Stone Temple Pilots – Core LP (180g) For Discount

Vinyl LP pressing. When an album peaks at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, amasses a large fanbase worldwide, and quickly becomes certified platinum, it s clear it s something worth plugging into. With their debut album, the socially-charged Core, San Diego s Stone Temple Pilots deliver a hard-hitting grunge record that delves into dark lyrical territory, driven home by Scott Weiland s powerful vocals. With hit singles Plush and Sex Type Thing going on to become definitive songs of the 1990s, the band garnered a great deal of media attention – at times incredibly negative – for their whirlwind success. Rolling Stone readers named the group the Best New Band of 1992, whereas it s staff christened them the Worst New Band. Despite their polarizing reception, the Pilots would secure a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for Plush and Core would be certified eight times platinum in 2001. Songwriting, you could say, is the band s definite core.
