Puddle
of
Mudd:
Famous
This
bunch
don't
bother
waiting
around
to
nail
you
with
a
great
track.
The
title
track
and
opener
is
great
and
oozes
LA
sleaze
of
the
80s.
It's
the
first
single
and
there
is
no
doubt
why
this
track
got
picked.
Co-written
with
Brian
Howes
of
Hinder,
everyone
just
knew
this
had
hit
written
all
over
it.
The
rest
of
the
album
continues
along
the
same
vein,
with
hints
of
Nirvana
creeping
in
as
well
as
the
modern
pop
rock
sound.
What
this
CD
reminds
me
of
is
the
last
release
from
Buckcherry.
And
that
is
no
bad
thing.
PoM
might
have
started
out
as
alternative,
but
this
is
mainstream
done
very
well.
No
navel-gazing
on
here.
I
can
only
see
this
album
taking
the
band
even
higher
"We
Don't
Need
to
Look
Back
Now"
has
got
power
ballad
hit
written
all
over
it,
an
ever-so-slight
hint
of
GooGooDolls
will
make
sure
this
does
well.
Think
"Iris"
for
the
00s.
Great
album
from
an
impressive
band.
