“What a strange trip it’s been for fans of Stone Temple Pilots. Two decades ago, they gave us the grunge masterpiece ‘Plush.’ Now they are offering folk songs with flute solos. That’s not a knock, just a gentle warning. Bands evolve and the Pilots have moved so beyond their sonic beginnings that they’ve followed their muse into a completely different genre. They deserve credit — and listeners. ‘Perdida’ finds the band in an acoustic frame of mind. No, they’re not making stripped-down covers of their hits (they’ve done that), but 10 brand new songs using no or very little juice. There are cellos, violins, alto sax and something called a Marxophone, a fretless zither.” – Mark Kennedy, AP News
