    A dissapointing end to an otherwise stellar career. A handful of good tracks (Wonderful is amazing), but this CD just doesn't compare to the other 4.

    I really want to give this album a ten. Maybe I should. When I first heard the album, I started to think that I was listening to a rehash of 4. By the end of the album I knew I was wrong. And don't get me wrong. I really liked 4 quite a bit, though it was flawed. Every time I listen to SLDD it becomes more intense and involved. Really a super album. Hopefully the bands publicity with Weilands probs will not keep this album from getting what it deserves...RESPECT...and to be bought wouldn't hurt the band a bit either. Great album.… Expand

    Another great STP album. I think they are the closest thing to a modern day Led Zeppelin. They can play the hard and fast stuff, but also they are very good at slower acoustic stuff. Shangri-La Dee Da isn't my favorite STP album, but it is still a good album that I like very much. Hopefully the next album will be more like Core. STP shows great diversity as a band in their sound.

    This album will seem like a rehash of STP's past works, or unadventurous, but those are both wrong. "Coma" and "Regeneration" are both unique and hard-rocking simultaneously, and "Hollywood Bitch" is as poignant as you can get. It's got heartfelt lyrics, and is just real brilliant. Had radio not gotten me sick of "Days of the Week", it'd be a 10, but I still recommend it to you. Haters of this album are brainwashed to think that Core is their best, while it was really Purple, though all STP is great.… Expand

    The grrr goes out of Shangri after the first few tracks. [22 Jun 2001, p.90]

    Eclectic to the point of sounding confused.

    Today, in a world rooted in an entirely different stratum of rock, they're as lively as the corpses that archaeologists hook out of peat bogs: perfectly preserved, but not great for dancing or conversation.
