Perfect Self, the debut from Stereomud, came out on May 22, 2001, through Loud Records and Columbia, with Rick Parashar producing. It's hard rock with a metal edge, close kin to Sevendust, which makes sense: bassist Corey Lowery is the younger brother of Sevendust's Clint Lowery.

Singer Erik Rogers swings between clean melody and full-throated screaming, and drummer Dan Richardson keeps the whole thing hammering. "Pain" and "Steppin Away" were the singles, both with videos, and "Don't Be Afraid" landed in the video game ATV Offroad Fury 2. The track list runs to 23 entries, a number Lowery considered lucky, though 10 are untitled electronic interludes spun off from the closing title track, an acoustic-and-electronica hybrid. It moved more than 100,000 copies in the US.
