Review:
Straight up hardcore. I bought this for the collaboration with Chino Moreno on “Will To Die”, but the rest of the album is just as hard as that track.

Review:
I kinda bought this as an afterthought just to get a couple of tracks, namely Snot’s Absent, Sevendust’s Breathe, SOAD’s Marmalade and Pantera’s Where You Come From. The rest of the metal on here is decent as well.

Review:
The tribute album for Lynn Strait, the lead singer of Snot who was killed in a car accident. The instrumental tracks that were to make up Snot’s 2nd album get the star treatment instead, and the results are mostly fantastic. Serj from SOAD, Corey from Slipknot
and the heartfelt Sevendust original Angel’s Son make this album great, plus Snot’s own Absent. One glaring stain on the project is the Fred Durst track, “Forever”, where he comes up with terrible lyrics and still manages to plug Limp Bizkit. Other than that, this album just rocks.

Review:
After two stellar albums, STP got weird on us. I actually like this album, and it grows on me a little more every time I throw it in, but I prefer the heavier side of STP to this.

Review:
This greatest hits collection added one new song, ‘All In The Suit That You Wear’. But the gem here is the DVD that came with it. All the official videos, and a ton of live footage. The collection was worth it for the DVD alone.

Review:
When I first got this album, I hated it. I wondered what the hell happened to the STP I knew and loved. But I kept giving it another try, and it grew on me to the point where I feel I appreciate it a lot more now. The music is some of the best stuff they’ve done, without going ‘commercial’ or making a Core II or Purple II. A little older and a little wiser makes for a mature album.

Review:
STP came back with a mix of all three previous albums on No. 4. Heavier tunes coupled with more of the lighter psychedelic type songs from Tiny Music made for an impressive return after all of the turmoil after the release of the third album.

Review:
Every bit as good as Core, but for different reasons. Unafraid to slow things down, but not go completely acoustic, the songwriting became even better with this disc. Also gave MTV News its little sound bite (from Lounge Fly). The back cover says ’12 Gracious Melodies, while the track listing only shows 11, due to the fun hidden track dubbed ‘The Second Album, performed by lounge singer Richard Peterson.

Review:
Lumped in with the Seattle grunge movement, STP’s debut in 1992 fit perfectly in the musical landscape at the time. Every song is great, and the album holds up a decade later with no problem.
