Unida's debut album Coping with the Urban Coyote marks a sharp musical turn for singer/songwriter/guitarist John Garcia, toward straight-ahead hard rock and away from his artier work in Kyuss and Slo Burn. Songs like "Thorn" and "Blackwoman" are loud, propulsive rock excursions, featuring Garcia's emotive, classic rock singing, and only the relatively gentle finale "You Wish" sees Unida vary from the tried-and-true hard rock formula. ~ Heather Phares

Alternative Press (12/99, p.120) - 4 out of 5 - "...a hard-rock tour de force featuring sand-encrusted riffs, blistering solos, seismic rhythms and Garcia's signature wail....easily captures the title of most formidable voice in hard rock today...."
