Stone Temple Pilots - No. 4 (1999)

STP's 4th was there closest thing to matching the hard rockness of there debut album Core. Unfortunately, Scott Weiland had gotten arrested around time of the release. It can be said that this album has a little bit of everything the earlier albums had but, I think ultimately they found there sound after Tiny Music and that's why this one is the only Pilots' album that slightly resembles the effectiveness that made the other albums strong and groundbreaking. Yes, groundbreaking...they didn't sound like any grunge band ever and I'll debate that they fall into the category hard rock where they just wrote songs that were in a good time to rip off the grunge style which is bullshit. I think they sound more like Led Zeppelin than anyone. Sounds to check out "Down", "Heaven & Hotrods" and "MC5".

1. "Down" 3:49
2. "Heaven & Hot Rods" 3:26
3. "Pruno" 3:14
4. "Church on Tuesday" 3:00
5. "Sour Girl" 4:17
6. "No Way Out" 4:19
7. "Sex & Violence" 2:54
8. "Glide" 5:00
9. "I Got You" 4:15
10. "MC5" 2:42
11. "Atlanta" 5:19
