Album Notes Stone Temple Pilots: Weiland (vocals); Dean DeLeo (guitar); Robert DeLeo (bass); Eric Kretz (drums). Recorded at Rumbo Recorders, Los Angeles. "Plush" won the 1994 Grammy Award for "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal." The group that put San Diego on the musical map, Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album with no fanfare, and caught the public's eye only after touring for a year. CORE's sound--relentlessly pounding guitars, a heavy bottom and a singer whose vocal style bled with some unseen pain--played perfectly into the swell of grunge that had been building up in the mainstream for two years before its release. Topically, CORE went beyond the the usual sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll fare associated with hard rock. The drill instructor intro that singer Weiland chants off at the beginning of "Dead & Bloated" is a disgusted swipe at the rivers of apathy coursing through America. The enigmatic singer often donned a dress on stage to drive home the point of the anti-rape song "Sex Type Thing." Guitarist Dean DeLeo's playing grinds and swirls, pulling the listener to and fro on a crunchy carpet of distortion. Brother Robert's bass rumbles and pops thunderously, as drummer Eric Kretz matches him with unbridled ferocity. STP click spectacularly on the consecutive tandem of "Sin" and "Naked Sunday," taking on the political hot-button of religion. "Sin" addresses the danger of blind piety that leaves no room for compassion, while "Naked Sunday" deals with the quest for God and the uncertainty of such spiritual pursuits. Pretty heavy stuff for a group that should be more concerned with living the stereotypical rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Editorial Reviews CMJ (01/06/2003) | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  77lopez77 Excellent album as was their 2nd and 3rd albums. I love the hard-rocking style of this band even though I'm a old hippie from the 60's. If you have a Kenny G., Michael Bolton, or Mariah Carey album then please hit your ESCAPE button now! Review ID: 10000000007585100 Was this review helpful?

Report this review AWESOME!!!Review created: 04/04/08 by: This is Stone Temple Pilots first CD, and in my opinion one of their best. Although their second effort, Purple is equally stellar, CORE is one hard rocking heartfelt collection of hard driving tunes not to mention forever classic ballads. ("Plush", and the very end of "Sin.") I don't know WHAT they were thinking w/the drivel on the horrendous "Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop" but they came back in a big way w/No. 4. Almost back to full circle to the wondrous Core. This is a must own for every STP/S. Weiland fan......... Review ID: 10000000006488561 Was this review helpful? Report this review Hello, we are STPReview created: 03/23/08 by: What a debut, rightly launched them immediately. Easily one of the best albums of the decade(along with Dirt). Just buy it. Review ID: 10000000006310071 Was this review helpful? Report this review Great Alternative/Grunge AlbumReview created: 11/15/07 by: This is perfection when it comes to Grunge. For alternative, I've heard better, but this is still great. In other words, if you like one of the two or both, you will love this album. Never gets old. A solid headbanger, but not so hard it's death metal. There is no yelling nor screaming like your traditional hard rock or metal. Went so perfect. Every track (except for pointless instrumental riff No Memory) is great. 8x platinum stands for itself. Go ahead and buy it if you like Gruge or Alternative. You will not be disapointed.
