content: Possibly the last album from Stone Temple Pilots, 2001's "Shangri-La Dee Da" is undoubtadly the worst album from the band. Most of the tracks featured here either sound too poppy or too generic, and the lyrics ("there's so much God can teach you...") are trite and uninspired. Scott Weiland's voice sounds great though; when this album was being recorded he was cleaned up (for a little while anyway) and his voice greatly benefited. As for the rest of the band though, I can't understand what happened to them here. "Coma" and "Hollywood Bitch" are standout tracks, but that's about it. All in all, if your a new fan of STP, check out "Core" or the brilliant "Purple" before listening to this disappointment.
