Fortunately for listeners, it is no mere banquet of self pity, nor does it sound like the creative death rattle of an addict. In fact, <I>Twelve Bar Blues</I> is far more adventurous than anything Stone Temple Pilots ever ventured. With the assistance of production giant Daniel Lanois, Weiland created a studio-intensive pastiche of spaced-out beats, smash-and-grab guitar riffs, and slick, Thin White Duke synths. While Weiland gives vent to his pain here, he also displays an avid lyrical imagination and a pop refinement that saves the album from turning into a woe-is-me plaint from yet another drug-addled rock star. After his solo debut, he went back to Stone Temple Pilots, who would later breakup. Velvet Revolver came along shortly after; they released two albums and then broke up. Weiland then reunited once again with STP and dipped back into his solo career with second album, <i>Happy in Galoshes</i>, in 2008. - Chad DriscollContemporary Hard Rocken720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:54:33 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8352&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fscott-weiland%2Fplaylists.rss As you would expect from anyone struggling to free himself from the inner hells of substance abuse, Scott Weiland's solo work is an exercise in catharsis.
