Its slow pace and exhausting lyrics kill the song. The intro brings this 4:56 minute track into a amazingly pain staking start. Sydney - A boring song both musically and lyrically. The progression of the song is very well done and very well thought out. The lyrics will resonate well with angsty teens and even those in their early to mid 20's. 3/5įreak of the World - Another heavier of the songs on the album. “I’m just sitting at the bottom with you.” This mono-tone chant gets quite irritatingly boring / annoying after someone has chanted 10-20 times. Though Wes’ gets quite repetitive after a certain point. The lyrics are harsh and stick with their listener. 5/5īottom - Bottom is another hard hitting song. The climax of this song starts to pick the album back up. The song starts off with a insidious guitar rift that quickly turns in a stream of distorted and vibrating guitar rifts. Finally a song that isn’t all about break ups. This is a harder hitting song, about sex and not just any sex, good sex, oh and drugs. 3/5Ĭloud 9 - This song brings the album back up to cloud 9. The music supports the song with some decent rifts. What are the lyrics about? I came to the conclusion that this is yet another failing relationship song, with Wes' asking for some more time to figure his *** out.
Think - Quite literally this song made me think. Though the music progresses quite steadily I had lost interest by the climax. While songs like this have their place in society, it makes no sense in the middle of this album. 0/5Īlready Gone - It is blatantly clear what this song is about. Spin You Around - Horribly simplistic and boring. 1/5Ĭhange My Mind - The music in this song is much calmer, then the previous three songs, But the lyrics hold the same angst and continue the "story" of the album. The only thing I found of any value in this song is the progression of the album, The lyrics seem to fit in with the previous two songs.
A slowly power cord base mixed in with a little wah peddling. The only musical part that sounds any different then other puddle of Mudd songs is the intro. Nothing Left to Lose - Puddle of Mudd really had nothing left to lose by putting this song on the album. The song begins slightly more mellow then the previous but ends with a tremendous climax of feeling and angst. Heel Over Head - Another song which the lyrics touch upon failing relationships. The song is highly reminiscient of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. Fear of a breaking relationship is the major theme in Away from Me. The lyrics pick up off of their previous album, Come Clean. Though some may argue the ban only gained stardom from riding Durst’s coat tails I beg to differ seeing as they can produce some songs worth listening to.Īway from Me - This song starts off the album with a quick passed rock picking rift which from a guitarists point of few sounds pretty cool, and quickly turns into a powerful hard hitting distorted rock rift. The album like its predecessor was executive produced by Fred Durst and Jordan Schur. The Album is the second album from Puddle of Mudd. And then there are some rather worthless songs. It had a few amazing songs on this album and the progression seems to melt half way through. Just an average album from a semi-decent band.
I rated this album as average, cause that’s what it was.
