Review of High Rise in Tangible Sounds

High Rise, Stone Temple Pilots with Chester BenningtonMy review of High Rise, the new Stone Temple Pilots EP with Chester Bennington, has just gone up on Tangible Sounds:

After more than twenty years together, Scott Weiland was unceremoniously fired from Stone Temple Pilots in February earlier this year. The band cited addition problems and persistent tardiness as reasons for his dismissal. Within a few months, STP announced that Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington would be their new vocalist.

This is the first new material from the band since their 2010 self-titled album. For my part, I was skeptical, but listening to High Rise has caused me to reconsider that stance.
