Second Battle in the War on Grunge by Taylor Newark,Ohio,USA
Reviewed on February 14th, 2004
With Purple, Stone Temple Pilots proved that they were not a flash in the pan, one hit wonder about to crash notwithstanding the success of "Sex Type Thing," "Creep," and "Wicked Garden." Success was not going to overwhelm this machine. It seems that the boys had listened to Jimmy Page's reasoning for "lots of light and shade" on many fo the Zeppelin songs and albums. Every other song either had shades of acoustic material or is entirely soft and gentle somewhere. STP did not lose any intensity by dialing down the distortion. Even the Vegas-style showtune is interesting. Fans of Core will not be disappointed and neither will fans of Led Zeppelin 3.More "Purple" reviews:
