Burn the Street Vol. 3, like all the other compilations that have come out this year (and years past), is a high end, professional mix CD for friends, with �friends� being fans of the genre. The whole purpose of compilations like this is to share music and hopefully turn people on to new acts previously unheard. There were actually a surprising amount of new bands (for me) on here and they show the variety within the stoner rock genre. For every �classic� sounding band like Nebula or Dozer, there�s a Sparzanza or a Chum. As for the tracks that I�ve heard before, mention has to go to Hermano, Milligram, and Greatdayforup. As far as mixes go, they�re good inclusions. The Hermano song will be new to most, Greatdayforup are a hard rock band rapidly gaining recognition, and if you aren�t familiar with Milligram, their track should convince you to do so.

Burn the Streets Vol. 3 is a solid release. It�s got a good combination of new and established acts, and there are enough �compilation only� songs to warrant picking it up.
