In My Top 5...

"Coming from a longtime stoner rocker, especially the psych end, they are in my top 5 with Kyuss, 7zuma7, 35007 and Colour Haze. Lowrider is Sweden's finest. I love this band and play them on my internet radio station."

"If you like Unida you will dig these guys. They rock as hard and have a great sound. Awesome guitar tone and unlike the other reviewer I think the vocals are pretty darn good and fit the music. I give them five stars because although this isn't the most innovative work they make a tremendous effort here and definetly satisfy my hunger for riffage and grooves. The production is also excellent. Rock On.........."

"Kyuss didn't come out with enough material to satisfy their many rabid fans and bands like Lowrider rightly came in to fill the void. When a band like Kyuss attracts a voracious cult following, there should be bands that see that style as an orthodoxy and make more music in the same basic tradition. How many bands ripped off the Ramones and Sex Pistols? About a gazillion. And thats fine. These guys know how to deliver the goods. Every song has crushingly heavy riffs and a satisfying payoff. In fact, Caravan is the most listened to song on my Ipod and Shivaree (from Lowrider's split EP with Nebula) is in a close second place! If you love Kyuss, and you don't own this album, you're needlessly denying yourself a great pleasure.
Unfortunately, Lowrider disbanded before they could really forge their own identity--but keep an eye out for "I Are Droid" which features the vocalist/bassist from Lowrider and the drummer from Dozer. These guys are putting something together right now in a somewhat different vein. And, given Lowrider's talent, I expect it to be good.
