{"product_id":"stone-temple-pilots-no-4-2lp","title":"Stone Temple Pilots - No. 4 [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeavy riffs came roaring back on No. 4, Stone Temple Pilots' 1999 album, presented here as a limited two-LP set on 180-gram vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer Brendan O'Brien, who had worked with them since the start, helped the DeLeo brothers and drummer Eric Kretz rediscover the punch of their early records after the psychedelic detours of Tiny Music. Scott Weiland was serving a jail sentence when the album came out, so it arrived with almost no promotion, yet it still found a huge audience on the strength of the songs alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Down\" opens the record like a sledgehammer, all crushing guitars and Weiland's snarling delivery, while \"No Way Out\" and \"Sex \u0026amp; Violence\" keep the pressure high. Then \"Sour Girl\" changes the mood completely, a dreamy, melancholic pop song that became one of the band's biggest hits. Robert DeLeo's basslines are a constant pleasure, and Dean's guitars move easily between heavy crunch and psychedelic shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften overlooked next to Core and Purple, No. 4 holds up as one of the band's most complete records from start to finish, heavy and hooky in equal measure. The double-vinyl format gives its louder moments real room to hit, and the quieter songs plenty of space to drift and settle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57109923987761,"sku":"821797259514","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Stone_Temple_Pilots-No._4_2LP_52b02a59-6b92-44e0-97c8-ae7d59e8962b.jpg?v=1793182330","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/stone-temple-pilots-no-4-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
