    1 Press Play 77 Instrumental album opener, using guitar harmonics. 2 Pop's Love Suicide 84 Raw rock with catchy hooks. 3 Tumble in the Rough 78 Another good STP song, midtempo and raw. 4 Big Bang Baby 86 More raw rock with perfect catchy hooks. 5 Lad...y Picture Show 83 A Classic, very Beatles circa Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Penny Lane era. 6 And So I Know 68 Neat Beach Boys-style ballad with high surf-harmonies and jazzy guitar solo. 7 Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart 91 Perfect rock song - great chorus and solo. 8 Art School Girl 85 Another great monster rock song with riffs, catchy melody and drumming thunder in the chorus (though it's more like the Police versus Joe Jackson in the verse). Great song, with a floaty bridge section, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys-style. 9 Adhesive 66 Average by STP standards, but good. 10 Ride the Cliche 79 A rock song that parodies itself, but is very cleverly done. 11 Daisy 52 An instrumental, done on guitar. 12 Seven Caged Tigers 78 The album closer is again a great melody and feel, to the same effect as the Urge Overkill "Saturation" album. "Feel-good" rock music, great twin guitars and hooks. Average song score for the album: 77 / 100 Read more Less

    Purple established that Stone Temple Pilots were not one-album wonders but Tiny Music ... Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop illustrates that the band isn't content with resting on the laurels. Without abandoning their trademark hard rock, STP have added a new array of sounds that adds depth to their immediately accessible hooks. Dean DeLeo layers his guitar tracks to create distinctive, multi-textured sounds that make his riffs more powerful. Though there are hints of grunge scattered throughout the album, what makes Tiny Music impressive is how the band brings in elements of psychedelia, trancy shoegaze, jangle pop, and other forms of melodic alternative guitar-pop. By accentuating their pop tendencies in both their riffs and melodies, they are able to slip in a number of creative arrangements which manage to expand their musical repertoire significantly. Although the lyrics are nearly as ambitious as the music, they simply don't have the same weight. But with a band like Stone Temple ...Pilots, the music is what matters and Tiny Music showcases the band at their most tuneful and creative. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Stone Temple Pilots

Stone Temple Pilots was able to make alternative rock into stadium rock; naturally, they became the most critically despised band of their era. Accused by many critics of being nothing more than rip-off artists, pilfering from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the band nevertheless became major stars in 1993. And the influences of those bands are apparent in ... Read more
