    While the debut showed him eager to step outside the confines of STP, he essentially has nothing to prove here, and as a result, it's a casual-sounding record.
  2. Rolling Stone

    His latest is two discs and all over the highway, from the solid rock of "Missin' Cleveland" to the banjo-glam ballad 'Tango With Your Mind' to the bossa-nova glide of 'Killing Me Sweetly.'

    Happy in Galoshes isn't quite as textured or bright as "12 Bar Blues"--the smaller budget is evident in its muted colors as well as Weiland's sleepy delivery--but it has the same emphasis on churning psychedelia and clomping glam.

    "Happy In Galoshes" runs in much more familiar grounds than "12 Bar Blues" did, but it's still a joy to hear Scott Weiland running free "Happy In Galoshes" runs in much more familiar grounds than "12 Bar Blues" did, but it's still a joy to hear Scott Weiland running free from the constraints of an actual "band". "Paralysis" is simply wonderful and many other tracks follow closely. Good stuff.… Full Review »

    Ok, maybe it's not the most brilliant album ever made, but come on, it's still Scott Weiland!
