Re:(disc)overed is the sixth full-length studio album by the American rock band Puddle of Mudd. It was released on August 30, 2011, via the independent record label, Arms Division. A cover album that is a collection of eleven iconic classic rock songs by various artists and bands, Re:(disc)overed contains no new original material and follows the band's 2009 album Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate, also serving as the first new release since departing Flawless Records in 2010 and their first independent release since their 1997 debut album Abrasive. It also marked Puddle of Mudd's final album to feature band members Paul Philips on guitar and Doug Ardito on bass.
Background The band began recording the album in March 2011 and commenced within a three-week period. After touring and rehearsals for a fifth studio effort left the band mentally and physically exhausted, the idea for a cover record came into play. The choice of songs was whittled down from 30 candidates and eventually led to the recording of 15 tracks.
