LA RECENSIONE
Ahhh, John Garcia. What can I say about him, his magical past (Kyuss), his unmistakable voice: He would say Unida, his new project in the present! 8 tracks of honest and exquisite stoner rock, excellent production from Man's Ruin, and the revival of the great voice of Kyuss. Overall, Unida's sound is very heavy, sometimes a bit too heavy and repetitive, especially in the early tracks, but "Black Woman," "If Only Two," "Nervous," and "Dwarf It" - the latter part of the album - hold up well against stoner rock icons like QOTSA, Nebula, and Fu Manchu. Unfortunately, you won't find the psychedelic atmospheres that made us love J.Homme in Kyuss, but all in all, they're a good purchase to recommend to the nostalgic and, in any case, to lovers of the genre. djd

Summary by Bot
John Garcia returns with Unida delivering eight heavy stoner rock tracks showcasing his unmistakable voice. Despite some repetitiveness early on, the latter songs shine and hold their own against genre icons. While it lacks Kyuss's psychedelic feel, the album offers solid production and is highly recommended for fans and stoner rock enthusiasts.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
01 Thorn (03:14)
Do you wanna say goodbye to your best friend, your buddy?
Never wanted to slap your girl, she's your money
I said love, only love
You spread your wings and you fly with the best
it's so bloody, it's so bloody
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
Take your time, take your hate out
I can tell you, it's a lady's game
You take a life of shit
oh man, you almost went insane
Love, only love
No one cares, and you lie to yourself
It's the wrong place, it's the wrong face
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
Love, only love
You spread your wings, and you fly with the best
It's so bloody, it's so bloody
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
Love, whoa love, you wanna survive
02 Black Woman (05:14)
Ride with me baby
Just ride all night long. yeah. (well alright)
Heavy like my lady
Just fly all night long. yeah. (right on)
Some say that your crazy
That doesnt mean my face is always blue. Yeah (alright)
Chorus:
Should it be the answer should it be a sun?
Should it be the boy you never call your gun (yeah)?
Should it be the intro should it be the sun?
Can it be the black girl you never call at one?
So can you find my lady
Can you justify the love you see tonight? yeah. (right on)
So fly with me baby. just fly all night long. (right on) *uhh*
(Chorus x1)
You got it on, you got it on
Get it get it you got it
Black Woman... Yeah
04 Human Tornado (04:22)
Smile
The smile you used
you choose this hard life
yeah
Get in
The villain stole your true love
And the room
The room, the room that he gave you his hand
And bottle
The bottle he used was just a little heavier
Man never again
Never again
Will you refuse this face
Smoking
Smoke in his eyes and your love was like
Gold and riding
You thought of riding home alone
And the loop
The loop
The loop that he gave you was planned
And bottle
The bottle he used was just a little heavier
Man
Never again, never again
Will you refuse this fuckin face
07 Dwarf It (02:33)
Too many nights I said
too many love the two ton bed
When you cry yourself to sleep
next to your love that doesn't care
And you are the answer
to your own secrets in your head
so, so, so, so f**kin sad
Too many nights I said
too many love the two ton bed
And you cried yourself to sleep
'cause your love is always scared
And you are the answer
to your own secrets in your head
so, so, so, so f**kin sad

By farmit
This album is, in my humble opinion, one of the best releases in the stoner genre.
'Black Woman' is a breathless 5-minute run, so powerful and intense that you almost feel like you could sink your fingers into the flesh of this woman who turned John’s head.
