Core

Core is the 1992 debut album by Stone Temple Pilots that blends grunge, alternative rock and hard rock. It features heavy, guitar-driven arrangements, sludgy riffs and Scott Weiland's wide-ranging, sometimes theatrical vocals, with songs that move between brooding midtempo grooves and more aggressive rockers. The record introduced the band's mix of classic hard rock influences and a contemporary grunge sound and helped establish them in the early 1990s rock scene.
