Data Insight
Every one of the twelve tracks is written by band members alone, the cleanest in house album in the catalogue. It is also the record made while Scott Weiland's addiction was pulling the band apart, which is not what the credits show.
Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop came out on Atlantic in March 1996 and is certified 2x platinum. It moves away from grunge into psychedelia and power pop.
