WIKIPEDIA:

“ Shangri-La Dee Da is the fifth studio album by Stone Temple Pilots. It was produced by Brendan O'Brien and released on June 19, 2001, by Atlantic Records.

Overview
Shangri-La Dee Da was originally planned to be a double album, 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. Shangri-La Dee Da, although being certified Gold by the RIAA and the CRIA, was a commercial disappointment for the band after the success of their first four albums.

Planned double album
In late 2000, lead singer Scott Weiland said that the band planned to record a double album. Shortly after work got underway, bassist Robert DeLeo said that goal looked realistic, stating:
"Scott's in a space right now where we're not cramming to just get a single record done — he's in a space where I think a double record is possible."
The band's label, Atlantic, was hesitant about the idea and the band eventually conceded.
