Along with Atheist, Mudvayne is the gold standard when it comes to metal that just happens to be technical with crazy musicianship but is some of the catchiest and most memorable stuff I've ever heard. I love L.D. 50 a whole lot too, but this was the first I heard of Mudvayne and fell in love instantly. The whole album is instantly memorable, but songs like Silenced, Trapped in the Wake of a Dream, (Per)Version of a Truth, Skrying, The Shadow of a Man, and the title track are particular favorites that show a perfect combination of the melodies, hooks, screams, riffs, and rhythmic mastery that define the band.

Chad Gray's vocals are at their best, hitting that perfect balance of screaming, nasally yet melodic vocals, and great subtle touches like the Damage Inc-esque whispers of Silenced. However, Mudvayne's rhythm section is the star of the show, especially bassist Ryan Martinie's unique sound. One of the best metal albums of the 2000's.
