Algorythum is the fifth studio album by Mentallo & The Fixer, released on February 16, 1999, by Metropolis Records. It was the band's first release without founding member Dwayne Dassing and was dedicated to his sister Danielle Dassing.
Reception
Steve Huey of AllMusic said "although the group's overall sound hasn't changed much without Dwayne, since Gary composed most of their best-known songs, there is a slightly more adventurous quality to the record, even if there are no radical rethinkings." Last Sigh Magazine called the album a "peaceful overall work of music with a touch of noise, a good deal of programming on the more gentle side of things and some experimental in terms of how the release congeals in continuity to bring about a new direction for Mentallo & The Fixer." Ink 19 commended the band's new direction despite losing a member.
