RMFN Notes:

"As much as people rave about STP's debut album 'Core', it doesn't really feel like a STP album. Purple, the band's follow up, features the band really coming into their own unique sound. This near perfect album features a fusion of genres and most importantly the signature STP quirks. Scott Weiland truly blossoms as a vocalist, ditching his grungey deep vocals for a more varied and soulful performance. This is arguably one of the best sophomore albums ever made and one of my personal favorites." - Chris
