Check out the new STP record at Billboard.com.

As a fan of all of their previous albums, I'm as yet unsure how I feel about this one. Going to see if it will grow on me, since they have a habit of challenging expectations with each release. Definitely some great guitar solos and a really punchy mix. Obvious Slate drums are obvious, etc...

I liked them, but they only reason they are back together is because that fucking junkie Scott was thrown out of Velvet Revolver, it just seems a shame that a pretty good band like STP are stuck with a waster like him

sounds pretty lame compared to the classic stuff.

sounds more like a hot hot heat album.

Yeah I'm having a hard time seeing it any other way. This album is really poppy and simplistic when compared to their epic classic tracks like "Loungefly" and "Sin."

As a long-time STP fan, this is a disappointing first listen. It's definitely got a pop rock vibe, almost a la Collective Soul, but it just doesn't click with me. None of the tracks are very memorable and they're lacking that signature STP sound. And I'm not digging the twangy single-coil guitars on a few of the songs. I prefer the heavy sounds of Core, Purple, and even No. 4.
