The debut STP album Core is an impressive monster rock album. Several hits and not surprisingly there best selling record. At first this record wasn't accepted in praise and critics kept on saying they were nothing but rip offs of Seattle bands and Rolling Stone Magazine has always dissed anything grunge and dismissed anything particularly good while they said Silverchair was the next Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots were the worst band by Rolling Stone critics in an 1994 issue. I once read online that Scott Weiland had only been sober for only one album and that was Core. If I can rant against the STP-Pearl Jam comparison, I believe Stone Temple Pilots is the better band because of consistency; Pearl Jam had Ten and Vs as there best but, they are not better than Core and STP's second album Purple. I believe if Core came out a year earlier it would have sold more than Ten. I bank that! Core sounds nothing like Ten to begin with. Songs to check out "Sex Type Thing", "Creep" and "Crackerman".
