the other Buckethead cd i have is colma, which is not like this one at all. this disc is all crunchy breakbeats and warped, distorted noises. a lot more underground hip hop influences in this record, it's more along the lines of his collabs with DJ Qbert and his work in El Stew. A very cool album all in all, i reccomend it to anyone who's into the underground experimental scene occupied by dudes like those listed above.

Its seeming like most of the innovative , creative overall ability of the main stream music's source is being sucked into Bucketheads guitar .Kind of like a bermuda triangle .I find this cd and others of his to be refreshing and a bit refreshingly weird .Most bands are trying to hard to be known as the wierd or twisted band but its only obvious that they are trying to hard to be the best twisted folks on the scene with painted faces , screaming lyrics and instantly turns me off .When you listen to a BH cd you listen to genuinely creative and cool tunes with a techno vibe often . BH's tunes come out the speakers as being 100% genuine voyages into sonic exploration without the fake in your face , notice me crap bousted by the main stream .The no lyrics fact is also refreshing , just jamming guitar .I like his use of diminished scales for that eery vibe .

I am a huge fan of buckethead, I love everything the guy does regardless of how farfetch'd it is.But this cd was a real dissappointment. His guitar skills are hardly showcased on this release which is bad enough, but many tracks on this thing are just a bunch of dj noise. Even all the drum beats were sampled so Brain had little involvement with this album. This pretty much sounds like something he just threw together just for the hell of throwing something together, which is a shame because anyone who has heard buck play knows that he's capable of so much more.Only pick this up if you are a serious collector. I believe it is already out of print, but it is available on Buck's site.

yet another experimental masterpiece created by buckethead...........taking the guitar and all it's abilities to all extremities.......buy it now......trust me.

this is yet another one of buckets great masterpieces.....every song sounds exactly like the title....buckethead is so creative it's not funny......this is definetely the "new music" or should be......buckethead just seems to put me in those mooooods.....if you know what i mean.....for true buckethead fans out there ..........this is amazing.....definetely kicks _ Vai, satriani, and Petrucci's [toosh] anytime......bucketheads skillz is too advanced for some to truly understand....you have to know him......buy this cd.......now.....buy.

I'm not convinced that Buckethead is the new savior of music as some people seem to believe. He certainly makes good use of his guitar effects, but underneath the distortion I'm not sure he's doing anything that hasn't been done before. Sometimes, if you listen closely, he can even be a teensy bit sloppy. I certainly don't hear a ground-breaker like Vernon Reid or Tom Morello, but I will admit that I'm not a guitar player.

On the other hand, Buckethead clearly IS very, very good and this album is a WILD one. The simmering electronic landscape is rich with weird sounds, bubbling effects and hybrid hip-hop/alternative beats. Buckethead plays to the songs and is sometimes subtle, but when he does take a solo it's mind-blowing. I've never heard music quite like this!

Why would Buckethead waste time with buns 'n' hoses? Must've needed money.

1st off,tom morello "guitarist jello"has nothing on buckethead!he's pretty mediocre at most-definately not a ground breaker!jimi really wasn't much better than buck either.

Otherwise he would have focused more on shred and good times then this. Sorry that's all I got to say.

he's tight and all but he covers nothing that jimi hendrix and eddie hazel has'nt alreeady did.
