Sound: The sound here is very much tight, heavy rhythm guitar, no guitar heroics, just nice solid riffs- and some good ones at that. Some of the production was helped along by Fred Durst, and you can really hear his influence on the album, but in a good way; it's a kind of nu-metal-meets-grunge vibe that comes off really well. Puddle of Mudd haven't exactly redefined modern music with Come Clean, but that's not what they were trying to do, this is music to mosh and have a good time to...

Sound: I am thoroughly sick of reading the junior-league, limited-frame-of-reference, shallow, "I've never written a song in my life but I can be a critic on the web" reviews that I keep seeing on these forums regarding this CD. They're not hanging on to anything or riding on the coat tails of anything. These guys have a sound, and they play that sound with unmistakable identity, and undeniable conviction...

Sound: If there's one thing that Puddle Of Mudd will never skimp on in their music, it's attitude. On the band's 2002 record Come Clean, the single "She Hates Me" was an infectious listen thanks to vocalist Wes Scantlin's cynical, hardened delivery. Sure, there were other traditional rock elements that made for a catchy song, but it was Scantlin's gritty vocals that made the song truly stick out...

People of a certain age may reflect fondly on Puddle Of Mudd; their 2001 major label debut effort Come Clean was great fun, appealing to a demographic not particularly well-served back then. Still, you can't exactly say they've caught alight since and for most people, the main surprise won't be that they're now releasing a covers album, it'll be that they're still going.It's worth stating that whatever you think of them even attempting the likes of 'Rocket Man' and 'T.N.T...

Sound: If the title didn't tip you off, that is pretty much exactly what you'll be expecting on the record. Puddle of Mudd has proven that they can write a really catchy riff, and score a hit single. As with previous releases such as Famous and Life on Display, Puddle of Mudd provides the hard hitting rock songs mixed in with the occasional ballad. A tried and true formula for today's modern rock. They don't stray far from previous releases...

Forty-five seconds into "life on Display," Puddle of Mudd's second major-label album, singer Wesley Scantlin announces he's "drowning in a pool of misery." While most bands would spend more time working their way up to such a histrionic confession, it's par for the course with the Puddles, who specialize in third-rate grunge retreads stuffed with overdriven guitars and generic rock-dude melancholia...

If the Who's Who's Next is the finest album ever made with a picture of someone urinating on the cover, Puddle of Mudd's major-label debut, Come Clean (which features a child relieving himself in the bushes), could be the worst. It's hard to imagine a record more indebted to the leading lights of grunge and less imaginative about what to do with that debt...
