Buckethead's perennially underrated third record features his shred-tastic playing atop synth bass-heavy, jungle drum-laden techno beats. It's a far cry from his previous two outings of abusement park extravaganza, but The Day of the Robot's unique combination of metal shred guitar and drum 'n' bass backing (courtesy of the UK-based DJ Ninj) really works. Produced by Bill Laswell.
