To no one’s surprise, the best post-Kyuss John Garcia album is the one that sounds the most like Kyuss. Not enough, though. That attitude isn’t quite there on Coping With the Urban Coyote. Unida has that fuzzy, psychedelic guitar tone, but it’s so mild with how low in the mix it’s buried, and how it isn’t complemented by unconventional song structures.

This is a fairly typical stoner rock riff-fest, but it’s one of the better at what it does, and there are at least hints of something deeper—but only ever hints. There are a few pointlessly-long songs here too, once again lacking the strange trips of Kyuss’s songs to justify the mileage spent.
