Stone Temple Pilots
STP’s first album with Jeff Gutt on vocals had a nearly impossible task: proving the band could continue without Weiland or Chester Bennington. And against the odds, it succeeds in places. While it doesn’t reach the heights of their classic era, Stone Temple Pilots (2018) shows that the band could still craft solid rock songs with a new frontman.
