Yeah, Purple was written in a Chinese character on the front.The album was named Purple because according to Weiland, "Purple is my favorite color...it's the color of bruises."
The album certainly isn’t perfect. Some of the songs suffer the same problems as the debut – Silvergun Superman and Big Empty (the first single, a major hit that ended up on the soundtrack to The Crow) are perfectly serviceable numbers, but neither ever really go anywhere or do anything special. During either of these songs you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs through the verses and waiting for things to pick up again. It doesn’t help that they come one after the other either, slowing the album almost to a stop.
The vinyl of this album was colored purple
because the chinese symbol ('word') on the album's cover means 'purple' in english..and it's no coincidence, STP wanted it to be called Purple obviously, cause they thought it sounded purple...you know, like some music makes you think about dark colors, and some peaceful church songs might make you think white or something, and STP boys thought purple off of the songs they'd written, and named it like that, but for some reason wanted it to be written in chinese, and asked some cook in a chinese restaurant how the symbol (word) would look in chinese..
What does "er" mean on Still Remains? Dragon flies "er" gliding over...
