Awesome debut mini-album from 2 ex-members of acclaimed stoner rockers (I hate that name, so from here on out, I will not use the genre term) Fu Manchu.

The fuzzed-out swirling and furious guitars of Eddie Glass are most prevalent here, making every track almost too enjoyable to listen to! There ain't a bad tune in the bunch (though my copy doesn't have the extra tracks), and "Down the Highway" and "Let it Burn" are the biggest and baddest of the 6 contained here. Also of particular note is "Elevation," which is a completely rocking opener. Eddie also takes on the vocal chores here, and unlike other reviewers, I like 'em. Hill from the abovementioned Manchu'ers he ain't, but that's ok. Nebula has carved out their own little niche in this growing retro-rock genre, and this is merely the starting point for it.

The only downpoint for me, and the reason this is 4, not 5 stars, is the way too long Zeppelin ripoff "Raga in the Bloodshot Pyramid." It's cool for about 90 seconds, then it's 4 minutes too long. Eh, 5 out of 6 ain't bad at all.

If you dig this album (like I do), go get charged. Nebula becomes immaculate.

Nebula are simply the BEST new band I've heard in years! After leaving FU MANCHU, these guys prove that they can write, play & blow minds way better than their former employer. Every track on this cd ( with the exception on the Middle-Eastern styles of " Raga") knocks me . . . EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT! I just can't get enough. Go see them live, too. They are the HEAVIEST 3 piece this side of the Mississippi. Be sure to get Every title by these guys, too, because they are all top notch. Enjoy!

Nebula is one of those bands that should be much bigger than they are.True,they do have a loyal following of stoner rock and doomheads,but outside of Cathedral and Black Sabbath fans,Nebula is largely unheard of.Let It Burn is a rare album just because it has the sort of down in the pants boogie you just don't find in today's artists at large.For a debut release,this is about as close to flawless as I would most likely ever hear.Truly not a bad tune in the bunch,and enough attitude to keep me interested.Not bad fellas,not bad indeed.41/2 stars.Just keep that hard rock a'comin.

Two problems with this CD: First it sounds like it was recorded on a casette deck, the quality of the sound is too muddy. This in turn leads to problem two: get someone that can sing, maybe the quality of the recording makes the vocals sound weak but the vocals sound strained. I'm not a stickler for singing ability but its weak. Also don't try to sound like Scott Hill because when you do it reveals your limitations. I will say it was a good effort , I just keep thinking how good this CD could have been.

Uh, mmm, yeah; it is Scott Hill you doofus. Nebula is Scott Hill's side project.

This album does not suck. If doom sound with Southern CA lyrical content (chicks, cars, bikes, boards, etc) is your thang then not only is Nebula for you, but Scott Hill's main band Fu Manchu, is for you too.

If this album (or any album for that matter) sounds muddy, you need to turn the bass down (just a wee bit) and the volume up or just get a better stereo that can handle all of the many frequencies created when we play a little frigging rock and roll.

People who want to be depressed by music and think that rock and roll means cutting yourself and wearing make up need not even try listening to this high quality good ol' American hard rock.

That is all.

ex-members of fu-manchu, re-grouped as nebula, its great!

this band has to be good although i havent heard it yet......i cant find it.any band that EDDIE GLASS is involved in has to be good.

This is an amature wannabe blue cheer knock off that sounds contrived. The CHROME LOCUST record is what this album wants to be.
