Release Date: 2013 | Tracklist

Review Summary: Sorry, Buckethead, but I need to write this.

I can safely say that 2013 is one of the saddest years for Buckethead. I feel sorry for the guy who was once a guitarist who was stupendous, phenomenal and exciting riffs . And for that reason, I decided to stop talking to myself, rise my butt off the couch and write this.

I know many fans will attack me, saying "but Buckethead made ​​several albums this year." Yes, but are albums that do not have the quality of an old album. This collection of riffs that have been submitted each album, always with the same sound, without any emotion (except Telescape , which can be considered a gem in the midst of so much garbage). It Smells Like Frog shows everything bad that is in their albums this year. Everything that happens here are riffs without much creativity and excitement.

Before, when Buckethead released an album, was a boundless excitement because we knew it would be a good album. Now, in 2013, every week there's a new album to be sold. It is no longer a surprise, it's just another album that will show us the same things that we are used from the beginning of the year.

I think if you 're not doing it just to make money by launching a limited edition of all albums for $ 25. Please Buckethad, wait a minute .To be honest, I wish you did not throw anything for about 6 months. I'm sure your creativity would be renewed, and the fans would be surprised by an album that could say a lot about musicality and creativity. Now, with the sound that your albums are showing, I would not pay even $ 1 for download. I know there are fans who will lick your balls even if you throw anything, but I'm not, and I'm sure there are many fans who also want to back that creativity. Fu*k the year 2013. Fu*k Buckethead 2013.

As fast Buckethead is tossing stuff out this year, every other album still shows some level of merit if you ask me

I agree I wish he'd take a break, but it's not like everything he puts out in like 15 minutes is garbage.

The mellow stuff hasn't let me down yet. In terms of skills, these records are ace most of the times, but yeah, he could've trimmed a lot of the material.



I love Electric Sea [2] , plus Pearson's Square, Pikes 13 and Blue Lotus.

Some albums are good, but every 5 albums of Buckethead this year, one is really good (see Pearson's Square), the other is a shit (see Pumpkin) and the other three do not have anything special (see The Pit, Feathers and Halls of Dimension).

True that, for each awesome record there are 3-4 that don't offer anything special.

"Yes, but are albums that do not have the quality of an old album."

This sentence makes no sense. Other than that review is mostly ok

I just downloaded Twisterlend, it seems to be some more heavy stuff.

Ironic that the reviewer criticizes Buckethead for lack of effort in his recent albums in a review laden with errors.

Sorry for the mistakes, but I do not speak English fluently, so I need to use some help from translators, which by the way does not do a very good service.

Not exactly the most professional review starter.

It's cool dude. Sorry if I came off like an asshole. I do agree with you with regards to Buckethead's releases this year, to an extent.
