I enjoyed VR, Contraband much more so than Libertad. However, I still think that STP is much better than what VR had amounted to.

I think the major difference between VR and STP, was that when VR first came out, nobody really entirely knew what to expect, and then at the same time, you kind of did. When you look at Weiland and Slash's pasts, you can see the ridiculous amount of talent, so long as they both kept clean. That's what I really liked about VR, since I kinda felt that VR was a crew who despite their checkered pasts, were doing the best they could.

With STP, a lot of times, it felt like Weiland was writing poetry and putting it to music. The lyrics could have been about really specific things or abstract ideas, and that's what I really loved.
