Product Description

Grunge was the Stone Temple Pilots' stock-in-trade on their first two albums, but Tiny Music takes the group beyond such stylistic limitations. There's still plenty of grinding, metallic alt-rock here, thanks to "Pop's Love Suicide," "Big Bang Baby," and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart." "Lady Picture Show" is a bracing blast of Beatlesesque pop, however, while "And So I Know" finds Weiland crooning over, of all things, cocktail jazz. The album's dozen tracks find the troubled singer musing (rather creepily) about the price of fame on "Adhesive" ("Sell more records if I'm dead... Hope it's sooner / Hope it's near corporate records' fiscal year"), and not apologizing for his bad behavior ("Tumble in the Rough" asserts, "I'm looking for a new stimulation"; bet you are, Scott). But they're rock stars, not role models, and Tiny Music is STP's edgiest, most accomplished effort. --Daniel Durchholz

bother reading the one star reviews written by closed minded morons who like bands that put out the same garbage over and over and over again. When i see people talking badly about tiny music because "it's no core or purple, those were good STP albums" it really angers me. If STP had put out 5 albums that all sounded like core and purple, then people would be writing reviews saying "it sounds just like all of their other albums."
Don't get me wrong, I love core and purple, but i like them equally as much as tiny music, no.4, and shagri-la dee da. Now down to the actual Tiny Music review.
This is a fantastic, diverse album, that has some of my favorite STP songs ever. Songs like "Tripping on a whole in a paper heart", "Adhesive", and "Tumble in the rough" are amazing STP songs and Weilands singing on tripping sends chills down my back just because of the passion you can hear him putting out. This CD is, in a whole, softer then core, purple, and No.4, in general, but that doesn't mean that it isn't still a fantastic album. When i put it on, i just can't stop it, and pretty much every time i listen to it, i listen to it all the way through.
Now do the right thing and go out and buy this CD, you won't regret it (unless you want to hear the same cds redone over and over and over again).

Cruising around the internet, I've seen numerous reviews dismissing Tiny Music because it sounded "too soft", but when I gave it an honest listen, I didn't find anything remotely wrong with it. Aside from Big Bang Baby and Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, this CD has a good balance of hard-rockin' tracks(Tumble in the Rough...'nuff said) and soft ballads(And So I Know). It also shows that the band had a really great time doing this, possibly making this the brightest album they've ever done. This is something to listen to while you're on a vacation to the beach or just sucking in the atmosphere of a sunny day at the pool.

The title of the review says enough, in and of itself. Just as good, if not better than their first two. STP is definitely exploring new ground and expanding as a musical force. Unfortunately, this album is terribly underrated. By the way, I read the Amazon review.... What the hell is grunge, anyway? It's a term invented by the media, NOT a viable genre. Ugh.. As someone who grew up listening to so-called "grunge" music, which is really a blanket term for any kind of new rock that came out in the early ninties, I just had to get that out of my system.

Another fine release from STP
STP was one of the most important grunge metal bands of the early 1990's. They mixed Led Zeppelin style hard rock with the alternative acts of the era. Read more

The two singles I love do not represent the full album
STP's two singles that received massive rotation on radio stations ("Trippin' on a Hole" and "Big Bang Baby") are the only reasons to purchase Tiny Music. Read more

Underrated classic
Great album which sometimes gets an undeserved bad rap. This proved that STP was one of the most musically diverse bands the 90's had to offer.

STP�s WORST, NEVERTHELESS, A GOOD ALBUM
'Everpure', 'sugarboost', 'leadbelly': bizarre words, amongst the most bizarre sounding lyrics. TINY MUSIC... is an album, which had to undergo a lot during its making. Read more

An artistic triumph (4.5 stars)
Tiny Music is... well... different from Core and Purple. It's a complete stylistic departure from the previous two albums, as the band experimented with different music styles that... Read more
