Mudvayne is a Peoria, Illinois, USA based alternative metal quartet started in 1996 which is strongly influnced by funk stylings and jazz song structures. They have become relatively well known for their previous incarnations which involved elaborate stage makeup and pseudonyms. The band often showcases Ryan Martinie's jazzy bass playing.

One of my top favourites, check them out if you can handle the 'screaming'.

Better than most popular (at the time) nu-metal was. But then who isn't?

As long as it wasn't doing whiny rapping I still think it'd have been better

Are we talking about the same Mudvayne?  The band I'm familliar with (and yes I have heard their songs) is pure mediocre nu-metal.

Mediocre.. totally disagree, how can they be an average band when absolutely no other band sounds like them?.. Not to mention their ridiculously over-talented bassist... but there’s no point arguing about music, everyone has an acquired taste. I would have preferred to find someone who was actually interested in them, not shrugging them off as 'mediocre nu-metal'.

Sorry but thats what they strike me as also (mediocre nu-metal that is), i listened to two albums (have a friend who is a huge fan of them, he also loves linkin park and AFI ). I also saw them live on the Conan O'Brian show a while back. Maybe im just missing something, but to be positive they are better than all the other bands my buddy listens to!

Mudvayne are not nu-metal ... not every band which uses downtuned guitars is nu-metal. But they're also not exactly brilliant. I'd say they're an alternative metal band with some nice ideas.

I liked the string quartet tribute to Mudvayne.

A friend got me two Mudvayne albums (L.D. 50 and The End Of All Things To Come). I wasn't too thrilled at first (I only heard the songs they played on the radio), but some of their music was actually quite interesting.

Hmm havn't heard the string tribute, though i like those adaptations i have the A Perfect Circle one though

L.D. 50 is their best album I have to say just by a small margin over the other albums

Meh. I went for a brief nu-metal phase (glad I didn't spend too long there( and never really liked Mudvayne.

They're Alternative Rock ... I like their first album. But Temple of the Dog is better.
