While some tracks do seem to ape the era's grunge ethos a bit too slavishly, there's also a sense that perhaps Weiland and company were merely sharing some of the same influences as their contemporaries--and on standouts like the riff-savvy \"Sex Type Thing\" and the moody acoustics of \"Creep\", accomplishing it with a bit more ambitious range. Indeed, the radio anthem \"Crush\" belies a devotion to songcraft disdained by many of their peers, one that served as an effective bridge between the stadium rock of the '70s and '80s and the more introspective alt-rock just then coming into vogue--even if the album's triple-platinum sales showed just how ironic and misplaced the \"alternative\" label could ultimately be. --Jerry McCulley\n\nProduct Description\n\nCertified Multi-Platinum (8 times) by the RIAA.
