Founders Dean DeLeo (guitar), Robert DeLeo (bass, backing vocals), and Eric Kretz (drums) soldiered on, recruiting Jeff Gutt as the new vocalist. The B-Side is “Waitin’ for the Man / Heroin (Live)”.One of the most successful bands to ever come out of the Grunge era in the early 1990s was Stone Temple Pilots, alongside the usual heavyweights- Nirvana (“Come as You Are”) Pearl Jam (“Even Flow”), Alice in Chains (“Man in the Box”), and Soundgarden (“Outshined”).įormed in 1989, in San Diego, California, United States, Stone Temple Pilots shot to popularity as soon as Core was released in 1992-their best-selling debut record, powered by their most-recognizable, chart-topping single “Plush.” Five albums more ensued-1994’s Purple to 2010’s self-titled-still with their original vocalist, the late Scott Weiland, who died in 2015. It is the 7” Promo Single for “I Want You To Want Me (Alternate Version)” to promote their box set Sex, America, Cheap Trick.
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS PERDIDA SERIES
We have a bonus edition to the Cheap Trick Collection Series on. The moments of the flute and sax are my favorite parts as at least it gave me something new to hear.

It at least attempted to change things up, but with the overall tempo not really changing, it was never able to capitalize on that improvement. There were moments that I found intriguing with the adding of flutes on a couple song and even an alto saxophone. He is on the album, but that talent is pretty much put on the back burner and wasted. Poor Eric couldn’t pound away at the skins. What did he think when the band said…”you know what, let’s do an acoustic album”. There is no denying the talents of Dean and Robert DeLeo. That isn’t to say the playing wasn’t any good. And if you are listening to this on the way to work at 6:30 in the morning, this is not the album you want to play to wake you up. There is a song with a little Spanish flare, “Perdida”, and “Miles Away” stands out with some European style. I would have thought that although it is all acoustic, there would be some variety…there is not! They are all pretty much slow ballad type songs. The album ended up with the feeling that is all really just one, very long song. Most of the time, Jeff’s vocals lacked character (thanks J.) and was lacking any kind of charisma or true passion. It was quite boring at times and very uninspiring. I found the album to become a lot of the same. It starts off quite beautifully with the song “Fare the Well” which is one of Jeff’s best vocal performances he has done with the band. But don’t worry, that doesn’t impact my review as I am brutally honest with my opinions on the album…good or bad. Now of course I am biased as my brother-in-law, Ryan Williams, is the engineer and mixer on the album. The recording and mixing of the album couldn’t sound better. Is the album them trying to find their way or is it a statement that they have no idea what to do anymore and it is a cry for help? So many questions.īefore I talk about the music, production on the album is wonderful. Is the band lost in who they are as group or our they spiritually lost. Take that word with the image of the cover, which I find to be spectacular, and everything starts to fall in to place.

The album title “Perdida” struck me as odd until I found out what it meant. I still don’t know why, but it is an interesting choice. I was curious as to the reason why with only one album under their belts with Jeff Gutt as the singer would they change course so dramatically. When I heard several months back that this was all acoustic, I had my reservations. This is either a bold step in a new direction or a complete and utter misstep in a stellar career. ‘Perdida’ is quite a departure for the band as the album is an all acoustic affair of 10 new songs. Stone Temple Pilots release their first album of the new decade which is their eighth album overall and second with new lead singer Jeff Gutt.
