    This my friend is not just bad for Stone Temple Pilots, it's just a lackluster album overall. Coming from a true STP, Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver, Army of Anyone - fan. Honestly, the band doesn't sound half bad, this time I'd place fault mostly on Scotty. Still love you Scott.

    Scott Weiland sounds downright effervescent on the first Stone Temple Pilots disc in nearly a decade. There's nothing new here, just cheap and easy pop-rock mimicry (the Beatles, Petty, Nirvana, Bowie, Aerosmith), siphoned through spry, crunchy grunge riffs.

    It's not groundbreaking stuff, but it surpasses all expectations for a group who've spent almost a decade apart.

    The 12 tracks blend essentially everything STP ever did well without sounding like a stitched-together version of past hits.
