Mutant is the fifth album by American hip hop duo Twiztid. Released on July 26, 2005, it is the second half of the Man's Myth/Mutant double album, released one month after its companion album, Man's Myth. On November 4, 2015, Twiztid announced they were remixing and remastering Mutant for a 2016 re-release.
Music and lyrics
While Man's Myth featured a hip-hop-oriented sound, Mutant featured a hard rock sound.[1] According to Jamie Spaniolo, "I've always wanted to do a Rock album and to date that was the closest thing to it we have ever done, so it holds a special place in my heart."[3]
AllMusic said that "the sound of this album is far closer to Eminem's side of the Detroit hip-hop axis, specifically the cartoonish but musically fierce live-instruments-plus-samples sound of the best D12 tracks."[2]

| AllMusic |    [2] |
AllMusic wrote that Mutant was better than its predecessor, Man's Myth; Allmusic also said that Mutant is "the best album of Twiztid's career, [...] the one on which the duo finally steps out from the shadow of their mentors the Insane Clown Posse".[2]
