Probably the best album to never see the, official, light of day.
Amazing stuff IMO.... the single best post-Kyuss output.
might agree with the first statement.
second statement is FALSE
I think some of the Raging Slab unreleased albums(!) are pretty damn good too.
I was referring to projects with members of the kyuss players.... guess I was a little vague.
Well you did say best album not to see the light of day and Raging Slab does have 2 or 3...
It IS a great album though.

understood, just don't agree. would have at one point but after several years of listening to it it hasn't held up quite as well as say Jalamanta for me. absolutely a sick album though. listened to it this afternoon
My vote would be for the first Queens of the Stoneage album.

I go between the UNIDA unreleased album and QOTSA s/t. Both are in my top ten STONER ROCK albums.

........Unida
my favorite unida song:)
i'll raise you this little nugget to...................
Can't go wrong with either song there :)
fuck yeah UNIDA!
i don't like that song Slaylina or whatever. But overall, fucking killer. Coping With the Urban Coyote is their most perfect release, though, of the three records. I think.
Jalamanta.
QOTSA.
Rated R.
Che - Sounds of Liberation
Keep Your Cool
lots of good ones!
Johns voice has been getting better and better but if I had to rate the post Kyuss releases I'd go for;
Brant Bjork - Jalamanta
Slo Burn - Amusing the Amazing/Demos
Qotsa - S/T
Che - Sounds of Liberation
Unida - Coping with the Urban Coyote
Yeah, how's that for weird? John's voice progressively gets better...

Agree with all of these, but I'd have to add Brant Bjork and the Bros - Somera Sol. Love that album.
live brant is nifty, too

What is this release? I've never heard of it.
Hey dude welcome to the board. Where ya from? You must be new to the scene to have missed out on the unreleased unida album.

Thank you. I'm from the desert. I thought The Great Division was the unreleased album? I thought I had that somewhere. I've heard it before. I'm thoroughly confused now.
Massachusetts is the desert ???
atm for school only. Of course no deserts, only 2 much cold. Cant wait to 2b in AZ for Xmass

this is the same as the Great Divide
While on the topic, anyone have a lossless (silver cd copy) of the 15 track version of this. I have a flac copy of the 11 track version but would like a high quality version of the additional tracks.

Did they actually release a 15 track version of this. I to have the flac(s) from the 11 track version, however I was under the impression that that was the only release.
Downloaded it. Guess it's okay? But not as good as Seachin For the Urban Coyote, thank you all for the info
Will I think they sold 15 (sometimes 16) track versions at shows. (the 16th track was the cool song from the high times comp tacked on the end)

Really? Damn, I need to get myself a hold of one of those. If I ever do, I'll certainly rip it in flac for you.
I'm no authority on the subject. Read: I could be completely wrong.
I have the LP. Oh yeah.
DIGITAL VINYL
Those boys need to work on their fade outs - jarring as is.
That was the problem I had with the mp3 version (15 songs). Some of the songs felt cut before they were ended.

The leak we all got was not mastered, so the songs just stop abruptly, rather than fade out or whatever they were going to do in the studio with Rick Rubin.
I like the album, it's just kinda jarring because of the big time production.
I prefer Coping, and the 1st Hermano to this.

I'm pretty sure they were just fucked up mp3's because the 11 track lossless version doesn't do that on any tracks.
yeah mine don't cut off weird at all
and libbycaps must have a google alert for "digital vinyl"
The 15 track edition was as far a I know an early MP3 only leak containing most of the songs on the 2 "official" CDr but less polished, with a couple of other tracktitles and with the addition of known songs like Thorn and Wet Pussycat
Then they sold (at least) 2 CDr editions at shows. One with 10 songs during the second European Hermano tour (Angry American tour) called El Coyote in 2004. And also a USA version with 11 songs.
At least one bootleg LP has been released (mad man's ruin records in 2007) with 10 tracks.
I'm voting for that to be the correct info.
One (probably ;)) last addition:
The European version was sold in a white paper sleeve and had the bandname lasered on the CDr.
The American version came in a slimline jewel case. The cover showed the bandlogo with the four musician names. The back of the paper contained the tracklist.
The song Puppet Man is the same as Coffee Cong on the 15 track MP3 leak.
US Edition
Tracks: 11
Year: 2003
1. Puppet Man

3. Summer (US Exclusive)
4. King (US Exclusive)

Then, a couple of years ago, I came accross a CDr with 12 tracks which contained as an extra the Left Us To Mold track (high times comp) but I don't know if this was ever "officially" sold by the band.
The Mad Man's Ruin bootleg vinyl release came in a couple of different colors for the vinyl. I think the pressing quantity was 200 for each color. Not 100% sure about this though.

I've been looking for something I haven't heard in a long time. Reread this thread and decided this is what I'm going to listen to when I go smoke my after work joint.
Fucking awesome album. Damn shame it wasn't released properly, but many of us get to love it, so that's plenty good enough. Got to see Unida live a few years ago in Hollywood, that was pretty god damn incredible.
I think the best non-Kyuss/post-Kyuss album is Amusing the Amazing, along with Jalamanta which I could listen to every day for the next 50 years and be plenty happy. I also have a particular soft spot for Songs for the Deaf, love it.
Hope nobody minds me bumping an old thread. I mean it is Unida so I figured that should be okay. ;)

Yeah, how's that for weird? John's voice progressively gets better...
I did an interview with John in 2011. He told me that he thinks his performance on the Kyuss albums are really poor. I agree with you, I think nowadays his voice is stronger than ever, but I really like what he did back in the day, specially in Sky Valley.
He was definitely buried in the mud of the Kyuss sound on their albums.

Yeah, but wasnt that part of the whole Kyuss sound? I mean, I dont want a kyuss album with John sounding like Ian Astbury in The Cult.

Oh, totally, I appreciate both but because he's not as good on the kyuss stuff I really appreciate the quality of the vocals on the later UNIDA stuff. (Plus the Reeder bass is just incredible.)

well said.
You know when George Drakoulias and Rick Rubin are producing something its going to be amazing.
Add one of the best rock guitarists around and John Garcias chords...well?? /thread.
Here is the best song imo

My vote would be for the first Queens of the Stoneage album.
agreed. or even the Kyuss/QotsA split. Also love Che - diff vibe all together tho
I'll have to listen to the Vista Chino now to compare.... I like his singing a lot.
Saw them open up for Fu Manchu at the Galaxy club in Dallas after the first album just came out. Loved it. Unfortunately, Garcia was so drunk he couldn't stand up much less sing.

Their performance at the first ShoD Arizona was stellar.
Never got to see them. More's the pity. Coping with the Urban Coyote is my favorite album from the Kyuss family of bands. I like it better than anything Kyuss ever did (which isn't to say that I don't dig Kyuss, cuz I do), and I like it better than anything else any of the Kyuss guys went on to do. Great, great album.
Let's not get crazy. He was a young kid when he was in Kyuss.
I don't know MJS when I revist "Coping" I thing it's better than I remember and stands up even after many years passed.
On to the Man's Ruin thread.
Saw Unida several times. Always a great show. Vista Chino in 2013 was unbelievably great. I have tinnitus now cuz of it.
I would say John Garcia is my favorite singer. He's kind of sexy.
I disagree.

You don't think John Garcia is shaft's favorite singer?
I would say he is not Shaft's favorite.
Madonna?
Katy Perry.
