Purple

Purple is the second studio album by the American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, released on June 7, 1994, by Atlantic Records. Expanding on the band's grunge roots, the album incorporates more genres, such as psychedelic rock, blues rock, and country. The band started work on the album while touring for their debut, Core. The song "Big Empty" was recorded on May 25, 1993 and appeared in the 1994 film The Crow, while the rest of the album was recorded in March 1994. Purple was a major commercial success, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard 200, and remaining at the top of the chart for three weeks, with 252,000 copies sold in its first week. The album spawned a number of successful singles; "Vasoline" and "Interstate Love Song" both topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached number 2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, while "Big Empty" also reached the top ten on both charts. Lesser-known album cuts "Pretty Penny" and "Unglued" were released as promotional singles to success on rock charts.
