Title: The two singles I love do not represent the full album
Review: STP's two singles that received massive rotation on radio stations ("Trippin' on a Hole" and "Big Bang Baby") are the only reasons to purchase Tiny Music. I bought this album expecting the rest of the songs having the same guy singing in a unique, scratchy yet high-on-the-octave-scale voice (as the two singles would have you believe), but what I got from the rest of the tracks was what could best be described as very Vedder-derivative. As it turns out, it was just a cool vocal effect that was applied to Weiland's voice on only those two tracks. What a rip off. If you heard those two awesome singles, and had Purple in your possession, you wouldn't believe it was the same Stone Temple Pilots. Everything but the two songs I'm very fond of went by in the blandest, stereotypical mid-90's rock blur imaginable. I give Tiny Music two stars for two great songs, but guys, stop the false-advertising!
