All of the Buckethead goodness swirls around on this album, and honestly, it pretty much never gets old. Sanders aka Red Track Suit" and "Electronic Slight of Hand" throat-punch you with a bout of craziness, but the famous "Soothsayer" takes your soul and caresses it with beautiful rhythms and empowering solos. "Mad Monster Party" has a very creepy, haunting vibe that succeeds in being interesting without overdoing anything while songs like "King James" have a very powerful, victorious aura. Big B lets his guitar do all of the talking, and whether it is conveyed through thick, funky riffs or sweet soaring solos, he delivers everything spectacularly.īuckethead can sometimes push the envelope a bit far, but here he leashes his insanity just enough to keep things enjoyable without ruining his musical canvas. These songs each seem to have a story within, but there are no vocals to express them. "The Fairy and the Devil" is a great example of this the song features a rather unorthodox main riff that has soothing and entrancing riffs swirling around above everything. These songs have an interesting allure to them that might be a bit off-putting at first, but you can't help but be sucked in. If you want to know what Buckethead sounds like, this album should be one of your first listens. So what is Buckethead? Expect catchy riffs, long solo sections, funky solos, a few atonal ramblings, lots of killswitch noodling, and a heaping spoonful of wackiness. This album pretty much sums up what Big B is all about, it just reeks of that classic Buckethead essence.Ĭrime Slunk Scene is basically Buckethead being Buckethead. There is no other album that captures and expresses this unique style like Crime Slunk Scene does. However, there is a specific genre of music that you can't really describe without simply addressing it as "Buckethead". When it comes to his peaceful material, you could say Colma, while Pepper's Ghost could be the primary ambassador for his riff-happy metal material. With Buckethead's ever expanding sea of music, it's hard to try to pinpoint a single album that can define his style.
