...record capitalizes on the desire of fans to hear old-school, "Plush" grunge. No. 4 capitalizes on the interplay between the hard rock emphasis of STP's debut album, Core, and the lessons in eclectic beat formation and poppy renditions of 1994's Purple and 1996's Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop. In many respects, the album seems to reflect a band that is almost too happy to be creating together again, so instead of the work indicating musical growth it becomes a stylistic retrospective...
...hauntingly melodious songs, "Church on Tuesday" is a tremendous treat. The song recalls favorites such as Purple's "Vasoline" and "Pretty Penny", with the framing of Weiland's somber vocals around Dean Deleo's masterful lead guitar.

"You," in which he repeated the line "tear out my eyes," was performed in a similar style. Rap covers...
...this tour, Tricky was joined by a live band who did a surprisingly astute job of recreating the menacing environment of his recordings. They mixed genres seamlessly, performing ambient dub, driving jungle and straight-ahead rock with equal aplomb. While pre-recorded sounds were used, they were kept to a minimum. The sound was very tight but very flexible: four-minute tracks became ten-minute jams, with Tricky repeating phrases with mantra-like intensity. This vastly improved his music: in his studio work, Tricky compresses ideas into his songs, but the live venue allowed his songs to stretch out, achieving...
