tf40408 19th Jan 2018		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".

Magic Marmalade 8th Aug 2017		Review 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 :) 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Magic Marmalade 7th Aug 2017		This album is brilliant! (just had a cursory listen, will get into it later... when I do the ironing :)
