Come Clean by Puddle of Mudd
Come Clean is an album by Puddle of Mudd, released in 2001. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 122 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Blurry”, on 57 lists and voted number one twice.
Come Clean, Puddle of Mudd's second album and their first for a major, came out on August 28, 2001, through Flawless Records, and it's the record that finally broke them into the mainstream. John Kurzweg produced it, and a handful of the songs were new recordings of tracks from their earlier releases, Stuck and Abrasive.
It's post-grunge in its purest form: sludgy, down-tuned guitars, a quiet verse that swells into a big, shouted chorus, and a singer who sounds like he's been wronged and wants you to know it. "Blurry" is the brooding heart of the album, slow and heavy and aching, "Control" is a swaggering, grinding bruiser, and "She Hates Me" is a snotty, sing-along kiss-off. "Drift & Die" was a single too.
It climbed to number nine on the Billboard 200, the highest they ever got there, went triple platinum and has sold more than 5,000,000 copies.
