Puddle Of Mudd - Come Clean (2001)

Possessing a likable, arena-rock amalgamation of grunge, alternative, and nu metal, Kansas City’s Puddle of Mudd are at once emotional and straight-ahead. Indeed, their no-frills lineup puts one in mind of a less uptight Creed. Singer Wesley Reid Scantlin possesses an Eddie Vedder earnestness that on hard-hitting tunes like “Nobody Told Me” takes on a Cobain-like urgency. Ranging from acoustic-based yet lush midtempo rockers such as “Drift and Die” to the gimmicky fun of “She Hates Me” to the edgy Nirvana-esque “Bring Me Down” to the dynamic and direct “Control,” the 11-song-strong Come Clean is an assured, accomplished, and varied debut likely to resonate with rock fans of many tastes and temperaments.

One of the first acts signed to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst’s label, Flawless Records, was the alt-metal quartet Puddle of Mudd — consisting of Wesley Scantlin (guitar and vocals), Paul Phillips (guitar), Douglas Ardito (bass), and Greg Upchurch (drums). While their songs expectedly contain the rage of such contemporaries as Korn and Rage Against the Machine, Scantlin’s voice at times is eerily similar to Nirvana’s late, great frontman, Kurt Cobain, containing unmistakable elements of traditional hard rock (unlike the other aforementioned band’s penchant for rap). August 2001 saw the release of their major-label debut, Come Clean (which was preceded by the independent release Abrasive), as they embarked on a European tour with Godsmack a month later, before touring the U.S. as part of the Family Values 2001 tour, alongside Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, and Staind.
