The tracks are well thought-out, witty, melodic, heartfelt, just the perfect listening experience when one does not feel like dipping too deep into the murky lands of experimentation explored by Big B on his previous releases. The first six songs are commonly considered to be perfection among Bucketbots, and I do not question that statement. Without further ado, on to the music itself. The remaining cuts are a different story, though. That fact is easily justified – this is, by far, Buckethead’s best ‘mainstream’ outing till now, and even I, the ‘Big B mainstream outing hater’ tend to get a crack out of listening to the first six tracks, and that’s definitely saying something! The songs on here have a certain spark, they seem to have been really fun for Big B, who put a lot of heart and thought into them. This was originally a tour-only, but the demand for this album was so high that it ended up being made available to the public other tour-only records followed suit rather quickly. Extensive usage of the whammy pedal and killswitch throughout. Review Summary: A record that should be considered as two separate entities - the first half is a very listener-friendly collection of catchy tunes, and the remaining tracks are rather experimental.
