Stone Temple Pilots stressed that a new album would be recorded as long as both parties in the lawsuit acted in good faith, but in November 2008, Weiland would comment, "I was told, and I was told for years, that we were free from Atlantic. In a statement made by email, the band said they were surprised and disappointed by the lawsuit. Stone Temple Pilots had delivered six albums (five studio records and the compilation, Thank You) and Atlantic wanted a seventh album with an option for two more. On June 12, 2008, Atlantic Records filed a lawsuit against Weiland and Eric Kretz, claiming the two had threatened to terminate their contract unless changes were made. ĭespite the band's intent, a future album from the group was uncertain. Scott Weiland would hear new material from Robert and Dean DeLeo while the band performed sound checks during the tour, but he would not collaborate in the songwriting process until he was through promoting his solo album, "Happy" in Galoshes. Stone Temple Pilots sold 62,000 copies in its first week and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.Īfter separating in 2003, Stone Temple Pilots reunited in April 2008 for a 75-date North American tour. The second and third singles, " Take a Load Off" and " Cinnamon", were released later in the year. " Between the Lines" was the first single, released on March 22. The album was promoted during the band's performances at music festivals and headlining concerts, as well as in interviews with music websites and magazines, including Billboard and Spin, and radio and television talk shows. The band confirmed these assertions and that lyricists like Bob Dylan, and guitarists like Speedy West and Brad Whitford were influences. Most critics agreed that Stone Temple Pilots was heavily inspired by country and rock music from the 1960s and 1970s. The album received generally favorable reviews. The album was completed in December 2009, and mixing and mastering were finished by February 2010. Don Was was brought in as an additional producer to help keep the band's separate recording sessions in sync, as well as to work closely with Weiland during the recording of his vocals. Scott Weiland recorded vocals at his own Lavish Studios.
Three studios were used simultaneously, including Robert's home studio and Eric Kretz's Bomb Shelter Studios. Because recording took place during breaks in the band's touring schedule, production took nearly ten months to complete. Robert DeLeo, against Atlantic Records's wishes, insisted that he and his brother Dean DeLeo produce the record themselves, which began production in early 2009. This is the last album to feature vocalist Scott Weiland before he was fired from the band in 2013 and died in 2015. Atlantic eventually withdrew the lawsuit, and the band's attorney called the legal situation a "misunderstanding". After Stone Temple Pilots had begun playing together, the band decided to record again, but a lawsuit filed by Atlantic Records on June 12, 2008, made the sixth album an uncertainty. The album is the result of the band's reunion, which occurred in April 2008 with their North American tour. The album was released worldwide from May 21 through May 27, 2010, and is the band's first album since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da.

The cover model was a family friend of art director John Heiden. “The album cover, created to resemble a 70s-style LP cover and based on an idea from Weiland, features a woman in a swimsuit standing in a pool with a crocodile in it.
School teachers would probably kill me for this.
