Their sound and style changed from the debut release of "Core" in 1992, when compared to their style and sound with the release of the album "No.4" in 2000.

Scott Weiland is one of my favorite artist/songwriters originally of the grunge era. "Maybe the fact of being from California had something to do with them being a little different (pantomime) than the other grunge bands from Seattle".
It just felt like they were kind of riding the coattails of what Nirvana and Soundgarden were doing initially in their career. Purple is when they really came into their own for me. Some seriously good tracks on that one.
