stone temple pilots - no. 4

[NAD]

i don't know how many stp fans are on this forum, but even if you aren't you should check out this album. it rocks harder than my balls on an uphill morning jog, and has a great bleak and dark sound that makes it pretty mystical.

not my favorite by them, but definitely one of two essentials from their catalog(ue).

 

[Sadguru]

Awesome. Will check it out.

 

[Furious B]

NAD, you're cool and all, but STP has to be the shittiest band in existence. Could they be anymore bland and cliché sounding? Fuck STP.

Sorry.

 

[NAD]

you don't have to apologize.

how are they bland and cliche though? i'm wondering what you've heard, i once had a friend that hated them and i finally told him to shut the fuck up and listen to an actual album, now he digs them.

 

[Chromatose]

it's decent, and way better than the one before it (which I hardly like at all)

Their first album just freakin' rules... the second one not quite as much, but still has some great tunes

if I gave no.4 more of a chance, I have a feeling it would fall somewhere around the level of Purple.. but.. mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Papa Josh]

Got em all. Don't like them equally, but have them all, a great rock band from that period.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I have nil interest in these fucks aside from the nostalgia of them being played on KROQ every hour as a kid. (Nad remember when that station actually played a decent tune every now and then?)

Anyhow, fucks dumped the druggy once and for all, and are rolling with the Linkin Park Chester Cheetoh chap. He doesnt sound half bad singing the mediocre songs.

 

[NAD]

This album is still a solid 8/10 but I'd likely give Purple 9/10. I don't really listen to either one anymore, but when I do? Good times.

Linkin Park are the reason I stopped listening to radio. I have zero interest in hearing anything any one of those idiots are a part of.

KROQ sucked. You're right that every great once in awhile something cool would happen, but it was wading in a sea of shite really.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Well they used to play Tool, RHCP, Metallica, Soundgarden, Faggot Alt shit like STP that was listenable in passing, etc. I haven't turned that station on in 5 yrs, they were playing something "ironic" which received a final flip o' the dial. No no, it wasn't Alanis Morisette, I can actually listen to her shit.

Only radio stations I listen to are 91.5 (Classical) and KFI (Semi-Conservative Talk).

 

[NAD]

About once every 3 years I'll turn the radio on. It doesn't take long for me to recoil in horror. The last time was a few months ago, making a gas run in the wife's car and she had X103.9 on (IE's version of KROQ really). I swear to fuck every band on there sounded like a pop version of Sólstafir. I mean I know I'm out of touch with the kids these days, but that really caught me off guard. Weird.

The time before that was probably 5 years ago, in the wife's old car. I think I had already listened to the single CD we had in there at the time twice in a row (possibly Ulver's Perdition City), so I figured what the hell, why not try some alt/rock radio? All I heard was the biggest piece of pussified shit I had ever been subject to, so bad that I can still hear the off-key drug-induced caterwauling to this day. I didn't know who it was at the time, but I did vow that they should be killed.



I don't recommend listening to this tripe, the only reason I am doing so right now is to remind myself of how TERRIBLE it is, and I already have a headache, so it won't make my face any worse. Playing now. Holy fuck. If there is a worse song than this, I have yet to hear it. EDIT: I turned the radio on at about the 2:30 mark on this terrifying thing. I couldn't stop at that point. I needed a reminder of all that is awful in this world. And here I am again, torturing myself a second time...

 

[Reign in Acai]

Weezer is god damn awful. That song about buying a sweater is nice, if your name is Trylakos.

I recall liking Silverchair, wonder what they "actually" sound like today. After 10 mins of STP I dont have the energy for any of this garbage. Speaking of garbage, whats this Secht shit? Sounds like really bad Lugubrum.

 

[NAD]

I think Silverchair got all artsy and weird.

My second band used to cover Pure Massacre.

Holy hell that was 18 years ago.

Listen to this instead of Secht:

[Reign in Acai]

Dude is nodding the fuck out.

 

[MFJ]

damn that's depressing, he sounds like EXTRA shit. seems like a guy who is about to be pretty dead

 

[dorian gray]

This thread is funny.
Also....Weezer....ugh. If there were ever a band for which I shake my head in wonderment at how they made a career out of music, it would be Weezer.

 

[NAD]

My only regret in life is that one year when I stopped using the shift key.

 

[dorian gray]

damn that's depressing, he sounds like EXTRA shit. seems like a guy who is about to be pretty dead

Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

[J.]

this band was always terrible. sounds like a bad soundgarden, when soundgarden went shit. but i liked down on the upside, but not stp

yeah

 

[Reign in Acai]

Kids, don't do drugs.

 

[dorian gray]

I have the stp greatest hits album on iTunes. Not sure why because whenever a song pops up during a shuffle I skip to the next song. Aside from Interstate Love Song I can't tolerate anything from them.
