It's been five long years -- which must have seemed even longer to their ever-stoned fan base -- since the
Kottonmouth Kings released a volume in their odds and sods
Hidden Stash series. Five years and the outtakes, remixes, and collabos can pile up so it's no big surprise
Hidden Stash III sprawls across two CDs and one DVD. The big shame is the lack of substantial liner notes, but this is a small price to pay for 36 songs and 20 videos. Partying, rebelling, and smoking bales of weed are the main topics with one "we making money" and "no one swagger-jacking" track offering the diversions. This is way too big and way too redundant to convince any newcomers that
the Kings are worthy. Fans, however, believe bigger is better, which must mean this is the best, at least as far as the
Hidden Stash series goes.
