Here are some customer reviews of Come Clean : I like that Fred Durst's name is plastered all over this CD. He's the A&R guy, the production guy and the first guy the band thanks for their 15 minutes on this currently ROCKless planet. Bands like Puddle of Mudd are a dime a dozen and will arrive and be gone before the mass majorities really have the chance to rally around them. Don't get me wrong, I am one of the many faithful Bizkit listeners and I think they are extremely entertaining in their own right. But if you see Durst's name on this disc and immediately think you're getting Limp Bizkit with a different legend, think again. What you are getting is a band that sounds like the currently successful Pop/Rock powerhouse, Fuel. However, there is a smittering of Candlebox in there as well and if you're a rock fan, you already know what happened to that Cinderella-story band. Do they even exist anymore? Honestly though, the CD isn't bad. But it is without a doubt, doomed for future failure, since there are more than a handful of rockers who like to play heavy riffs, belt out gut-wrenching vocals and sing swear words. I recommend this CD to the Napster generation, who will most likely burn a copy of the disc as soon as they hear the first single, "Control" on the radio. Well, the more power to them. But between Puddle of Mudd and Fuel, I'll take Fuel. Although Pop-laden, Fuel has artistic prowess that has been obvious from their first release to their second chart-topping monster, "Something Like Human." POM sounds like Fuel at times, but cracks under the pressure of Durst, who most likely told the band to use more profanity in their lyrics. It sounds good, but it also sounds like its been done a million times before. Although I have to admit, having Durst's name on the CD certainly won't hurt the band and will probably sell more records. That made me buy it. Nothing like the art of marketing. I would however, like to offer my support for track 5 on the album. I don't know how they did it, but the POM guitar and synth boys actually manage to make a CURE-like sound which echoes the morbid sound of the Disinigration album. By far the best track on the album. I believe its called "Blurry." Anyway POM, enjoy it while it lasts. As for Durst, I'd stick with the Bizkit. I don't think you can lose there. Here's another example of a band that is just ripping off good bands like Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots. Of course brainless MTV fans can't get enough of this because they're too young to remember the great alternative bands that Puddle of Mudd is shamelessly stealing from. The songs are all predictable and horrible. Hopefully they "Drift and Die" soon. This cd is awesome. There are ton's of awesome songs "control" - awesome song you've probably have heard on the radio. "Drift and Die" - A great song sounds a little bit like STP and Fuel. "Out of my head" - Good song with some great lyrics and vocals. "Nobody Told Me" - Not the best song on the cd but is still awesome with some great lyrics. "Blurry" - Great lyrics like all the other songs sounds a bit like Staind. "She Hates Me" - Good song about falling in love then breaking up and the feelings and thoughts you have. "Bring Me Down" - Great song like the rest "Never Change" - Damn I hate saying this but here's another great song. "Basement" - Not one of the best but great lyrics. "Said" - Maybe my least favorite but is still good song with great lyrics. "Piss it all away" - Slower song not much in the lyrics but good music. Well that's all of them. If you like rock, alternative, or heavy metal you'll love this cd it's awesome. If you don't like those try it anyways you'll prolly still like it. The best cd out this year. nothing special here. I don't get why people continue to listen to the same grunge over and over and over that came out over a decade ago. This crap is no different than Nirvana, STP or Smashing Pumpkins. I guess I was the moron who thought that music would countinue to evolve and change, like it did up until grunge hit. I think that the kids are rebellious, and therefore they need to listen to something hard, but since many are girls, it can't be too hard, so it gets tuned down a notch and always ends up sounding like this pathetic wannabe band. There's so many of them like this on the radio nowadays. How do you tell them apart? It used to be so easy: Michael Jackson, the Police, Madonna, each so different. Now record companies are just trying to churn out the next puddle of crap band so they can get the same mediocre sales that this form of music is now accustomed to getting. Disappointing to see art become so commercialized and robotic isn't it? By the way, when you're 15-18, this vomit called music the kids listen to isn't commercialized and robotic because it's "cool". If it wasn't "cool" then everyone would be negative about it. If some 50% of people listening think it's "cool" then woe to you if you happen to have an opinion. Just food for thought, in case you thought this band contained cerebellum. NOT! First of all, listen to the sound clips on this page. If they sound good to you, you obviously haven't heard enough music in general. If they sound like 90 other bands you just heard on the radio, you're getting warmer. If you're wondering why this album is already a "bestseller", here's a hint. I read an article about this band's record label offering prizes for the fan who can illegally stuff the ballot the most times for the single on MTV's video request show TRL. They even give instructions on how to get around the site's security measures! It makes sense, since the only way to differentiate between this band and a hundred others is if you know what they look like. The music itself is completely anonymous garbage. Does anyone remember the 80's Glam-rock explosion? This is the same type of thing. You could call this band the Enuff Z'nuff of 2001. Take your pick. It's an imitation of an imitation, all packaged and preened by the great pretender himself: Fred Durst. This record contains the same boring bulls**t being played on radio stations all across the country. Vedder-like vocals (faking a sincere voice: ironic, no?), overprocessed guitars and a general "oh, poor me" attitude. Are you going to let a record label executive tell you what's good? Why not seek out good music for yourself and let MTV spoon feed the garbage they spew to someone else. In five years or so everyone's going to be giggling about these bands, and the used CD rack at your local store is going to be choked with monochromatic, unoriginal tripe.
