STONE TEMPLE PILOTS: SHANGRI LA DEE DA Fifth Studio Album (2001)

Stone Temple Pilots: Shangri-La Dee Da Album cover

Shangri La Dee Da is the fifth studio album by the Stone Temple Pilots. It was produced by Brendan O’Brien and released on June 19, 2001 by Atlantic Records. It was their last album to be produced by O’Brien and their last one before they first disbanded in late 2003. Shangri La Dee Da was originally planned to be a double album dedicated to the memory of Andrew Wood, but the concept was vetoed by Atlantic Records.

While recording the album, the band also worked on a documentary and coffee table book. Neither was released, however, and limited footage was made available through the band’s official website in the form of live performance-based music videos.

Stone temple pilots released 2 singles in support of their album Shangri-La Dee Da: Days of the Week, released on January 1, 2001, and Hollywood Bitch, released on September 3, 2001. Despite not selling as well as the band’s first four albums, Shangri-La Dee Da was certified Gold by the RIAA and the CRIA and was a commercial success for the band.
