Product Details
Released in 1992, Core arrived at the peak of grunge's cultural moment, yet STP always felt like something slightly apart from the Seattle scene, a Southern California band channeling a rawer, bluesier darkness. Scott Weiland's voice carried a wounded intensity that held up across decades of heavy rotation, and this 2017 remaster brings that low-end weight and grit back to wax the way it was meant to be heard.
Vinyl LP pressing. When an album peaks at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, amasses a large fanbase worldwide, and quickly becomes certified platinum, it's clear it's something worth plugging into. With their debut album, the socially-charged Core, San Diego's Stone Temple Pilots deliver a hard-hitting grunge record that delves into dark lyrical territory, driven home by Scott Weiland's powerful vocals. With hit singles "Plush" and "Sex Type Thing" going on to become definitive songs of the 1990s, the band garnered a great deal of media attention - at times incredibly negative - for their whirlwind success. Rolling Stone readers named the group the Best New Band of 1992, whereas it's staff christened them the Worst New Band. Despite their polarizing reception, the Pilots would secure a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Plush" and Core would be certified eight times platinum in 2001. Songwriting, you could say, is the band's definite core.
