I choose Purple as well. First off, I thought Weiland's vocals were the strongest on that album. Musically, the songwriting is inspired and spectacular. The music is catchy and original, and every single song on there serves as a massive anthem in my book. The solos are killer, too. My favorite song on the album is Kitchenware & Candybars, and it finishes off the album perfectly (prior to the 12 gracious melodies). I think that album front to back is flawless. It's my favorite album of all time, bar none. I can point out minor flaws in the others. Core is too one dimensional. Tiny Music is great, but a little too scratchy and songs like Art School Girl are a little too ridiculous for me. #4 has great songs, but doesn't work together that well. SLDD was a great effort, but Days of the Week for me was a weak attempt at a radio hit -- and that was a disappointing part.
