Still one of my favorite albums of all time. In 1992 STP realeased this rock gem. It wasn't univerally aclaimed though that's for sure. While fans loved it enough to make it go 8 times platinum the critics dismissed it as just another grunge cd. Well, STP are still around making music, so what you got to say to that critics? Here's a song breakdown:
Dead and Bloated 5.0 Heck of a start to a cd. Scot Weiland's growling lyrics over a killer riff. Was never a radio single, but still gets a lot of airplay even today!
Sex Type Thing 4.9 A strong song condeming date rape. Pretty powerful stuff. If you find the single for Plush ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000057W1V?SubscriptionId=0QCHRJVSKG6F3BRGBNG2&tag=pbs_00098-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B000057W1V ) it contains a swing type version to the song. Pretty epic...
No Memory 3.7 Cool interlude that leads into....
Wicked Garden 4.8 Strong rock song. Another classic.
Sin 4.7 A very underated song. Weiland is here raging against sin and religion.
Naked Sunday 4.2 Interesting beat. Love the production on this song.
Creep 5.0 STP go acoustic on this one, and it is amazing. You can feel the intensity in Scott's voice too!
Piece of Pie 4.5 Interesting song. Not really in love with it though.
Plush 5.0 It doesn't get any better than this! The music, the lyrics, the singing, the baseline. Everything comes together in this one! Worth buying the cd just for this song!
Wet My Bed 2.5 Throw away track in my opinion. Very short and could've been left off.
Crackerman 5.0 My favorite song on the record! I saw Velvet Revolver play one time and they did this song. So good!
Where the River Goes 4.9 Good long ending song!
54.2 out of 60.0. Pretty awesome. If you don't have this cd but love rock, then you need to get this. Classic 90s rock at it's finest.
RATING: 5 of 5!
