If you're a fan of the Stone Temple Pilots' pop side, you may well find Talk Show the great album that band never quite made. Here the Beatlesque hard-pop that increasingly distinguished STP's work from Tiny Music onward is in the ascendant--most notably on Everybody Loves My Car and Hide. At the same time, there's a lot of variety. Leadoff track Ring Twice gets your attention straight away; along with So Long, it has all the hallmarks of a great STP rocker, and singer Dave Coutts sounds most like Weiland here. (He's a fine vocalist; listen to Hello Hello and Behind to get a good sense of his range.) Everybody's the would-be single. Peeling an Orange, Wash Me Down, Filling the Fields and especially Behind show off the band's softer side to excellent effect.


Granted, Talk Show doesn't have STP's sense of presence. It's just a rock 'n' roll CD. But there's not a bad track here.

1st impression i got was that this was an average album. But after subsequent listens, it has turned out to be quite good. In fact as good as, if not better then tiny shop by STP. A friend can't get enough of it and he's not really an STP fan. Almost a 5 starer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite a departure for Kretz and the brothers DeLeo, April 2, 2002

I recently bought this CD, and while Dave Coutts is no Scott Weiland, he holds his own quite well. The best songs are "Fill the Fields," "Wash Me Down" and "Hide." The album seems much more mellow than most of STP's work. Overall, a worthwhile effort.
