Stone Temple Pilots is the sixth studio album by the American rock band of the same name, released in May 2010 through Atlantic Records. It marked the band’s first release in nearly a decade, following 2001’s Shangri-La Dee Da, and came after their 2008 reunion tour reignited their creative chemistry. Despite initial legal disputes with Atlantic, the band pressed ahead with recording, working largely independently and taking a self-produced approach led by brothers Robert and Dean DeLeo.
Recording sessions stretched across 2009, taking place in multiple studios including Robert DeLeo’s home setup, Eric Kretz’s Bomb Shelter Studios, and Scott Weiland’s Lavish Studios for vocals. Don Was joined late in the process to help unify the various recordings and assist with vocal production. The resulting album drew inspiration from 1960s and 1970s rock, infusing the group’s signature alt-grunge sound with classic influences like the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. Tracks such as “Between the Lines,” “Take a Load Off,” and “Cinnamon” showcased both the band’s melodic instincts and their renewed energy after years apart.
Upon release, Stone Temple Pilots received generally positive reviews and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling over 60,000 copies in its first week. Critics praised its strong hooks and vintage rock feel, noting that it balanced nostalgia with a sense of reinvention. The record would prove to be the final studio release from the band’s original lineup, closing the chapter on an era defined by Scott Weiland’s dynamic voice and the DeLeo brothers’ songwriting chemistry.
