Stone Temple Pilots
Everything happens for a reason. The majority of global belief systems have this concept at their core. Notables from actress Marilyn Monroe to the Greek philosopher Leucippus believed in this. Fundamental to the matter at hand, it is a belief held by Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz, the members of Stone Temple Pilots. How else to explain the present beatific state the band currently inhabit than the concept of "divine obstacles" being deliberately placed in front of the band members in order that they fully realized their potential, strength, willpower and creativity. "Stone Temple Pilots," the groups sixth, eponymously titled album, due out May 25, 2010 via Atlantic Records, is a testament to this concept.
Like piercing the membrane into an alternate musical reality where craft always takes precedence over glitz and talent always triumphs over headlines and reality shows, "Stone Temple Pilots" is the highest peak on the band's enduring landscape. The music is both challenging and familiar at the same time giving the listener a skewed sense of déjà vu. But then again, déjà vu is perhaps fates way of telling you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. And if the members of Stone Temple Pilots feel that same sense of déjà vu it's because they're right in line with their own destiny.
