. We’re a metal band, it needs to be guitar-centric. It should be very guitar-forward, and it wasn’t.
I mean, I love L.D. 50. It’s a great album and it was a fucking hard album to write. Greg [Tribbett, guitarist] and I were in the studio the last three days, in there every night, all night, finishing the last three songs.
So, everybody left and went to mix, and me and him stayed and we literally walked out of the studio at 10:30 a.m. after being up all night the last night, [and] we were supposed to be out of the studio at noon.”
Despite this, Gray still crowned “L.D. 50” as the band’s top album. Here’s his full ranking:
05. “Mudvayne”
04. “The End Of All Things To Come”
03. “Lost And Found”
02. “The New Game”
01. “L.D. 50”
