Stone Temple Pilots - No. 4 (Exclusive Splatter Vinyl) [Roctober 2024]

Stone Temple Pilots returned in 1999 with their fourth album, appropriately titled No. 4. The record features two STP classics "Sour Girl" and "Down", as well as the single "No Way Out".

No. 4 was positioned as a “back to basics” album after the psych-pop of the band's previous album, Tiny Music. The record is heavy and bombastic but also slick and professional, it was a big-budget alt-rock album in a time where most bands were going new directions.

While emo, nu-metal, and the likes of Foo Fighters and Nickelback ensured rock was a completely fine commercial prospect for years to come, No. 4 was almost a dinosaur upon arrival, a swaggering and snarling rock album at the postscript of grunge’s cultural cachet.

Exclusive SPLATTER vinyl produced by Rhino / Atlantic Records for their 'Rocktober 2024' campaign.
