MUSIC FROM THE HIT SERIES

Puddle of Mudd
Come Clean
Flawless 2001

Ah, Puddle of Mudd. What can | say about them? The words boring and crap
come to mind right off the mark. Another one of Fred Durst’s discoveries that
impress only the easily impressed and those who dislike thinking. Puddle of
Mudd lays it all out for the listener in an easy to understand format; why bur-
den the listener with needless metaphors if you don’t have to? POM strikes
me as the kind of band that is easily confused when people use big words
like originality and lyrical content. I’m afraid they have a bargain basement
sound, with a bargain basement singer, and bargain basement content, all of
which can be purchased at any Wal-Mart. POM can join the ranks of such
underwhelming radio icons like Default and Creed. Chant with me now!
Muddle of Pudd, Muddle of Pudd, Muddle of Pudd, Muddle of Pudd.

Stutterfly
Hollow
Independent 2001

Formerly known as “Uncle Ed’s Private Jet”, stutterfly has made a big name
for itself in the Okanagan. The Kelowna based “melodicore” band’s Hollow
EP is very impressive, especially in the originality of their sound. Not only
are the lyrics well-written, but each member of the band is extremely talented
creating an amazing finished product. The soft melodic voice of Chris (lead
vocalist) combined with the loud, but skillfully integrated, backup vocals pro-
vide the band with their very unique sound. Although much more mainstream
than some of their newer music, this CD is original and definitely worth a lis-
ten. Hear it by visiting their website (http://www.stutterfly.com/) and/or go see
them when they come to town on October 24th during their tour with
Glasshead (details will be available on website).

WWF Tough Enough Soundtrack
Dreamworks 2001

When | first saw this | was rather skeptical about how good a WWF sound-
track would be. Since | don’t have cable | had never even seen the show so |
wasn't really sure what to expect. Amazingly enough, this CD is really great.
Its got tons of radio hits, so it’s a perfect party CD. The tracks read like a
new-metal sampler, with stuff from Alien Ant Farm, Godsmack, Drowning
Pool, Papa Roach, and many other popular bands, and there are also a few
lesser known bands like Pressure 4-5 and Big Mother Thruster. For the most
part the whole CD is an upbeat mix. One of the best tracks is probably
Mudvayne’s endlessly inventive ‘Dig’. This CD is perfect if your looking for a
party mix or just to find some new metal bands that you might like.
