one visit to the Marin headland bunkers, looking out at the blue, endless ocean on a cold and cloudy day will give you enough context to this album's melancholy
minimalism that calls to the beauty of the expansive American deserts, mountains and plains
Lost out in Keeler, California
This is the kind of album that has real potential to be looked back on as a landmark record in rock. To think you could top an album as good as 3D country on its own is a massive achievement, but they did and once again all my expectations were obliterated into a million pieces.

On superhappytime's review of Stone Temple Pilots - Core
"Not sure if they cashed in. The sound is similar, but to me Stone Temple Pilots is it's own group and they have their own thing. Plush for example was written before the "big break" of grunge, so I think it was just a sound of the time."
