Stone Temple Pilots Deluxe Edition


STOP! Save your money. Don't buy into the hype...
This record is a turd. Well, that's not fair, it's OK if you want the same ol' shatola. I guess I expected too much from this release. I had all the respect in the world for this band until now. STP's first three records in the 90's were outstanding, but this is a prime example of major music label crap. Recycle, repeat, regurgitate, just to make big money for all the top heavy executives. I may have raised an eyebrow on two or three tracks, but it took a live version of "Vasoline" from 1994's "Purple" for me to smile. Might as well go back and listen to the early stuff. I have "Tiny Music" lined up for the road trip to Bonneroo...
