After at least 6 listens, I love it! I can't really compare it to any other STP records since they were so long ago for me. I can't stop listening this cd though.

Hazy Daze is phenomenal, love Cinnamon also. I like ALL the songs but love about 4 or 5......well done STP!

I even dig the itunes per-order bonus track (forget the name).....#13 right after Maver (not Samba Nova, the bonus track on the Deluxe version).

Cinnamon and Hickory Dichotomy are my current favorites.


absolutely love Cinnamon though.

To celebrate the tour STP is sending two lucky people (must be legal residents of the United States of America and 18 years of age or older at the time of entry!) on an all expense paid trip to see STP on their first US date at Red Rocks Amphitheater August 10th in Denver!

Check the band's official website for details.

Sorry, I saw the post below yours, but somehow missed the dates.

[cotis]

I'm just kidding

Its weird, STP must be huge in USA. Seriously, theirs been no mention of them AT ALL in the UK.

[D]

album is officially growing

if i rank it on first listen i would've said 3/10

now though it is kicking major ass

Dare if U Dare is my current fave with Cinnamon Hickory Dichotomy and Between the lines

gonna listen to some more now.

on a side note, i just discovered the song "Atlanta" off NO.4  holy fuck what a great,beautiful song.

Its a shame really. I only heard of STP because of Scott Weiland joining VR. I love VR but even if I didnt at least I was made aware of what is now one of my favourite bands.

Personal favourites from the new album at the moment are Hazy Daze, Hickory Dichotomy, Dare if you Dare and Bagman

[Verse Chorus Verse]

I'm really liking this album. Maybe it's a little too poppy even for STP, but it's definitely a good summer record.

Stone Temple Pilots To Debut At One

by Paul Cashmere - June 1 2010

Stone Temple Pilots first studio album in nine years is expected to debut at number one of the US chart next week, although it will have poor first week sales.


The self-titled Stone Temple Pilots album, their sixth studio release, is tracking to sell somewhere between 65,000 and 70,000 units, quotes hitsdailydouble.com.

In the 90s, Stone Temple Pilots were one of America’s biggest rock bands. Their 1992 debut album sold 8 million units in the USA while only getting to no. 3. The follow-up in 1994, ‘Purple’, was a number one record and sold around 6 million.

Subsequent albums by Stone Temple Pilots were ‘Tiny Music … Songs From The Vatican Gift Soft’ in 1996 (2 million), ‘No. 4’ in 1999 (1 million) and ‘Shangri-La Dee Da’ in 2001 (500,000).

Stone Temple Pilots US hits include ‘Plush’ ,‘Vasoline’, ‘Interstate Love Song’ and ‘Big Empty’ from 1994, ‘Dancing Days’ from 1995, ‘Big Bang Baby’, ‘Lady Picture Show’ and ‘Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart’ in 1996, ‘Down’ and ‘Sour Girl’ in 1999 and ‘Days of the Week’ in 2001.

Thank u Itunes

I bet Between The Lines sold 100k though.

[Bodhi]

so it looks like a new "Glee" soundtrack came in at the last minute and robbed STP of the number 1 spot.

[Dayle1066]

Fuckin' Glee.

(Not the most constructive comment but it sums it up)

[D]

Facepalm at America's shitty musical tastes. WTF

[MrMojoRa]

Still lovin' this cd playing it at least once every day.

Glee is a successful corporate dangling of sub-par carrots to societies sheep. If the puppets will pay, the suits will release a new Glee compilation every 4 weeks.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

I though soundtracks had their own separate chart? The catalog one? It's bullshit that a soundtrack can beat out an actual band.

SCOTT WEILAND OF STONE TEMPLE PILOTS DISCUSSES SOCIAL ANXIETY

?I?ve never felt comfortable in crowds,? said Weiland. ?I remember even before we ever made it big, going into my favourite bar where I knew virtually everybody?I was being looked at, and I didn?t feel comfortable.?

Instead of reveling in the attention, Weiland was tortured by it. And things got so bad, that the musician needed to find an escape. Unfortunately, he explained, that escape happened to be drugs.

?When I started doing heroin in 1993, it took away that fright,? explained Weiland. ?I didn?t care who was looking at me.?

Weiland explained that there was a difference between performing with Stone Temple Pilots to sold out crowds and appearing in public places that might trigger his social anxiety.

?When I?m on stage, I?m a performance artist,? he said. Things are different, though, when he?s not making music. ?I don?t like going to places like Disneyland where there?s a lot of people.?

I can totally relate to that. I don't do larege crowds of people well either.

[D]

I am totally loving this CD

Dare if you Dare is one of my fave STP songs ever
Cinnamon fantastic
First Kiss on Mars is great
Maver outstanding
Hickory Dichotomy is so different and killer, should be the next single id imagine.

Agreed.

Maver reminds me a bit of Don't Drop That Dime (why was that made a hidden track??...) but even better. Still my fav on the album. I quite like the 'Scotty Rotten' vocals on Hickory Dichotomy. Thought it sounded slightly daft at first, but they suit the song for sure.
