While not a masterpiece of an album, this was a good album that put Stone Temple Pilots on the map thanks to songs like "Sex Type Thing", "Plush", "Creep", "Wicked Garden" and "Crackerman" which are still played to this day. I don't know if it's the best album from the band, but it is the one most people are familiar with.

Incredible, fluid album full of energy and synergy among all who made it.
It's one of the best debut rock albums out there, however, "Purple" is probably my personal favorite of theirs. That record proved the industry, the critics and some of the buffoon Nirvana/Pearl Jam fanbase completely wrong at the time. Overall, the early to mid-90s was indeed a magical time in mainstream rock.

Please just watch the first twenty seconds of this Freddie And The Dreamers video. You see, Stone Temple Pilots were to Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Soundgarden what Freddie And The Dreamers were to The Beatles/The Stones/The Who. Just mindless crap trying to make a buck off the brilliance of the top bands.
If Stone Temple Pilots were around in the early '60s, they'd be doing this:

I loved Core ... it is by far my favorite STP album. After that the albums were all very good, just not great.  Under-appreciated STP Core song ... |

Just mindless crap trying to make a buck off the brilliance of the top bands. If Stone Temple Pilots were around in the early '60s, they'd be doing this: Billy Corgan once thought the way you do, but now admits he was wrong. STP's third album changed him from hater to fan. www.rollingstone.com/music/news/billy-corgan-scott-weiland-was-a-voice-of-our-generation-20151204While Core was accused of being derivative of Pearl Jam, by 1994's Purple, Stone Temple Pilots had locked onto their own unique sound.
By 1996's Tiny Music… Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop, Corgan was a fan. "It was STP's 3rd album that had got me hooked, a wizardly mix of glam and post-punk, and I confessed to Scott, as well as the band many times, how wrong I'd been in assessing their native brilliance," Corgan wrote. "And like Bowie can and does, it was Scott's phrasing that pushed his music into a unique, and hard to pin down, aesthetic sonicsphere." |

I miss those days very much. |
