Negative Positive
Title: Failed, misjudged, desperate attempt at profoundness
Review: I don't believe stp will ever live up to the standard core fanatics demand, but on this CD they barely manage a coherent standard at all. 'Hello, its late' takes what I can only call an 'orchestral riff' and repeats it for 11 minutes. 'days of the week' is catchy and genuinely swings, but is undercut by offensively dull 2-minute long drum solos. Half of these tunes make no impact whatsoever, except to suggest weiland wants to be a singer in a garage punk band. stp, we don't want you to be Johnny Rotten, we want frilly multi-instrument emotionally direct concise tunes. (Like what you did before this mess') I'm always a fan, but this CD is a career-killer. Only 'Long way Home' works well, and you can get that on the far better 'internet'.
Is the review positive or negative?
