CraigMay 26, 2010Really excellent stuff--better than I expected. Of course, my favourite STP album is Tiny Music, so I'm open to some of the more pop-oriented explorations here (Although I can't stand Hickory Dichotomy--Weiland sounds like the flaming dude from the B-52s).

DanMay 25, 2010Very good, took a bunch of listens to get on board with the different sound they went with (as usual with their later albums), but very worth it.

MatthewSMay 25, 2010Wow. I forgot about smart Rock n' Roll. This definitely fills a void in modern music. Stripped down and expanded at the same time. Rare talent.

MitchZMay 25, 2010Probably the best rock record I've listened to in the last 10 years.

SoyMay 29, 2010It's no Core or Purple, or even Tiny Music, but it's still good enough to stay in the same room as them.

Sep 26, 2014This is the best album of all time. I didnt expect something really unique untill I listened to the whole album. It brings something new to Stone Temple Pilots. There is a mixture of Grunge and Alternative Rock. It works very well for Stone Temple Piolets. Best album of all time. 10/10.

Scott Weiland sounds downright effervescent on the first Stone Temple Pilots disc in nearly a decade. There's nothing new here, just cheap and easy pop-rock mimicry (the Beatles, Petty, Nirvana, Bowie, Aerosmith), siphoned through spry, crunchy grunge riffs.
-
It's not groundbreaking stuff, but it surpasses all expectations for a group who've spent almost a decade apart.
-
The 12 tracks blend essentially everything STP ever did well without sounding like a stitched-together version of past hits.
