KROQ to premiere new album

[Six7Six7]

There not bad just getting into them though.

Bro, you need to give the new STP week some time before you flip out on it.  Its a grower, you have to give it time.

There are 4 songs i like. i am sure i will love them by week's end. But some of the others i just don't feel will ever reach me. I felt the same about half of SLDD and 1/3 of No.4.

So it's all good. I am happy to have some new STP to dig on. I am just waiting for that epic album where stupid radio DJs have to turn off the Godsmack and Nickelback for awhile and admit STP is kicking their ass. I am not quite sure this is the album that is going to do that.

[DeadAndNotForSale]

Core is my favorite album, because it really turned me on to STP. And I love all their other stuff just as much.  The only album that I really don't like is Thank You because I would of put some different tunes on there.  Just because someone prefers Core does not make them an untrue fan.

I just mean when it comes to music fans, i would trust the opinion of someone who picked "Adhesive" as their favorite song over someone who chose "Dead and Bloated"

Because the majority of STP's career, they have sounded nothing like Core.

We're on topic. We're talking about the new album right?

[Fear 2 Stop]

Cinnamon just might be my favorite track I've heard so far. That's it...I'm not listening to anymore until Tuesday!

The laugh that Scott has at the end of the interview is priceless. I am so happy right now. During the whole interview Scott looked and sounded better than I can remember in a long, long time. I haven't ever seen him laugh the way he does at the end of this interview. He actually seems VERY happy. I hope these guys stay together for another 10 years or more. I really believe they are extremely good for Scott. I really am happy for them. They all look like they truly enjoy being around each other again.

Listening to the whole album right now.

thoughts:

1. Scott's hooks are WAAAAAY repetitive. repeating the same line over and over again is ok every once in a while, but not on EVERY DAMN SONG. 8 songs deep and not a single song has gone by that doesn't have some major repetition going on.

2. Yes Scott, Drugs and Mary. Got it. Got it about 14 years ago in fact. Can we move on now? Maybe a nice trip outside of LA for something other than music would be a good idea. Ask yourself this next time: "is this song about Drugs, Mary, my kids, Courtney Love, or Rock n Roll?".....if so, don't record it.

3. Whoever mixed this apparently did not get the memo that STP is not a pop band. It's polished to a high gloss. Where's the dirty tones?

4. Why is every damn song 3 minutes long? Hey STP, remember when you guys wrote long experimental songs with lots of tempo changes? Why has it all been downhill since Days of the Week? No one even liked that song. We don't need 20 more.

5. Scott, i am blaming you for this one. The music is solid. It just wasn't mixed well and you crapped it up with your treading-previous-ground-again lyrics and lame repetitive hooks.

I was excited for the album. i love the band. i was so happy to hear they were coming back. But.... seriously what is this? Where is Atlanta? Where is Silvergun Superman? where's Trippin' on a Hole... ? Where is anything that resembles something they did that didn't sound like Days of the Week?

Blah. See you next round i guess.

I respect your opinion.  I had some of these exact thoughts myself.  While I recognize that they are always evolving, changing their sound, etc., I think you've made a few valid points here.

I'm not going to jump down your throat just because you're not a huge fan of the record.  I like the record simply because it's STP.  Not sure if I would like this album if it was by another band.  If anyone gets my drift there, your favorite artists tend to suck you into anything they produce.

Having said that, I'll always close out an unfavorable post by reiterating my love for this band, and my continued enjoyment for their existence.  It's simply a pleasure that they're still making music.

I feel ya on the Scott/repetition thing -- I cringe a bit every time I hear him repeat lyrics or motifs (especially the love thing) -- but on the flipside, Scott seems to write lyrics according to the "sounds" or tones he wants for the melody and more often than not the melody hits on this album, so he gets a pass. Although I fucking hate Bagman and HD and those are completely on him.

I mean...  You still have the old records.  They're right there to get all those songs you mentioned.  Now we have something different to listen to.  When we get sick of it, we go old.  When sick of that, we go new...
