 I agree with Magic Marmalade, although I felt this way immediately after buying it in 1994 as opposed to re-visiting this 20 years later. This is the most listenable and enjoyable of all the "grunge" albums, and the ones Magic referenced are "THE" holy-grail of "grunge". Of the holy grail, "Purple" ranks #1, Soundgarden "Superunknown" is #2, Pearl Jam "Ten" is #3 and, sorry folks, Nirvana "Nevermind" comes in last. FWIW, I rather prefer STP's next release "Tiny Music" to anything by Nirvana as well. If you can only own 3 albums from the 90's, make it "Purple", "Superunknown" and "Ten".

This is right up my alley!

(...Hence the grimace)

...I'd like to add my usual exclamation of: "How did this evade me first time round?!"...

.....But, in truth, I know the answer to that one:

I had a friend who was into metal at the time, so when she recommended this to me, I simply dismissed it as being another unlistenable piece of heavy metal, and so Stone Temple Pilots were neatly filed away from then on, in the section: "Not my thing", in my brain, and so never had cause to revisit.

But this is, if I may still use the term in polite company: "Grunge".

...And very good grunge it is too!

Better in fact, than most everything else from the time, and even (whisper it)... better than Nirvana's Nevermind album (Gasp! - the sound of crockery breaking on the floor - etc.), which I find to be, other than two or three tracks, hard work to listen too all the way through these days. I know we are supposed to bow our heads and speak with veneration of that album, but it bores the dooin's out of me now, and I remain firmly in the Pearl Jam: Ten camp, for it is more tuneful, and engaging in many more ways.

...And this, I would argue, is even stronger than that album!

Only Soundgarden's: Superunknown album has had more of my ear-time in recent years than Ten, but this is going to get played to death!

Nevermind Nirvana, this Pearly Jam is a Ten+

(There's a fantastic, if extremely odd, secret track at the end of this, whih is a kind of jazzy Vegas lounge tune... and a good one at that :)
