    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 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.

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.

    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.
