Yet the four musicians, working again with longtime producer Brendan O'Brien, came out swinging. The DeLeo brothers' riffs hit with fresh muscle, Eric Kretz drives the band hard, and Weiland sounds both wounded and defiant, often in the same chorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Down\" opens the album with a grinding, almost metallic riff that makes their intent clear from the first seconds. \"Church On Tuesday\" balances swagger with a hooky chorus, and \"Glide\" drifts into the hazy psychedelia the band always handled so well. Then there is \"Sour Girl,\" a melancholy, swaying ballad that became one of their best-loved songs, its gentle melody hiding a heartbreak that lingers long after the last chord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross eleven tracks, No. 4 moves between brute force and bruised beauty without ever losing its footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt remains one of the most underrated records in their catalogue, and a strong reminder that STP were always more than the grunge tag they were saddled with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499446018353,"sku":"075678325526","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_a0847355-e31d-4706-a339-5e0450b4b404.jpg?v=1794507055","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/stone-temple-pilots-no-4-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
