The STP quote definitely kept me optimistic. Scott finally releasing this second solo album doesn't mean he doesn't want to continue with STP, he's been working on it since before STP's initial breakup in 2002 and almost released it in 2006 and 2007 while still with VR, I see this as a project. Hopefully while Scott's on tour Dean, Robert, and Eric can come up with some music for Scott for the next STP album.
