From slantmagazine: Happy in Galoshes is even more bat-shit insane an album, with Weiland strutting and vamping through an interminable series of ever-shifting stylistic pastiches, no two of which sound like they were written and recorded by the same person. The bulk of the record finds Weiland playing pop-icon dress-up.
Even worse and more unnecessary than even I expected. What absolutely crap!! Nice to see your fan base as nothing but pathetic swooning chicks that, if they weren't listening to this, they'd be busy reading wasting their lives reading romance novels and watching reality TV. Such shit this is. Way to work that mystique you fucking phony!!
I've been listening to several of the songs from this album and I must say that I love it. Finally he seems clean again and his talents are at their best. My favourite STP album was recorded when he was clean and in prison. This is great. I love it when the poppy is crushed under the sound of a beautiful flower. Keep it up Scott if you're reading. You have a lot of support out here if you do. Rock and roll baby.
Kinda hard to record albums in prison?? I heard the acoustics suck. Too bad everyone has to equate his past with his present. How about just saying it's a great album, go to the shows, buy merch, etc. and don't rehash the past.
I've been listening to his music for a long time. I love all of his albums. My favorites are 12 Bar Blues and STPs Shangri La De Da. This album is just not cutting it for me. I don't get it. I'm really trying, but I'm just not feeling it.....:0( And truly, I love his work!!! Oh well, there was bound to be one album by him I just couldn't get into. I suppose this is it..
well idk about you really...cuz 12 Bar Blues i couldn't def. not get into and i'm like a Scott Weiland head biggest fan...Ever i think...second fav album is Core of all time...Shangri was amazing tooo but from knowing that you didn't favor Core and Purple before Shangri kinda explains why you like 12 bar and not his new album...kinda like a scott horrorscope there...lol but i like scott fans so your ok i guess
Yeah, I'm not into the more popular albums by him I guess. The less it was favored by the majority, the more I liked it. I really can't get into Core. It was far too popular when I was young, and now it just seems overplayed.
Shangri never became pplr and 12 Bar was really quiet as well. I LOVE them. They are his masterpieces. All the popular stuff is just played to the masses. 12 is so good because we get to see his thoughts and feeling.
your really wrong in everykinda way lol...im one of those that are deeply in love with all scotts work...i liked everything...not basshing you or anything but you prolly aren't deep into there music...sorry if i sounded arrogant
you know guys, i love all his music, since the very first song from core to the last one of happy in galoshes and i think scott weiland is like the wine, musically speaking, he improves with the years, even though i don't have a favourite album i do think his best song or on of his best songs is loving the alien with vr, but that's just my opinion, weiland rocks!!!long live to the guy
@KellylovesAshton If you're not obsessed with "Tiny Music... Songs From A Vatican Gift Shop", you are not a Weiland fan... Plain and simple. AICHead was being nice, I'm telling the truth... Not to mention, Purple... WOW!
this song would be PERFECT in a racing game! the riff in this song is great too:). i just can't believe those idiots that reviewed this album said it sucked,with songs like Blind Confusion, Fame, Missing Cleveland, Tangle with you mind and Killing me sweetly how can this suck?
Make another album! This is bowie-esque, i want the old heavy shit back

Listen to the fourth STP album. Best album they ever made. The past always effects the future. Those who say otherwise never had one.

My new fav Scott Weiland song! If they released this as a single it would be successful cause it kinda has that The Killer's sound to it.
