Title: Bucketheadland
Post by: matt on April 07, 2007, 02:26:40 PM
What does Bucketheadland sound like? I ordered it along with Bermuda Triangle and i\'m wondering what to expect from it.

Theres not a whole lot of music on it, but the music thats is there is awesome.  If you got the import, than you\'ll get the remix disc too.  Its sort of a theme/concept album with a lot of samples.  All in all, its a tour of Bucketheadland with some rides still under construction.  ;)

Computer Master is an amazing track, well worth the price of the cd alone.  8)

I don\'t really listen to this one or Bucketheadland 2 at all.  Maybe I\'m in the minority, but I just prefer music to voice-overs and samples, most of which are pretty silly, let\'s face it.  I mean, the Park Theme is still great, but it kinda goes downhill from there IMO.  

But then again, I don\'t really listen to any of his early stuff at all -- for me the solo catalog pretty much begins with Giant Robot NTT, so take that as you will.  Of course the early Praxis albums are still great, though.

Bucketheadland 2 was the second buckethead cd I ever owned, the first being electric tears. I was amazed by how crazy it was. It\'s so obvious that Buckethead didn\'t care what people thought he was having fun. Then when I eventually bought bucketheadland I was amazed again.

You see since Bucketheadland was the first actual Buckethead cd, it was a way bigger risk. Instead of making something tons of people would be apt to listen to, he did something that he liked, something that he wanted. That label must have been crazy to sign him, but it is a damn good thing he did

Anyway both are great albums, you just have to be in the mood to cut someone into PIECESSSS!!!!!

Earlier in this thread it\'s mentioned that there\'s not a whole lot of music on this disc. I\'ve gotta disagree with that, I think there\'s quite a bit of music on the disc. True, it does have a bit of theme oriented stuff, but everything just flows together. I\'ve gotta say I\'m a bigger fan of the first Bucketheadland even though I dig em both. Definitely some classic tunes, a MUST have.

Bucketheadland 3 would be RAAAAAD.

Bucket doesn\'t have to put out an album any time soon. As far as I\'m concerned, he has given us enough for now.

Spoken like a true genius I must say, there\'s not a thing that tops owning a piece of music history like the actual cd, just owning mp3\'s of it (either bought or illegally downloaded) is just soulless and boring if you ask me. Not a single album on my harddrive that\'s illegally downloaded, I prefer getting the actual album and cover art and everything.

That\'s like saying you own a Picasso, but instead you just took a photo of the Picasso with your digital camera, printed it out and put it in a frame. Same thing.  8)

Enjoy Bucketheadland and Bermuda Triangle, matey! They\'re both amazing albums if you ask me. Tracks like Computer Master and Sea of Expanding Shapes are just pure gold must-have\'s. I actually like Bermuda Triangle a BIT more than Bucketheadland, but that\'s probably just me.  ;)

Yeah, I like Bermuda a bit more as well.

I don\'t have Bucketheadland. I heard a few short things. Is it a bit like Giant Robot? I like that album.

I\'d say it\'s like a mix between Giant Robot and Bucketheadland 2. It\'s even got a couple of songs that are also on Giant Robot, for instance the first track (Park Theme) went on to become Welcome to Bucketheadland on Giant Robot. So they\'re both more or less the same track, they just sound slightly different.

Then there\'s also the more "bizarre" tracks that are on Bucketheadland 2 as well, just strange little ditties that aren\'t really songs. They\'re just not as "far out" as the ones on Bucketheadland 2 are, and there\'s not as much "talking" parts like on BHL2.

Overall, it\'s a very good album, but the production could have been better. Hard to say if it\'s one of his best albums, some say it is, but it\'s definitely not his worst album and it\'s got tracks that are just must-haves like Computer Master and Giant Robot Theme.

Just gotta have the OG Gorey Head Stump, bobba. Home Run theme satisfies every time. Some trippy wedges on the first ever Bucketheadland.

He coulda killed more if he had a better hook n pole gang  >:(

Let us hope we see a Bucketheadland III before we die. It\'d be like dying before Stephen King could finish The Dark Tower  :\'(  What if Albert retired before the completion of Bucketheadland?  :o :o

I agree that we definitely need to see a Bucketheadland 3, as all great things come in three\'s. It would be divine to see a third installment, so I\'m hoping that this will be a Bucketheadland trilogy.

Doing a bit of math, seeing as Bucketheadland was released in 1992 and Bucketheadland 2 was released in 2003.. that\'s 11 years apart. Could this possibly mean that Buckethead will hold off a potential Bucketheadland 3 until 2014? That would make things go full circle I would say, but that\'s still 7 years away then.

Or will Buckethead break the span of the first two and release it sooner (if he ever will, that is..), only time will tell.  8)
