Stone Temple Pilots Album: “No. 4 [Japan Bonus Track]”

This is a good album, but it isn't worth all the extra money. The main difference is the live version "Down", which isn't worth all that money. Just buy the regular version.

This version of Down was recorded at the House of Blues in Las Vegas just before the release of No. 4. It is not bad, however you can purchase the track on the Down EP. This entire CD spells out hard hits, from Down to Atlanta! Down is a banging heavy guitar track. Heaven and Hot Rods is vintage STP, with a solid drum / guitar combination with singer Scott's beauty of his voice. Sour Girl is a standout song on this CD, it is a very soft song built around the lyrics and it tells a story of love and leaving. Church on Tuesday is a solid track focusing around Scott's vocals and lyrics accompanied with a big guitar. No Way Out is always a fun song, it's a song you sing when you have someone that you do not like and they have trapped themselves. Sex and Violence is another fast paced alternative rock marvel, with brief pauses between guitar riffs to catch your breath.
