Biography

The success of alternative rockers Puddle of Mudd is attributable in part to Fred Durst who, after hearing a demo tape sent to him by Wes Scantlin, helped him to construct a band. Scantlin already had some songs ready to work on, having written them while in an earlier incarnation of the band - they had already released two minor label albums Stuck and Abrasive in 1994 and 1997.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Puddle Of Mudd Band: Wesley Scantlin - vocals/guitar Douglas Ardito - bass Christian Stone - guitar/vocals Ryan Yerdon - drums

"It's about passion and writing music that connects with other people and somehow heals them in a great way. I really want to try to crawl under peoples' skin and at the same time make some kick-ass rock `n roll music," says Puddle Of Mudd front man Wesley Scantlin about his band's third album, Famous.

Puddle Of Mudd now has fresh inspiration from new members Christian Stone (ex-Campfire Girls) and Ryan Yerdon.

Famous was recorded in Los Angeles and Colorado. Brian Howes (Hinder, Daughtry) co-wrote the first single "Famous" with Wes and produced the track. Former Black Flag drummer Bill Stevenson (Rise Against, MXPX etc.), Jason Livermore (Rise Against, NOFX) and our own Jack Joseph Puig along with Puddle Of Mudd all have producer credits on the album.

Hometown Base: Los Angeles, CA

· First single "Famous" topped the rock radio charts at #1 on both the Active and Mainstream Rock formats. Top 30 @ Modern Rock.

· Over 5 million combined U.S. album sales in the bands career so far.

· U.S. tour Fall 2007 starts 9/21 runs through to end of November.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who knows, October 9, 2007
This CD along with Puddle of Mudd in general is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. While I don't think they are the most talented or original band, they can craft some pretty catchy radio stuff. This album is better than their last one, Life On Display, but it's not quite as good as their first. If they market the CD it has the songs to do very well on rock/mainstream radio, but it seems they aren't marketing it much at all. Here's a run down of some of the songs:

Famous - their first single similar to Away From Me and Control. 8/10

Livin' On Borrowed Time - Like Famous, the chorus is like a Vines song. 7/10

It Was Faith - Generic rock ballad. 6/10

Psycho - Like Nirvana's Lithium only faster and louder, it's a bit repetitive and the lyrics are stupid. 7/10

We Don't Have To Look Back Now - Another rock ballad, not too bad, could be a hit. 8/10

Moonshine - One of those songs that's kinda filler, but this is alright, just not very unique. Reminds me of their 1st CD's vibe. 7/10

Thinking About You - Another decent ballad, the beginning is a lot like Edgewater's "Lifter". 8.5/10

Merry Go Round - Lot's of Nirvana inspiration here, Son of a Gun and Molly's Lips come to mind. 8/10

I'm So Sure - Weakest song on CD as far as rock songs go. Nothing memorable here. 5/10

Radiate - Chorus sounds like Augustana's Stars And Boulevards with some "Blurry" guitar work. 8/10

If I Could Love You - Like Moonshine. Not a good closer, Piss it Away was much better. 6/10

No 9/10's or higher because there is nothing that original or special about this CD, but I would say as a whole the CD is a 7.5/10. their last would be 6/10 and the first 9/10.

3.0 out of 5 stars More polished, more songwriters, more of the same, October 11, 2007
By M. Herzog (chicago) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Puddle of Mudd have always been interesting in their refusal to stray from their own formula. Whether its reviews accusing them of ripping off Nirvana, or stating they're nothing more than one trick ponies, they never have attempted to really stray from their trademark sound. Though when trying to sell albums that might be good. I saw them in concert in August and was looking forward to this album, which contains some really good songs. The trouble is, I can't help but feel these are alot of the same tricks they've used before. Though they hired some professional songwriters, they are still the same formula. But in an age where experiments lead to disasters like Korn's Untitled, that can be a good thing. Sometimes getting straight up post grunge is just what you need. If you do, you'll find it here. It won't shatter your senses, or change your outlook on life, but it will allow you to turn up the volume on your stereo for a little while. An entertaining album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected, October 8, 2007
Sure it's easy to bash these guys who're without a doubt heavily influenced by 90's bands such Nirvana and Alice in Chains, but I'll refrain from that.
The albums starts strong with the chart rocking and ultra-catchy single 'Famous' and then slides into the realms of mediocrity. Those expecting numerous rocking songs in the vein of older classics such as Away From Me and Control etc will be bitterly disappointed, as this albums comprises of numerous bland 'rock ballads'. Next time the guys should stick at what they're good at; producing balls out Post-Grunge anthems.
