It’s what rock sounds to someone who makes too much of a habit of listening to the modern rock station. But, besides that, it sounds uninspired, undistinctive and reaches a Buckcherry level of cringe. Like someone destined for contest show glory. Naturally, given Weiland and Bennington’s fame, his performance is the focal point of the recording. Hopefully new singer Jeff Gutt will have time to prove himself. It feels like the work of a modern-day producer trying to demonstrate just what the grunge sound was. This is the scene where the protagonists find themselves in a club and undistinctive 90’s music is being played. It’s filled with familiar tricks found on many of the band’s most famous songs.Only that it sounds like the soundtrack to a B-movie set in the ’90’s. Meadow sounds, unsurprisingly, like the band trying to guess what the public would want of them. At least for a mainstream audience anxious for every new release. In Weiland the group had a singer that was confident and dedicated to presenting himself as being just a tad weird. But the finished product was often quirky. Sure, their sound was as familiar to rock fans like as the likes of Bad Company or Pearl Jam. At their best, STP managed to bridge the gap between arena rock and art rock. Their new single Meadow has been offered to a public questioning where the band can go now. They then confirmed their plan to continue. STP paid their final respects for the two losses. Then, earlier this year, Weiland’s replacement Chester Bennington, passed away in tragic circumstances. Any possibility of a reunion was lost forever. STP has had to deal with the death of lead singer Scott Weiland.
Big rock groups rarely disappear anymore. And not a lot of security.īig brands do not disappear anymore.
But before they could really reap the rewards, the band imploded. Their hits became the sound of new classic rock in the United States. Their arena rock sound they introduced in the ’90’s made them stars. The three talented surviving members of Stone Temple Pilots have it rough. The old tricks fall flat this time around. Stone Temple Pilots’ return sees the band trying to mimic the sound that made them successful.
