A total blast of a record. I love the circuit bending, and there are a ton of fantastic riffs throughout the album that are... well... fantastic. Phenomenal production as well. Granted, "The Sticker on Hallucinogens" is one of Buckethead's worst songs, but it's under two minutes long, and when the rest of the album is as excellent as it is, its presence is just a minor blemish. The record's other flaw is that some of the songs get lost in the shuffle ("Breakfast Cyborg," "Rack Maintenance") but the whole album is so creative and unique that, again, this flaw can be forgiven somewhat.
