(4\/02)\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nThough lambasted in some quarters as cynical clones of the then-vaunted \"Seattle sound\" (in particular, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam) STP's 1993 debut nonetheless found a considerable following for its potent crunch and sly hooks. While some tracks do seem to ape the era's grunge ethos a bit too slavishly, there's also a sense that perhaps Weiland and company were merely sharing some of the same influences as their contemporaries--and on standouts like the riff-savvy \"Sex Type Thing\" and the moody acoustics of \"Creep\", accomplishing it with a bit more ambitious range. Indeed, the radio anthem \"Plush\" belies a devotion to songcraft disdained by many of their peers, one that served as an effective bridge between the stadium rock of the '70s and '80s and the more introspective alt-rock just then coming into vogue--even if the album's triple-platinum sales showed just how ironic and misplaced the \"alternative\" label could ultimately be.\n--Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678241826\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075678241826\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42076322005251,"sku":"OF-NTCN-LU1O","price":6.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51rDz9b-e2L.jpg?v=1637379276","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/core","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
