Everything happens for a reason. The majority of global belief systems have this concept at their core. Notables from actress Marilyn Monroe to the Greek philosopher Leucippus believed in this. Fundamental to the matter at hand, it is a belief held by Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz, the members of Stone Temple Pilots.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Shangri-La Dee Da may not be STP's most commercial outing, but the disc's 13 tracks comprise a satisfying aural journey despite its lack of quick-fix hits along the lines of "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden." From the dark, grinding rhythms and obfuscated vocals of "Dumb Love" to the lovely "Wonderful" to the buoyant power pop of "Days of the Week" to the edgy and disturbing "Coma," myriad facets of the lineup's musical temperament are explored. "Bi-Polar Bear" hints at STP's humor, though Shangri-La is by no means lightweight; singer Scott Weiland's passionate and personal lyrics--especially on a touching ode to his infant son, "A Song for Sleeping"--are affecting and apt. The fifth outing from this California crew who've survived grunge and thrived in its aftermath is masterful and mature effort from a band who've spied some light at the end of their tunnel. --Katherine Turman

5.0 out of 5 stars An underrated swan song November 10, 2005
Format:Audio CD
Initially written off as Pearl Jam clones, Stone Temple Pilots turned out to be one of the finest rock bands of the 1990s. Their first three albums "Core," (1992) "Purple," (1994) and "Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" (1996) were among the best selling rock albums of the 90s and spawned many memorable singles that remain radio staples to this day.

Unfortunately Scott Weiland's drug busts and inner band turmoil stopped the LA quartet dead in their tracks.

The mid-to-late 90s saw Stone Temple Pilots go on a three year hiatus. During this time Dean and Robert DeLeo, (guitar, bass) and Eric Kretz (drums) formed the band Talk Show with singer Dave Coutts for their 1997 self-titled album. The following year saw the release of Scott Weiland's "12 Bar Blues." While both albums were strong, they failed to match the sales of Stone Temple Pilots. Unable to find commercial success without the other, Weiland and the rest of Stone Temple Pilots reconciled for 1999's "No4." The album was a strong return to form and the band regained their status as one of rocks premier acts. The band returned two years later for 2001s fifth and final "Shangri-LA DEE DA."

"Shangri-LA DEE DA" is probably the most underappreciated album in STP's catalogue. Sales were hurt because the band didn't initially tour to support the album and also because it failed to receive a huge push by Atlantic. The album stalled at Gold, thus becoming the only STP album failing to achieve platinum status. The album consequently slid under the radar of the general public, who to this day remain unaware of what a fine album Stone Temple Pilots swan song really is.

Much like "No4," "Shangri-LA DEE DA" takes its cue from the first three STP albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite rock release for 2001 and possibly STP's best November 26, 2001
By Donnie
Format:Audio CD
This is without a doubt the best rock cd released this year (2001). I thought Number 4 was a solid effort, but this cd is light years better. The first 3 STP cd's are classics, but I think this is their most complete recording date. It's got everything: "Dumb Love" is a rocker that kicks the cd off, leading into the first single "Days of the Week". "Wonderful" is one of the best ballads you'll hear and you also have "Coma" and "Transmissions From a Lonely Room", both stellar tracks. In fact there really isn't a weak track on the cd. Above all you have great musicianship and Weiland's incredible vocals.

If anyone can bring rock and roll back to the forefront it's STP and "Shangri-La Dee Da.

I like this album, but it doesn't compare to the STP's first two releases, "Core" and Purple". The first 3-4 songs of "Shangra-La Dee Da" come out like your typical STP outing. Good old fashion rock. Then the album settles down & plays more pop oriented tunes that may or may not be radio friendly. The one thing that is always present on a STP album is "change". From the in-yer-face hard rock/grunge sound of 1992's "Core", to the classic rock & sometime 70's groovy feel of "Purple" & "Tiny Music...", to 1999's updated big bass & drums hip rock "4", to hard & soft (acoustic) "Shangri-La Dee Da". I like this album & it's grown on me big time with repeated spins. Weiland has been hot & cold in the past in dealing with his drug addiction(s), the police, bandmates, hair color and life in general... but the STP's stick thru it & continue to throw out likable music for the masses. In this day & age of corporate rock (good hard rock bands going soft for air time on the radio... like Aerosmith), it's very clear to me that this Stone Temple Pilot machine is making the music that THEY want to make, and not necessarily what we want to hear. This is a good thing & it's a theme that I wish more bands would follow. They've taken the notion "...if it feels good - do it" to a new level. Best fast song is "Dumb Love". Best slower tunes are "Days Of The Week" and "A Song For Sleeping". The musicianship & thought provoking lyrics continue to impress me. Good disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best and Most Diverse Album to Date November 21, 2001
Format:Audio CD
Shangri La Dee Da is easily the Stone Temple Pilot's best album ever, the musicianship is excellent, Scott Weiland's voice is in top form, and most important of all the songs are great. There is something for everyone on this album from STP's trademark grunge inspired hard rock to meaningful ballads to straightforward pop rock.... Read more ›
