Hit: 5 Stars
Stone Temple Pilots has long been one of my favorite bands. Vocalist Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz all combined their musical abilities which resulted in 5 full-length albums. Despite the fact that when they released their first CD "Core" they were written off as just another grunge band, a Pearl Jam/Nirvana wannabe, they proved their merit and have written some of my favorite songs. Despite being a fan of STP, my preferences differ from a lot of STP fans. I love 4 of their albums, I like 1 album, and I hate none. My favorite album is "No. 4" an album that usually ranks near the bottom of a STP fans list. My least favorite is "Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop." There is so much talent in this band. Vocalist/Lyricist Scott Weiland has such great range and a lot of his lyrics rank right up there with Jim Morrison, one of his heroes. Not all of his lyrics are great, but the great ones are some of the best. Lines like "I wanna drink from your naked fountain" and "You're the wonder in everything that's wonderful" still make me laugh and wish that I were that talented. The DeLeo Brothers (now in Army of Anyone, a band with a lot of potential if they last) were and are great at writing and playing music. They have a knack for writing catchy harmonies and hooks, some of them the most recognizable in rock. As for drummer Eric Kretz, the guy is nothing special compared to the likes of Neil Peart or John Bonham or David Grohl but he works great in this band. Now here's the bands Greatest Hits, entitled "Thank You." Rating a "Greatest Hits" CD is hard to do. Even the most casual fan of a band complains about the hits, because most Greatest Hits CD feature songs you've grown sick of and rarely feature the fan favorites. This CD is great as a compilation. Are there songs that should've been put on here? Yes...Some of my favorite STP songs are the most underrated ones. I would've liked to see songs like I Got You, Wonderful, Pretty Penny, and Dead & Bloated on here but you can't judge a CD by what you want but what it has. This has great songs on it, my favorites being "Big Bang Baby" and "Wicked Garden." All the songs are good, but the thing that really makes "Thank You" special is the DVD. STP never put out a DVD, so this is the only chance you're going to have to get Live Performances, Music Videos, and Bootleg Concert Footage. The DVD is superb and gives you a taste of how great Stone Temple Pilots were. This should be the deciding factor of buying the CD. Before I list the songs and what I think of them, I also want to note the cover of the CD. What appears to be just a hand holding a flower over a field of flowers (which makes a great cover by itself) opens up to be one of my favorite covers of all time:
1. Vasoline-5/5-I love this song. It's just a great, catchy tune. The lyrics aren't spectacular, but it's still great.
2. Down-4/5-This is a popular song and I like it, but it's overrated.
3. Wicked Garden-5/5-Some of their best lyrics, just great (sort of) quotable lines. It's one of their best.
4. Big Empty-5/5-Starts off slow, leading to a memorable chorus. The music to the song is superb and Weiland's whisper-singing is perfect.
5. Plush-5/5-This song is catchy and has some unique lyrics ("And I feel so much depends on the weather/so is it raining in your bedroom?)
6. Big Bang Baby-5/5-One of my favorite STP songs. It's annoying and catchy and I absolutely love it.
7. Creep-5/5-This song is much slower than the songs that come before it, but it's one of my favorite STP songs. It's got spectacular lyrics, that clearly came from Scott Weiland's heart which is made even more obvious by how he sings it.
8. Lady Picture Show-4/5-This song is off the bands worst album "Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop." It's a good song, but not great. The chorus is the best and the lyrics are interesting, even though they don't make a whole lot of sense.
9. Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart-5/5-Also off "Tiny Music" this song is great. I know some people find it annoying, but it's catchy and got stuck in my head. If a song gets stuck in my head and I don't care, I consider it a good song. This one, however, is great.
10. Interstate Love Song-5/5-One of the most recognizable guitar hooks in rock music. This song is on the radio all the time but has never got old for me.
11. All in the Suit That You Wear-5/5-This song is previously unreleased. If they recorded it for this CD alone, it's a nice addition. If it was just dropped from an album, that's too bad...It would've made a great track.
12. Sex Type Thing-5/5-Perspectives differ about what this song is about. I don't really care. It's very catchy and certain samples of the lyrics are so great.
13. Days of the Week-5/5-I've heard this song a lot, so I've warn it out. I don't like it as much as I used too, but the first 100 times I heard it I loved it. It's poppy, but it's still got the STP mark on it.
14. Sour Girl-5/5-I can relate to these lyrics, which might make me like it more than I would. But I think this is a great song through-and-through, expertly crafted in every way.
15. Plush (Accoustic)-5/5-A wonderful accoustic version of the song.

Thank You Poster
The "THANK YOU" CD features 13 of STP?s greatest songs, spanning more than a decade of hits. The compilation also includes a pair of special bonus tracks: the brand-new, previously unreleased "All In The Suit That You Wear" - which is headed to rock radio - along with an acoustic version of "Plush," recorded live on MTV?s Headbanger?s Ball back in 1992.This version of "THANK YOU" contains a bonus DVD. The 3-hour, 32-song DVD features a dozen of STP?s acclaimed music videos and a collection of brilliant live performances, including a remarkable assortment of "bootlegs" shot by friends and fans of the band. Among the highlights are never-before-seen musical meetings between STP and two of their major influences - a version of "Sweet Emotion" alongside Aerosmith?s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, and a rendition of "Wichita Lineman" with the legendary Glen Campbell.
