Shangri‐La Dee Da by Stone Temple Pilots
Shangri‐La Dee Da is an album by Stone Temple Pilots, released in 2001. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Days of the Week”, on 16 lists with a best position of #41.
Shangri-La Dee Da, Stone Temple Pilots' fifth album, arrived on Atlantic on June 19, 2001, cut between January and April that year in a villa in Malibu. It was the last of their records produced by Brendan O'Brien and the last before the band came apart in 2003, with Scott Weiland singing over the DeLeo brothers, Dean on guitar and Robert on bass, and Eric Kretz on drums.
It started life as a planned double album and still has that restless, grab-bag spirit: fuzz-choked heavy rockers, woozy psychedelic detours and a handful of acoustic ballads. "Days of the Week" is a sunny, bouncing power-pop rush that became the rock radio hit, while "Hollywood Bitch" snarls and sneers. It didn't sell like the old days, but it went gold in the US and Canada, critics liked its shifting moods, and the band hit the road on the Family Values Tour with Linkin Park that fall.
