Free Music Review: Imitation is the highest form of flattery...or maybe not.
Hit: 1 Stars
I admit it, I thought the song 'Blurry' was an OK song for a post-grunge/wanabe-grunge band, and most of the other singles off 'Come Clean' were somewhat tolerable. However; when the local rockstations took it upon themselves to bombard us with 'She f--king Hates Meeee' 24/7, I realized just how mediocre they really were. Granted, I knew they weren't so great to begin with, but at least 'Blurry' was a somewhat tolerable Nevermind-derived song. But 'tolerable' isn't really saying much for their artistic ability of which they are obviously lacking.
When their next [and last? :)] album came out and the stations began to play 'Away From Me' it was clear just they were trying way too hard. All you need to hear is the first song, 'Away From Me' to realize that that's just where you should get from this band.
As far as sounding like Nirvana goes, Puddle of Mudd does not sound like them at all, what they sound like is a band blatently trying to rip-off Nirvana's style. That's what the fans hate, and that's why Puddle of Mudd will always be loathed by fans of grunge. They just try too hard. Especially if you look at their videos, of which I only remember seeing one and it was a long time ago, but so much of it, from the underwatery effect to the guy's hair just looked like a Nevermind-era rip off. If I hadn't known who they were beforehand I'd have thought it was a parody! [and a rather bad one at that, nowhere near as great as Weird Al].
Oh and one more thing before I end this, to that guy before me: for future reference, before you go and diss a band you obviously know nothing about, could you at least try and get some facts right? It was not '10-15' years ago, it was 12. And besides that, what exactly does that even have to do with anything? John Lennon died 26 years ago, should we care any less about him and his music as time goes by? Absolutely not. Death means nothing in the world of music, only that it lives on in the hearts and minds of fans everywhere. And lastly, yes you should hate Pepsi for tasting similar to Coke because it's obviously trying too hard to be Coke. :D
I will be very stunned if this band ever has a comeback and even more so if it's successful. I guess the record execs realized that emo was the new hip thing and ditched these guys faster than you can say My Chemical Romance.
Free Music Review: Great Album!!!

This is a great album to own if you enjoy mainstream rock!! You will be listening to every single song over and over until you're spinning around, and going heel over head, lol!!
I can't stand all the Nirvana fans who blast this band. It saddens me that you cannot get over the loss of your favorite artists (which was like what.. 10-15 years ago) and begin to re-recognize great new music when you hear it. Just because it may sound similar to another band, doesn't mean you should hate it. I don't hate Pepsi for tasting similar to Coke.

Seriously this is watered-down rock music for people who like their rock watered! It always thrills me when I see bands like this fall out of favor, but I have learned that it usually has nothing to do with the music itself. Their "PIMPS" (record execs.) find a band with a better looking lead singer and groups like this get thrown into the dumpster. So what happens? the music doesn't get any better, just the way the band looks does. Isn't that what boy bands do? Well if I must say anything else about this album it would be boring, bland and what ever else I can think of to describe music to sleep to. I am getting tired writing about bands like this but I will continue as long as it changes just one persons mind. If on the other hand this upsets you in anyway I suggest that you checkout some of my other reviews I am sure that will get your panties all twisted up! Free Music Review: I don't understand
Hit: 3 Stars
I feel like there is a lot of dislike for this band ONLY because of Fred Durst/their label and because the lead singer voice slightly sounds like Kurt. I think people shouldn't jump on the bandwagon and take the music for what it is.Free Music Review: Not one bad song!
Hit: 5 Stars
Every song on this CD is absolutely awesome! I own both Life on Display and Come Clean. It's a toss up on which is my favorite! They are both definitely in my top 10 CD's of all time! These guys know how to rock! Buy it! You won't be disappointed!
