Album reviews

Shangri-La Dee Da
Atlantic (2001)
The news is that Scott Weiland is sober, for the first time since Stone Temple Pilots started climbing the charts in the early '90s. It is probably irrelevant for the artistic values of Shangri-La Dee Da, the album in which the other "pilots," ie., the ones who actually play the music, graduate to elegant and seasoned arrangers.

No. 4
Atlantic (1999)
It's too bad Weiland can't get his act together, because he's helping write a sorry final chapter to an already lame-duck band.

Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop
Atlantic (1996)
Though the Stone Temple Pilots' Purple album proved the California foursome capable of more than ripping off riffs from every Seattle band (which they did often on their sub-par first disc Core), its follow-up Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Giftshop finds these "grunge rockers" floundering under the brunt of many hindrances.
