START HERE!,
By Manuel (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thank You (Audio CD)
Let me start things of with the obvious: I'm a fan. Now you can choose to call me biased -I am by the way we all are and anyone who pretends to be neutral is a flat out liar- and not read my review.STP kick ass. Period. Their singles were usually their best stuff, and they are all here! As a result if you heard a song or two on the radio and they intrested you start here first. with this CD you get all of the band's strengths and none of the filler that is on the albums. Here you can see the reasons why critics labeled them Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc, etc rip offs and decide for yourself if they kick as much ass as I say they do or not. after listening to this go onto their albums and find the buried treasure that surely awaits an open mind. To pull just one song off of this album: Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, is STP at their pop best. It bursts into your speakers with maniac energy and does not stop it only gets better everytime I hear it. Not much of a review I know. But DON'T buy the bad press about these guys, what band doesn't rip off another older one to a degree? As for Weiland's drug problems I think Jimi Hendrix had a bit of a problem with that. Does that make either of them passable in their music talents? No, I don't think so. One more thing for all those indie/alternative people who hate anything because it is popular or "mainstream" screw off this band kicks ass and it is huge because people like stuff that is good. Give 'em a listen and you should see.

Best STP Album,
By Mike "Mike" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thank You (Audio CD)
The reason that I first bought Thank You is because I had heard "All in the Suit That You Wear" on the radio. I had never been a fan of Stone Temple Pilots before and I was not familiar with any of their songs. I knew that Core had sold over 8 million copies and thought this would be a good place to start. STP made many good songs over their career and they are all included here. "Vasoline" is short but great and "Plush" is the song that put them in the spotlight (and fortunately this includes the unedited version). "Interstate Love Song" is possibly the best single released by any band formed in the 90's and shows how amazing Weiland is (Don't forget "Sex Type Thing" and "Down"). After this I bought each of the rest of their albums over a span of four months and found that, apart from the songs that were included on Thank You, it was all weak material. Stone Temple Pilots is best described as a singles band, which is what makes Thank You so great. The album is not perfect, however. "All in the Suit that You Wear" is a good song but doesn't rank in their top five of all time. Songs like "Days of the Week" are terrible and have no place on a disc that also has "Big Empty" on it. An acoustic "Plush" seems unneccessary to all but acoustic fans and diehards.Weiland is an amazing vocalist and songwriter and has been an easy target for critics who call him a rip-off of Eddie from Pearl Jam or make fun of him for his drug problems. It is terrible that they do this for drug addiction is a disease and all those stupid people who ask him to his face pointless and (in some cases) hypocritical questions like "What is it like to ride in the back of a policecar?" should beat themselves, because Weiland is now refusing to speak to the media. I want everyone who listens to Weiland sing to not judge him nor his songs as no good just because of his drug past. I would strongly recommend people to just buy Thank You and save their money. If you have bought and enjoyed STP albums then I would recommend Contraband by Velvet Revolver because, like Stevem Tyler of Aerosmith, Weiland is at his peak when he is off of the drugs.

Not the best, but not bad,
By
This review is from: Thank You (Audio CD)
I had already had Core about a year before Thank You came out, but I didn't really give it any time. I had downloaded "All In the Suit that You Wear" and thought it was pretty cool. And being anal like I am, I had to have the CD because it's more 'official' to me. After I got Thank You, I slowly got the other 4 STP CDs I didn't have. After hearing those other CDs, I can say that Thank You left out a lot of good songs. Some of them are probably just favorites of mine, but I was really suprised "Dead & Bloated" was omitted. Some of these songs are really good, like "Down", "Wicked Garden", "Plush", "Creep", "Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart", "Sex Type Thing", and "Sour Girl", but like I said, it's not perfect. Greatest Hits albums are always risky because it's impossible to please everyone. Songs I would liked to have seen were "Dead & Bloated", "Still Remains", "Kitchenware & Candybars", "No Way Out", "Atlanta", "Coma", and "Wonderful". That's how it goes though, so in short, if you're new to STP, this is a good introduction, if you've got all of their CDs, it's a matter of liking all of these songs on one CD enough to buy it.
