About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Purple established that Stone Temple Pilots were not one-album wonders but Tiny Music...Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop illustrates that the band aren't content with resting on their laurels. Without abandoning their trademark hard rock, STP have added a new array of sounds that lend depth to their immediately accessible hooks. Dean DeLeo layers his guitar tracks to create distinctive, multi-textured sounds that make his riffs more powerful. Though there are hints of grunge scattered throughout the album, what makes Tiny Music impressive is how the band brings in elements of psychedelia, trancy shoegaze, jangle pop, and other forms of melodic alternative guitar pop. By accentuating their pop tendencies in both their riffs and melodies, they are able to slip in a number of creative arrangements which manage to expand their musical repertoire significantly. Although the lyrics are nearly as ambitious as the music, they simply don't have the same weight. But with a band like Stone Temple Pilots, the music is what matters and Tiny Music showcases the band at their most tuneful and creative. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

March 25, 2007: I was listening this today. I love this album so much from start to finish that I can't even say... it's just a masterpiece. The melodies are nearly unmatched in the world of rock and the album grooves like no other, jamming and kicking back in all the right places. Some parts hard rock, some parts psychedelic and some songs even have a subtle hip-hop vibe to them. Also, it sounds just as good today as when it first came out... if you are even thinking about it, go ahead and buy this record!!

March 01, 2002: With so many CD's delivering one or two decent songs accompanying 12 losers, this album is an exception. Many people don't listen closely enough to catch just how unique this band is. Song structure of several songs in this album is much more sophisticated than most. This album captures much of what I call ''total quality''.
