Music reviews of No. 4
Music Review: Boy, do I miss STP!
Rating: 5 Stars
This album seems to get the least amount of praise of the first 4 albums. It's been a while since anyone has reviewed this, but I haven't changed my thinking since I first heard it in 1999. The first 4 songs starting with "Down" thru "Church on Tuesday" rip like nothing else from STP. These tunes are so downright heavy you hope the speakers just blow out of the cabs. And then..."Sour Girl", STP's finest moment. Light, breezy, incredible vocal performance, almost the perfect pop song. There are fine moments beyond the first 5, but these songs are worth the price of admission. If you was listening to "Atlanta" from another room, you would swear Jim Morrison was in the house. I remember STP getting unjustly dumped on by the critics when Core came out. When Purple was released, I think it is fair to say the joke was on the critics. I saw these guys in concert in '96, and though Weiland might have had issues at the time, they still cranked out the best performance I have ever seen. I am hoping for a new album from them, the 2008 tour was encouraging. There really hasn't been anything as solid since except maybe the Foo Fighters, speaking from a Gen X perpective who grew up on Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and later on-Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and STP. All of STP's albums are spectacular, but this one jumps out at me as their finest.
Description of No. 4
This fine band's powerful music has been often overshadowed by singer Scott Weiland's well-documented drug and legal troubles. Not to mention that STP's 1992 debut, Core, was dismissed by critics as "Seattle lite." Nonetheless, STP has managed to make four noteworthy albums, No. 4 being the latest in their solid and cohesive body of work. No. 4 is not groundbreaking, but the quartet's aggressive, dynamic hard rock is emotion-packed and timeless. Not as hit-heavy as its predecessors, No. 4 is nevertheless strong and diverse. On the gentler side, there's the lilting '60s-influenced "I Got You" and "Atlanta," which is almost Doors-like in its dreamy mood. Heavier fare includes the midtempo heavy riffing opener "Down" and the winning but not-so-subtly titled "Sex and Violence," which matches an aggressive, linear feel with a cool punk vibe. At 42 minutes, the only thing wrong with No. 4 is that there's not enough of it. --Katherine TurmanGeneral CDs
