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

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

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

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

Summary: Juvenile, misogynist dreck
Comment: This album is worthless for so many reasons. First and most importantly, the music is pretty much just watered down Nirvana over and over. The same light verse, heavy chorus, the same type of vocals. With Puddle of Mudd, however, we are lucky enough to be subjected to a glitzy string-infused sugar coating over the sharp-edged pill that was grunge, but without any of the artistry and bite. That leaves this music little more than a Pop Rock CD alternately pissing on and sodomizing Kurt Cobain's corpse. The lyrics are (as always with this band) inane, woman-hating frathouse material. No offense to any fratboys who are actually cool and respectful to women. They -and anyone else who doesn't think of women as whorish sex-objects - should avoid this disc at all costs.

Summary: Guess I'm #3 to recomend the new Fozzy CD instead!
Comment: Do yourself a favor and do as other reviewers are saying and check out the new Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded. It's absolutely incredible. All That Remains Reloaded (W/Dvd)

Summary: best CD I ever bought
Comment: I consider myself a music snob adn I have to say this might be the best cd i ever bought. The guitar rocks, the drums pound and the whole thing just sounds awesome.

Summary: Don't know how people describe this as metal???
Comment: Read some reviews on this CD on this site and it sounded like people were describing it as metal. So i went out and bought it on that basis. Boy was i disappointed. There is no way this CD is a metal CD. It is wishy washy pop rock at best. Nothing heavy about it at all. I must admit i have only listened to it a few times but i can't see myself listening to it much more. A lot of the songs are slow and no heavy guitars no screaming solos' the singing a mild. I like a lot of other bands that seem to lumped with this one like Breaking Benjamin, Hoobastank, Evans blue, 10 years and Three days Grace all great bands this band isn't in the same league to those band.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Nothing new here........they should listen to Fozzy
Comment: Sounds a bit dated......it's not bad but the songs tend to be too similar. I like my CD's to have more variety, like Fozzy and their All That Remains Reloaded CD....
