"I'm not sure of this but I do believe that this is the first band that ex-Kyuss vocalist John Garcia played in (after Kyuss disbanded.) This has become a good thing for all the former band members particularly for this man here. The music is heavy rocking but serves more as an accompaniment for Garcia's vocals. Garcia's singing is far better on this EP than any of the Kyuss albums except for maybe Sky Valley. This guy's voice is aging well sounds more dramatic and is going beyond the semi-restrained yelling of older days. "Pilot the Dune" by itself should make you a believer as it did with me and "July" is another awesome tune."

"This is the only release Slo Burn ever put out. John Garcia from Kyuss is the singer, along with 3 guys I've never heard of. People say this band had great potential and was brilliant and all that but when I first heard the EP I thought "People were just looking for anything that reminded them of Kyuss, they were in shock because Kyuss was gone. That's why they liked this." I thought it was uninspired and really nohing special. But man did it grow on me. As it turns out, these are some really great songs, maybe not works of art but definitely they rock. And the thing that does it is Garcia's vocals a lot more than the music. Really catchy stuff without being mainstream. Maybe these guys had something going for them after all. If you liked Kyuss, check it out. If you like rock, check it out."
