A previous reviewer stated "The more you listen, the better it gets!" Unfortunately, I did not find this to be the case. Although I love Core and Purple, No. 4 fell way short of my expectations. The majority of material on this album sounds like songs STP had to come up to give the record company that last album they owed them on their contract. It is the musical equivalent of a 10-page book report an eighth grader might write the night before it is due, about a book he read the day before, and which didn't interest him at all. I was driven to buy this CD by the killer single "Down" which I heard on the radio. This is a great song, but the rest of the CD bores me to tears. Unfortunately, it is not worth taking up a slot in the car CD changer for just the one cool song, so this CD is collecting dust in the house.
