What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS "core" cd,1993.

debut set from STP....
these guys have always been slagged off in the music media for being Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam rip-off's...yeh, sure they have a similar sound in places but you could pretty well say that most artists sound like someone else if you want to be pedantic about it....
i like this album, its raw, its ragged and its edgy and heavy, love the vocalist's vocals, almost as powerful as Dave Grohl's....
i have another of their albums....it has a star adorning the cover...called "4" i think, i dont like that one much...
best track?...even though there are three love tracks here, two are neck and neck as they pass the winning post, i cant really split the heavy opening track called 'dead and bloated' from the excellent grunge-ballad "creep" further down the list of tracks, i suggest you listen to both to make up your own mind...
