There oughta be a Buckethead survivor with all of his solo albums

. But how would you decide which songs goes to finals? So hard.

zxlkho · « **Reply #108 on:** January 09, 2011, 02:02:47 PM »

That would never work. There are way too many albums.

jsem · « **Reply #109 on:** January 09, 2011, 02:17:57 PM »

30 Solo studio albums. Oh yeah, some of his songs are short like 20 sec songs - but looking at like his first album on wiki you can see that the songs can easily be grouped into a longer "epic". Might be possible - though deciding the best songs will be hard.

So, the only Buckethead album I've heard is Crime Slunk Scene. I find it pretty entertaining, but it doesn't totally "wow" me. How does that album rank in comparison to his other stuff?

lateralus88 · « **Reply #111 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:36:42 PM »

I really like Crime Slunk Scene, but it is pretty standard as a Buckethead album. He has a large handful of better material.

Refer to the ultimate post of "SO LOL WHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO", aka the OP.

If you want a quick answer, it will always be Albino Slug, from me at least.

jsem · « **Reply #113 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:52:40 PM »

Crime Slunk is avg except for Soothsayer which is a God Tier song imo.

Yeah, I'm going to use that post to make my next album choice. I was just curious how well-regarded Crime Slunk Scene was.

Pretty much sums it up. Soothsayer might be my favorite Buckethead song ever.

pogoowner · « **Reply #116 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:58:31 PM »

Wow, physical copies of some of his albums are expensive. On Amazon, at least.

You won't find them all there, but you can get a few of them for about $15. You may have to turn to alternative means for the rest.

Good review. I'm looking forward to the Colma review.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #120 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:26:55 PM »

So am I. I fucking love Colma.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #121 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:29:11 PM »

Colma deserves a 7/5 for Hills of Eternity alone. The rest is just an added bonus

.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #122 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:30:22 PM »

Colma is going to be the first album where it's going to be hard to pick a favorite song and an overall rating.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #123 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:31:23 PM »

Well it has Hills of Eternity on it. So it shouldn't be too hard of a decision.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #124 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:32:35 PM »

Well yes but it also has Whitewash, For Mom, Ghost, Machete, Wishing Well, and Watching the Boats With My Dad.

And Bermuda Triangle was posted a long time ago. I'm not sure why I neglected to bump the thread.

EDIT: Bucketheadland 2 posted.

Necrobump.

Buckethead is awesome. I currently have Electric Sea, Electric Tears, Colma, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, Pepper's Ghost, Look Up There, Inbred Mountain and Population Override. And while I dig his softer stuff, I just love it when he completely lets loose on the insanity (e.g. the whole of Inbred Mountain).

Mindflux · « **Reply #132 on:** April 01, 2013, 08:52:10 AM »

I have most of his catalog up until about 2007 or so... He was releasing stuff so fast I just couldn't keep up.
Great stuff though

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #133 on:** April 01, 2013, 10:37:08 AM »

Those are great albums. I had found INSEARCHOFTHE, its ok has some cool songs but overall its mainly just jams and noodling...I was thinking of selling it

Lowdz · « **Reply #134 on:** September 26, 2015, 11:42:08 AM »

So, as Buckethead is more prolific than a sex maniac Catholic, is anyone in DTFland an expert on the Pikes?
Which are the best?
I prefer him when he's not being weird.

Scorpion · « **Reply #135 on:** September 26, 2015, 11:52:18 AM »

I like Look Up There, but I don't really know the majority of Pikes, so...

Kotowboy · « **Reply #136 on:** September 26, 2015, 03:12:43 PM »

Bucket head releases more albums a year than Tool write songs.

Nel · « **Reply #137 on:** September 26, 2015, 09:01:05 PM »

Every time I look, I swear he's put out like twenty more albums. Jeeeezus.

Madman Shepherd · « **Reply #138 on:** September 28, 2015, 04:10:30 PM »

I really only like 1/3 of Buckethead's albums so I only have, like, 60 to listen to.

The best thing to do with the Pikes is just to devote an hour or two and just listen to samples from each one. I only like the mellow or metal BH albums so I avoid the funk, the shredding, the 30 minutes of weird noises, and whatever other crap.

I really only buy physical CDs but those Pikes are expensive and no matter the length of a track, they are $.99 on amazon. So I have gotten a few Pikes (2 tracks, 30 minutes in length) as downloads for $1.98. Add to it that for prime members you can choose "no rush" shipping and get $1 in digital music credits.

If all else fails, check out the Pike Suggester https://decino.nl/?p=pikesuggester

Hey that is really useful! Will definitely check out Buckethead further using that.

First stop: The Spirit Winds (I'm feeling noodly).
