Wow... Just wow... Stone Temple Pilots is my favorite band of all time. Filter is my second favorite band of all time. To think that my two favorite bands would combine to write songs was just out of my thinking range. So when I heard that the DeLeo brothers, Richard Patrick, and Ray Luzier were to form a new band, let's just say I almost had a heart attack. Their debut album blew off any doubts I had this is the real. This album oozes with writing skills I have not heard in many years. The DeLeos prove yet once again that they are without a doubt the most underrated instrumentalists in music. Combining elements of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, and just straight up hard rock, the duo create some of the catchiest and amazing core music to grace the industry in several years. Stone Temple Pilots obviously has a great influence here some of the riffs are strongly reminiscent of STP's Tiny Music days. Dean provides amazing hooks and riffs that dominate the record, while Dean delivers pounding rhythm and bass lines. Yes, Scott Weiland had a great voice, and one might wonder how the DeLeos can manage to replace him. Fear not, for Richard Patrick's voice delivers in nearly all ways, from the dark and strong single "Goodbye", to "Dissapear", which as one reviewer put it, bears a striking resemblance to the hit Filter song "Take a Picture". Richard's voice fluctuates from low growls to highly melodic croons, and one is left to wonder how me manages it. Ray Luzier's presence just seals the deal. His drumming adds a new layer to the band's sound, and helps fuels the music. So chuck all your doubts out the window. THIS is the real deal. This has surpassed all my expectations give it a listen and you will understand why. My favorite songs are "Disappear", "Leave It", and "Goodbye".Read full review
Love the cd. Just gotta play it like a million times. Sorry but having been a drummer some 25 yrs now -im very bias toward ray luziers playing. Totally smokin stuff. As for the 2 guys from Stone Temple Pilots? - well be happy the crack head frontman isn't around -cause Patrick is a purfect fit!!! All the other guy did (wont even mention his name)was bring you all down man!!! Looking forward to the next album -COMMON HURRY IT UP!!!! Doug -South of Cleveland
It's nice to see the boys from STP (Robert and Dean DeLeo) get back in the game. I was a little skeptical about the lead singer from Filter taking the vocal spot (Filter's cheesy radio hits never did anything for me) but, he sounds great with the DeLeo Bros. music. And Ray Luzier (the drummer), who has credits a hundred miles long, plays the s#$% outta them drums!! Sounds to me like he listened to a lot of Peart in his formative years. I must have played this album 50 times in the couple of months I've had it. AOA rocks!! Pick this one up!!
Ok take major talent like Richard Patrick from FILTER vocals.....scott weiland ..s t p...and other major players....you get a melting pot of best sound....mind blowing tracks. Creative out of the box....and filter still doing great...Scott r.i.p.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I usually don't buy too many CD's online,but I took a chance on This one from a band called Army of Anyone.They are the core brothers Deleo from Stone Temple Pilots,and the singer Richard Patrick singer/songwriter from Filter.Joining them is Ray Luzier drummer with David Lee Roth,Billy Sheehan,and countless sessions.Together these guys have made a great CD with songs consistant throughout the album.No filler songs here.Rocking guitar riffs that you expect from Dean Deleo are intertwined by Roberts melodic basslines,and anchored by Luziers busy but very tasty drumming.Patrick has great melody lines and lyrics to go with every tune on this quite capable debut album from these guys,and I can't wait until the next one is released.
