"Life on Display" is the second major label album by post-grunge band Puddle of Mudd. It was produced by John Kurzweg whose previous work includes Creed, Socialburn, and No Address. Despite generally negative reviews, the album reached #20 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned one hit single, "Away from Me," which reached #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. Two additional minor hits include "Spin You Around" and "Heel Over Head." All three singles had corresponding music videos.

To date, "Life on Display" has sold 706,191 units in the United States compared their previous album, "Come Clean", which has sold over five million copies and has been certified 5x platinum. Contrary to popular belief, album sales did not affect former members Greg and Paul's decisions to depart from the band.

Promotion

The "Away from Me" video was featured during the 10th season of "Making the Video". Puddle of Mudd also performed four tracks off the album on the November 25 debut episode of Fuse TV's "7th Avenue Drop" . "Nothing Left to Lose" served as the main theme song for WWE's "Royal Rumble 2004".

Critical response

"Life on Display" received largely average to poor reviews from "Entertainment Weekly", "E Online", and AllMusic. Christian Hoard of "Rolling Stone" gave the album a mere 1 out of 5 stars, citing "the predominant emotion transmitted by these tired, hookless tunes is a kind of skull-banging numbness."
