    Happy in Galoshes isn't quite as textured or bright as "12 Bar Blues"--the smaller budget is evident in its muted colors as well as Weiland's sleepy delivery--but it has the same emphasis on churning psychedelia and clomping glam.

    While the debut showed him eager to step outside the confines of STP, he essentially has nothing to prove here, and as a result, it's a casual-sounding record.
  3. Rolling Stone

    His latest is two discs and all over the highway, from the solid rock of "Missin' Cleveland" to the banjo-glam ballad 'Tango With Your Mind' to the bossa-nova glide of 'Killing Me Sweetly.'

    "Happy In Galoshes" runs in much more familiar grounds than "12 Bar Blues" did, but it's still a joy to hear Scott Weiland running free "Happy In Galoshes" runs in much more familiar grounds than "12 Bar Blues" did, but it's still a joy to hear Scott Weiland running free from the constraints of an actual "band". "Paralysis" is simply wonderful and many other tracks follow closely. Good stuff.… Full Review »

    Ok, maybe it's not the most brilliant album ever made, but come on, it's still Scott Weiland!
