While Stone Temple Pilots may not be sincere alternative rockers, they do know how to write a killer riff, which is why their debut album sold nearly as many copies as Pearl Jam. Admittedly, STP can sound like either Pearl Jam ("Plush"), Alice in Chains ("Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden"), Soundgarden ("Dead & Bloated"), or even R.E.M. ("Creep"), depending on their mood, but their hooks are undeniably catchy, making the songs much better than they have any right to be. In fact, Stone Temple Pilots appear to be the hard ...

While Stone Temple Pilots may not be sincere alternative rockers, they do know how to write a killer riff, which is why their debut album sold nearly as many copies as Pearl Jam. Admittedly, STP can sound like either Pearl Jam ("Plush"), Alice in Chains ("Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden"), Soundgarden ("Dead & Bloated"), or even R.E.M. ("Creep"), depending on their mood, but their hooks are undeniably catchy, making the songs much better than they have any right to be. In fact, Stone Temple Pilots appear to be the hard rock arena act for the 1990s, and that's a compliment. [Stone Temple Pilots celebrated the 25th anniversary of Core by releasing a Super Deluxe Edition of their debut containing three additional CDs and a DVD. The first bonus disc rounds up nine demos -- usually rough and recognizable versions of what made the album, plus the unreleased "Only Dying" -- adding remastered versions of B-sides, including the acoustic version of "Plush," which turned into a radio hit, and a "Swing Type Version" of "Sex Type Thing." The third disc is devoted to live performances from 1993 -- a set at Castaic Lake Natural Amphitheater from July, a set from the Reading Festival a month later -- and it's notable how much muscle and swagger the band had gained since the recording of Core; they're starting to sound like themselves, albeit in a heavier version. Finally, there's a disc that contains the very good MTV Unplugged performance from November 1993. A fifth disc, a DVD containing 5.1 mixes of the album and the videos for the album's four singles, rounds up this plush package.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
