Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though lambasted in some quarters as cynical clones of the then-vaunted "Seattle sound" (in particular, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam) STP's 1993 debut nonetheless found a considerable following for its potent crunch and sly hooks. While some tracks do seem to ape the era's grunge ethos a bit too slavishly, there's also a sense that perhaps Weiland and company were merely sharing some of the same influences as their contemporaries--and on standouts like the riff-savvy "Sex Type Thing" and the moody acoustics of "Creep", accomplishing it with a bit more ambitious range. Indeed, the radio anthem "Crush" belies a devotion to songcraft disdained by many of their peers, one that served as an effective bridge between the stadium rock of the '70s and '80s and the more introspective alt-rock just then coming into vogue--even if the album's triple-platinum sales showed just how ironic and misplaced the "alternative" label could ultimately be. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - The Core of greatness.Although it's been said many times, many ways... this album is fantastic. At the height of the grunge movement came a band that followed, created, and stepped away from the trend that was music at that time. The DeLeo brothers brought a gritty edge to the table, while Scott Weiland crooned and crowed his way into all of our hearts. Rating: - ClassicI am always loathe to place the classic label on anything, but I am going to pull it out here. For whatever reason, this is the only album from '90 to about 2003 that is in my play rotation. Most of my listening has evolved into 60's and 70's classics that predate myself. This is the one exception. An album full of great, rocking songs. "Sex Type Thing" is right up there with "Whole Lotta Love", "War Pigs", "Shoot to Thrill" and "Enter Sandman" as far as I am concerned for absolutely ROCKING songs. The rest of the album is filled with great, memorable tunes that have aged very well. Along with Led Zeppelin II, and Back In Black, my favorite hard albums!!! Rating: - This is Stone Temple Pilots LegacyDespite the fall of an era as Stone Temple Pilots split (prior to 2008) a generation of hard rock enthusiasts/ circa grunge sound of the early 90's came to an end. Albeit STP never wanted to or really liked the title of being "a grunge band" they were closely associated with the sound and as a major factor in contributing to its evolving scope. That is, they were boxed into a genre they didn't see as fit, and as the band grew with albums beyond "Core" the sub genre dwindled, to the gratification of many musical intellects and band members... the undercut was the worst haircut of all time. However, this album review is about their debut collective, named "core" hard, distorted and in general loud, this album provided power chord ...

Get this album! Rating: - (3.5 stars) Promising startI know what you're thinking, so I'll say it right now: these guys sound a lot like Pearl Jam. You know "Plush"? One of the two colossal hits on this album? A scorching riff party? I always thought it was by Pearl Jam! Now, I love the song. It's some of the best imitation Pearl Jam I've ever heard. That doesn't stop the fact that it's still just imitation, of course. It's not earth-shattering, but it rocks hard, and it has a brain, and it's catchy, and the guitars are fantastic. But don't worry, this isn't pure stealing from Pearl Jam. "Where the River Goes" is among the best faux-Zeppelin tracks I've ever heard; and "Creep" sounds like a mix of Alice in Chains (the vocals and trancelike atmosphere) and Nirvana (the dynamic shifts near the end). ...
