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.

The beauty of simplicity I know this band is never going to be a Led Zeppelin or Radiohead or Tool, but I don't think they ever intended to be. If you like your rock complex and sophisticated, you probably won't get much out of this album, or this band for that matter. On the other hand, if you like something predictable that you can sing on the first listen and tracks that are straight forward, I would suggest checking out this CD. When I listen to this band, I hear a Nirvana cover band that doesn't play Nirvana songs. When... more info
Another pretty good album for their 3rd effort It's been 4 years since their last album, and again the Kansas City group delivers a nice 4 star album. In overall quality, I'd say it's right about equal with their last 2. Yeah I know they have been criticized for sounding like Nirvana, and I'd agree, but it's not all that bad of a thing. This might be their most consistant of the 3 albums, no great song, but no bad one. I'd say 2 are ok, the other 9 are good. Of the 950+ CD's I own, only about 50 or so are alternative CD's, but Puddle of Mudd is one of... more info
Puddle of Mudd - Famous This was my first Puddle of Mudd CD (and my first CD purchase is in quite awhile) but I liked the majority of the song clips I heard so I went with the CD instead of individual song downloads. I was not dissapointed with my decision to purchase the entire CD.
Juvenile, misogynist dreck 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... more info
