5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

3/27/2017 - Review by: Eric Compton
Acoustic desert rock album from one of the genre's pioneers
John Garcia is known for his contribution to Kyuss, Slo-Burn, Hermano, etc. Arguably he is one of the leading pioneers for the stoner and desert rock movement. His first solo effort came in 2014 and Napalm records released this follow-up in January of 2017. I like the unplugged stuff really well and Garcia offers that throughout these nine songs. It's laid-back but has a little bit of punch with some sharper strings and Garcia's emotionally charged higher tones. I've had "Green Machine" on repeat for days. It's like Mustasch meets Danzig meets "Rooster". Recommended for those days when it doesn't have to be on 10.
Recommended for fans of: Kyuss, Mustasch, Operator
