Stone Temple Pilots – Core [Throwback Thursday]

Posted March 11th, 2010 · Artists: Stone Temple Pilots

Well in honor of STP playing SXSW next week, I thought we would take a gander back at an album I rocked way back in high school, the Stone Temple Pilots’ Core. Not really sure how well this one holds up to the test of time, it still has some songs that rock a little bit, but this album is unmistakeably from the ‘grunge’ era and makes no bones about it, and in that sense maybe it is a little dated sounding. I think their follow up record was probably more popular and maybe better regarded at this point, but this is straight ahead grung-y Marshall’ed out guitars and gruff vocals 101. Regardless, I’m sure that they will have a solid showing at SXSW, and were I to be in Austin it would be worth exploring purely for the curiosity factor. I would also like to go ahead and nominate this Sunday as “Naked Sunday”, that is all.
