Buckethead's best metal album, and a strong contender for his best album, period.

Nothing new here-- it's all the traditional Buckethead brand of experimental rock/metal-- but there are some solid compositions ("Ghost Host," "I Can Only Carry 50 Chickens at a Time," "Stretching Lighthouse"). There aren't many solos, but there are plenty of lightning fast riffs, and when Big B does break into a solo it's inevitably excellent (see again "Ghost Host"). The record meanders too much, though ("Hall of Scalding Vats"), and it feels a little stale on the whole.

Along with The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, this is my favorite Buckethead release. Granted I haven't heard every last one of his albums (that's a project in itself), but still this album epitomizes everything that's to love about Buckethead. You got the shredding, the emotional playing, and his avant-garde side. This is probably the easiest Buckethead album to get into because it's not too "out there", but that also makes it one enjoyable listen. Great album to start with if you're just getting into Buckethead's vast discography. This is one of the strongest efforts from one of todays most criminally underrated musicians.
