Mudvayne черпали дополнительное вдохновение у таких исполнителей, как Obituary, но сами заявляют, что не испытывают влияния других метал-групп. В процессе написания песен участники группы объединяли риффы с текстами, основываясь на "символике чисел", как выразился Мэтью МакДонау. В альбом также вошли искаженные аудиофрагменты с голосом американского философа и психонавта Теренса МакКенны, скончавшегося незадолго до завершения записи альбома. Музыкальный стиль L. D. 50 в основном описывается как хэви-метал или один из его поджанров. В The Rough Guide to Heavy Metal звучание альбома названо арт-металом.

L. D. 50 получил смешанные и положительные отзывы критиков. Бен Ратлифф из Rolling Stone оценил альбом в три звезды из пяти. NME опубликовал негативный отзыв, назвав альбом "нечестивым варевом, детка, музыкальной эболой" и отметив "чрезмерное количество вокальных партий в стиле Rush середины 70-х, с претенциозным пением в духе панк-метала. Вспомните Yes. Вспомните 'Stonehenge' от Spinal Tap. Вспомните прог-рок, детка!". Рецензия Ника Терри для Terrorizer, не содержавшая оценки, состояла лишь из следующего: "Нет. Ни в коем случае. НЕТ. Вернитесь, Coal Chamber, всё прощено". В 2020 году журнал Metal Hammer назвал этот альбом одним из 20 лучших метал-альбомов 2000 года.
