Our Take

In the grand tapestry of '90s rock, Stone Temple Pilots were often seen as the misunderstood stepchild, sandwiched between the grunge giants and the post-grunge pretenders. But with their debut album "Core," the band from San Diego managed to carve out their own niche in the alt-rock scene.

Opener "Dead & Bloated" sets the tone with its gritty guitar riffs and Scott Weiland's haunting vocals. It's a brooding introduction to an album that's as raw and unapologetic as a morning after a heavy night out.

Tracks like "Sex Type Thing" and "Plush" showcase the band's ability to blend heavy grunge with melodic hooks, while "Creep" sees Weiland at his most vulnerable, wearing his heart on his sleeve.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Core." The band injects a dose of funk on cuts like "Naked Sunday" and "Wicked Garden," showing off their versatility and refusal to be pigeonholed.

While Stone Temple Pilots may never have achieved the heights of their Seattle counterparts, "Core" remains a solid debut that stands the test of time. So grab your flannel shirt, get your Docs on, and prepare to be transported back to the heyday of '90s alternative rock. It's a journey worth taking.

About the artist

Stone Temple Pilots

Stone Temple Pilots, the iconic American rock band hailing from San Diego, California, burst onto the music scene in the early 1990s with their unique blend of grunge, alternative rock, and hard rock. Led by the enigmatic frontman Scott Weiland, the band quickly rose to fame with their debut album "Core" in 1992. With hits like "Plush" and "Creep," Stone Temple Pilots became a household name, known for their raw energy and soulful lyrics. However, their success was not without its challenges, as the band struggled with internal conflicts and substance abuse issues throughout their career. Despite these setbacks, Stone Temple Pilots continued to push boundaries and evolve their sound, experimenting with psychedelic rock and acoustic elements on later albums like "Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" and "Shangri-La Dee Da." Following Weiland's tragic death in 2015, the band recruited Jeff Gutt as their new lead vocalist and released their self-titled album in 2018, showcasing a renewed sense of creativity and passion. Known for their electrifying live performances and infectious melodies, Stone Temple Pilots have carved out a unique place in rock history, influencing countless bands and musicians along the way. With their enduring legacy and timeless music, Stone Temple Pilots remain an essential part of the alternative rock canon.
