5.0 out of 5 stars The piolots do it again, 19 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (Audio CD)
Probably one of the most greatest albums I have had the fortune to purchase. The album starts off with meat plow, nothing extra special, moving rapidly into vasoline. As the album progress the tracks get bettrer. A favouritetrack of mine being big empty, featured on the crow soundtrack. The album ends with a hidden track done in the style of a sleazy club singer. In my mind well worth a purchase, You will not be disappointed with this album>

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 belting melodies, 18 April 2006
This review is from: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (Audio CD)
It really is a puzzle to me why Stone Temple Pilots are pretty much best known for their singer fronting Velvet Revolver. All five of their albums are top quality as far as I'm concerned, and this, their second, is the best of all. We'll all have our favourites, from the grunge/country inspired "Interstate Love Song", to the thrusting and crawling "Vaseline", and my own personal favourite, the brilliant "Kitchenware and Candy Bars", which builds tension superbly before releasing you at the end. How this song isn't a bona fide rock classic acknowledged by millions is beyond me; it's one of the best kept secrets in rock. I find it impossible to listen to this song in my car without spanking the steering wheel and screaming the chorus at the top of my weak and feeble voice.

But beyond all that, it is an album without any slack whatsoever. Okay then, "Pretty Penny" I'm not too keen on, but plenty of others are, and "Silvergun Superman" more than makes up for it. This is a genuine rock classic album, that should sit in everyone's record collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Record, 20 Feb 2001
By Robert Johnson (The Remote Parts of, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (Audio CD)
Where this differs to other STP recordings is that the textures are more lush and the overall vibe a little more psychedelic. It marks a great turning point for the band as they nailed a sound that killed off the Pearl Jam comparisons instantly. Scott Weilands ethereal, trippy lyrics wash over the tunes and the mix is irresistable. And there are tonnes of great tunes, notably Interstae Lovesong, Big Empty, Still Remains and Kitchenware and Candybars. This isn't very grungey, owing more to Bowie and the Airplane than Kurt Cobain. This is a delicious record that should pride any self-respecting rock fan's collection.
