Recorded at the Bomb Shelter Studios; Homefry Studio; Lavish Studios.

After a five-year hiatus during which vocalist Scott Weiland launched a new career with ex-Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash in Velvet Revolver, one of the grunge era's biggest acts returns with their sixth studio album. Produced by the band'sprincipal songwriters, brothers Robert & Dean DeLeo, with the aid of Don Was (Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop), the album has a mellower, more psychedelic feel than ever before, while Weiland, free of the substance addiction that plagued him for years, forgoes the introspection of yore for a more lyrical storytelling style inspired by Dylan and Cohen.

Atlantic recording group Stone Temple Pilots has announced the upcoming release of their hugely anticipated new album. 'STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' - the Grammy Award-winning band's first all-new collection in close to a decade - will arrive in stores and at all online retailers around the globe on May 25th. Produced by Stone Temple Pilots and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance), 'STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' sees one of rock's biggest bands continuing to explore their enduring approach to music - melding big rock riffs, classic pop hooks, and the restless experimentalism of glam, punk, and psychedelia. Stone Temple Pilots - Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz - will introduce fans to the new album at their first live date of 2010, performing as part of the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas. The show - slated for Thursday, March 18th at the famed Austin Music Hall, and presented by StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace - kicks off an extensive worldwide 2010 schedule for STP, with U.S. dates, radio festivals, and a European tour slated to follow. A full-scale North American summer tour will also be announced in the coming weeks.

Band member Eric Kretz has stated: "We definitely are in a really good place right now as a band and really want to spread some peace and love across the world as much we can. We're going to do it through music and the celebration of rock and roll."

Stone Temple Pilots' 2010 reunion album isn't a song deep before Scott Weiland alludes to his checkered chemical past by singing "even when we used to take drugs," which may not be a confession - the singer took great pains to claim he was writing in third person for this, the sixth STP album - but it's easy to read between the lines, particularly when the song title invites you to do so. Despite Weiland's knack for a fractured phrase, the kind that jams a verse or chorus into the brain, words have never been the reason to listen to Stone Temple Pilots, it's always been their candied crunch, the way the filter `70s sleaze through psychedelic swirls. The brothers DeLeo are responsible for the former, and Weiland for the latter and, like it or not - the decade-long absence suggests that they surely don't - they need each other, neither team sounding quite as good in their solo projects as they do working together. So, Stone Temple Pilots finds STP picking up where they left off, retaining the harder, diamond edge of Shangri-La Dee Da, balancing swagger and melody with an expert professional touch, offering everything as expected, except for the key ingredient of Brendan O'Brien, who produced every one of STP's albums before this. In his stead come the DeLeo brothers, who somehow strip the group's sound to the core while still managing to pile on six-string overdubs; it's an STP record that's de-frilled and guitar heavy, its bluntness extending to a direct quotation of "Dancing Days" in the guitar solo for "Hickory Dichotomy" and an open homage to prime Aerosmith on "Huckleberry Crumble." Perhaps with another set of ears in the studio these allusions would be refined, and perhaps the entire set would be sharpened, anchored by a couple of surging singles, and possessing some sense of shifting texture, but as it stands, Stone Temple Pilots is a good solid record and an inadvertent testament to the fact that these guys need each other.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



Soundgarden und Alice In Chains sind reaktiviert, Pearl Jam waren nie weg vom Fenster und Nirvana sind es für immer. Halt, fehlt da nicht noch eine Band? Die Antwort lautet: Ja und Nein. Lange ist es her. Neun Jahre, um genau zu sein. "Shangri-La Dee Da" hieß das letzte Album-Lebenszeichen der San Diegoer Antwort auf den Seattle-Sound und war ein psychedelisch angehauchtes Post-Grunge-Pastiche. Danach suchte Sänger Scott Weiland sein Seelenheil in einer zum Scheitern verurteilten neuen Formation namens Velvet Revolver und wie noch zuletzt einem zweiten Soloalbum, während seine ehemaligen Mitstreiter, das Brüderpaar DeLeo sowie Schlagzeuger Eric Kretz gemeinsame und getrennte musikalische Wege verfolgten.

Doch nun sind sie nach ausufernder US-Tour und neuem gleichnamigen Album unter jenen drei Worten wieder vereint, die einst für millionenschwere Albumabsätze standen. Das Ergebnis ist eine gelungene, entspannte und gar nicht nach Scheinwerfer-Aufmerksamkeit, Drogen-Skandalen oder dicken Hosen schreiende Wohlfühl-Platte, die stärker als je zuvor die wahren musikalischen Vorlieben und Vorbilder der Band bemüht. Klassischer Rock mit fluffigen Powerpop-Zusatz könnte man es nennen. Zumindest scheint die West-Coast-Rock-Sonne auf diesem Album ziemlich stark durch. Und auch am großen pophistorischen "B" kommt man dieser Tage nicht vorbei. "Natürlich ist jeder Vergleich mit den Beatles als Kompliment zu verstehen. Auch wenn ich persönlich jetzt nicht so viel Beatles in den Songs höre", winkt Gitarrist Dean DeLeo ab, " 'Dare If You Dare' hat vielleicht so einen gewissen Beatles-Touch. Zumindest, wie wir den Song letztendlich aufgenommen haben. Ich hatte zunächst eher so einen Mountain-Sound im Ohr, aber der Ansatz hat sich durch den Einsatz des Wurlitzer Electic Pianos wieder etwas geändert." Okay, also schon ein bisschen Beatles.

Dazu Spät-Sechziger Hard Rock und ein klassischer Klimperkasten - die Pilots steuern dieser Tage ganz klar eher in Richtung Classic Rock als in die Alternative Zukunft. "Ich werde dieses Jahr 49 Jahre alt und die Siebziger werden immer mein Rock-Bezugsrahmen sein", weiß DeLeo um seine schlechten Karten in Sachen trendbildender jugendlicher Hipster. Ich bin froh in diesem Zeitalter groß geworden zu sein, denn diese Zeit war echt eine sehr gute Ära für die Musik. Selbst die Popmusik in dieser Zeit hatte richtig Substanz. Ich hab einen weiteren Bruder, der jetzt um die 60 ist und ich erinnere mich noch genau daran, wie ich als kleines Junge von sieben Jahren Hendrix aus seinem Zimmer heulen hörte. Meine Schwester spielte immer die Doors und Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young. Und meine Mutter war großer Andy Williams- und The Mamas And The Papas-Fan. Es gab also immer viel Musik in unserem Haus. Du konntest alle musikalischen Facetten hören, abhängig davon, in welchem Teil des Hauses du dich gerade befindest. Von Burt Bacharach bis Zeppelin. So bin ich aufgewachsen." Das hört man. Und seien wir mal ehrlich: Richtig Grunge waren die Stone Temple Pilots ja noch nie.
