Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

The structure and power is unmistakable. The deft tones and swirling highs of a guitar being treated with the respect it deserves and with a thump of the drums keeping time with the listener’s heart are all there struggling to be unleashed on a the music lover who surely knows what they are going to get when the Stone Temple Pilots rears their musical heads.

The vocals though are something different, something new and might leave the listener wondering if the debut E.P. for Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington, High Rise is really the right direction for the rock group.
