Stone Temple Pilots and ex-Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland does nothing in half measures — drug troubles, band dramas or solo albums. 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." The connecting tissue is Weiland's passion for another chameleon, David Bowie: The chorus in "She Sold Her System" is a chip off "Drive-In Saturday." But Weiland is his own man during the ticktock pop of "Archangel," a wistful elegy for his late brother.
