Their first album “Core” was a big success and was as high as No.3 on the Billboard Albums Chart. Such a beautiful way to end an album! Another great one is “I didn’t know the time”. Best song on here is “Sunburst”, a wonderful piece that according to me sounds very much like a Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) song. It is however a very well put together album and the song writing is strong with many tunes that you’ll quickly sing-a-long to. The rest of the album is in the same vein (some old fan might say that’s sadly so). Stone Temple Pilots-Fare thee well (Official video) They have released three tracks before hand, the album named track “Perdida”, a very cinematic song based on acoustic guitars, bass and strings, “Three wishes” and “Fare thee well” two very familiar Stone Temple Pilots sounding tunes that takes you back in time, to slower tracks on earlier albums such as “Core” and “Purple”.
They deserve to be listened to, because this is a good album! Old fans might think this is slow and dull, but the truth is, Stone Temple Pilots deserve to be heard, and not just a fast playthrough. It is however, a very laidback record with all tunes being of the folky kind (flutes!), with loads of mellow acoustic guitars (sometimes even spanish ones), smooth bass lines and tasteful drums. It was rumoured to be all acoustic, but it is not. It deals with sorrow, heartbrakes and of embracing the darkness surrounding us. The new album (released February the 7th) is called “Perdida”, which is spanish and translates to “loss”. In 2017 the band held an audition and they chose Jeff Gutt as their new singer. The band then had a short stout with singer Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) that lasted two years. Stone Temple Pilots (STP) started with brothers Dean Deleo (guitar) and Robert Deleo (bass), drummer Eric Kretz and singer Scott Weiland. Originating out of San Diego, Stone Temple Pilots started their career way back in 1989, and are widely regarded to be a part of the grunge scene even though they weren’t from Seattle. Don’t take this as a warning, but be prepared for some new stuff and new music routes. They wanna play new songs live and why not. They want to record new stuff, change things, play harder/softer/slower/whatever. How many fans wouldn’t like another “Master of puppets” or “Ride the lightning” album? I know I definitely would, but let’s face it, it will never happen as the bands wants to evolve. Just look at Metallica and their fans as an example. They want their best-loved album to be repeated time after time. Most of the times, fans don’t seem eager for their favourite bands to change styles. 28 years ago, Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album “Core”.
