they may have been beautiful but im glad they are over.
yes and no... both are good in different ways  i LOVE stp but VR it seemed had more energy on stage.  Don't get me wrong I am so happy they are back together but I was a pretty stoked when VR formed with scott too

as a show maybe...not a better band. STP has all 6 cds where you really don't have to skip many songs...thats hard to find

When Libertad came out, I really thought that they stepped it up a notch over Contraband, which I loved.  I thought Libertad was more of an artistic stretch, with more diverse elements and influences (from The Last Fight to Spay to Don't Drop That Dime), which I can't help but assume was Scott's doing.  I remember reading somewhere that all the music for Contraband was basically written and demo'd before Scott even joined the band.  So for all that, I though Contraband was amazing, but Libertad was better.
