Puddle of Mudd review up at antiMusic

I remember seeing these guys tour with Korn after their first record, and it seems they're still around. Here's my take on Famous.

Main point:

A few years back, Puddle of Mudd pushed all the right buttons with Come Clean. Their early-'90s throwback sound netted them a few hits, and they toured with the best in the business.

At that point, they should have called it quits – or at least severely adjusted their extremely grunge-derivative sound. Instead, they kept trying to put out the next Nevermind. The new Famous is exactly what you'd expect from them, meaning it's always inoffensive, often catchy and never innovative.
