Just saw this come through my Twitter feed.
He sounds great. Though he typically does on record.
Love the production. Already leaps and bounds over HIG.
The song has a very sexy, cool vibe, just doesn't blow me away.
But it's awesome to hear him again.

I can tell this one is a grower, I'm already liking it quite a bit more on my second listen. Hopefully another song will be released tomorrow with the pre-order announcement.

You're absolutely right about that. I'm on a few listens in and like it more and more each time.

This sounds great. The production is tight... lot of effects but nothing offensive (like noticable autotune). The drums sound good too. No hooks jump out at me yet, but the groove is good and songs usually take me a few listens to "get".

This will do nicely. I like the whole vibe of it, nothing original but with its own feel.

We already know there are better songs on the album - it's good they've come out with something a little different soundwise for openers. Promising.

Oh man this song is sick! Really impressed with it...love the dirty rock and roll vibe going on here. I can't remember was this song done live already?

Oh wow, this is a heavy song. Scott wasn't kidding when he posted that instagram about laying down guitar riffs that would melt your face off. This almost has an 80s vibe to it.

So far I'm liking what I'm hearing from this album. The four piece lineup is definitely yielding dividends, Jeremy's sound has really come through.
When STP had a cookout after filming the video for the Core single "Plush," Weiland made jerk chicken that was "spectacular," Dean raves.

Anybody else think that Scott really has his SLDD voice back?

Sounds really good. I'll have to listen to this a few more times.

I like it a lot.  So sludgy, grimy, and heavy.  Very unlike anything he's done before.  Which I guess is par for the course for Weiland.  Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.    Modzilla in particular sounds like it could be big.
We like the cars...the cars that go BOOM!
