I love my new leg warmer !!!
 

Chilln`in my BH lounge... fat (fett) one...

Great album!!!
thx!

Just finished ordering KNH and Decoding!  Thanks for the short descriptions and I know I\'ll be loving them.

Enter the Waiting for the Chicken!!!!

I\'d say I\'d put my albums in more or less this order. From favourite to least favourite:

Popluation Override
Colma
Electric Tears
Chicken Noodles
Giant Robot
Monsters And Robots
Kaleidoscalp
Inbred Mountain

I like the ISOT though there are some fillers I think.

I also like the two Thanatopsis albums I own, especially Axiology but also Thanatopsis.


So which albums of the three new ones should I order?

Iceman24, that is tough.  None of them are really like the ones you have on your list.  I think CS is similar to ISOT.  DTBB is most similar to PG and is a faster, heavier album.  KNH is really a new thing, but I do think it has some elements of ET, but is really a lot different as well and more experimental sounding.  It is  overall the mellowest of the the three almost by default, and that seems to be your thing.  Oh, there is a very mellow track on CS that is somewhat similar to PO.  Sorry I can\'t be more help.  You might want to check out either of the Shine albums or Shin Terai.  They are really mellow albums that you might like.

Yes, I like his mellow stuff more, mainly because it\'s "normal". I mean, I love faster songs like Soothsayer or Nottingham Lace Nun Chuka Kata, but I\'m not that much of a fan of his songs with fast pace changes and stuff.

So that would be the Unison and The Light Years album, right?

What about his stuff with Viggo? Is it worth checking out? And if yes, which album?

Well, the Shine albums and Shin Terai are definitely pretty mellow.  They are not really like the ones you had listed highly, but they are worth checking out, I think.  As far as the Viggo albums...meh.  Being something of a completionist, I have them, but I rarely listen to them.  There are a few nice songs, but most of them are simply Buckethead fooling around with Viggo\'s spoken word poetry over it.  Oh, and there is the very political one that instead of poetry has political quotes over it.  I do have to say that "Why Do they Hate us?" is pretty darn cool.  It has Buckethead playing the Lone Ranger theme (which is actually a classical song, but I can\'t recall its name right now).  But overall, they should definitely be way down the list of things to get.  I am trying to think of anything else that is mellow that you might like, but am drawing a blank at the moment.

I think I have to agree, I bought Please Tomorrow and was pretty disappointed. I would say he should get Acoustic Shards, Chicken Noodles and Thanatopsis\' Anatomize

QuoteDid you test it on another player?

NOW!

on My Panasonic sl-sx290 [48 seconds] ANTI-SKIP Portable its fine, mayhap its getting time to retire the Sony CFd er whatever its called.

I should clean out my Sansa MP3 Player and put it on there.

Chris DiCicco

So which albums of the three new ones should I order?

We have similar tastes as far as Buckethead\'s music goes.  I rate Colma as my fav with ET, PO, all the Thanatopsis and mellower albums right there with it.  But I also like PG, which I would recommend along with CSS.

But to stay within the mellow music genre, Bermuda Triangle has some great songs on it.  Only Track 4 of CS meets the mellow criteria.  It\'s an 11 minute song and worth getting the album just for that song.  You should also complete the Thanatopsis collection by adding Anatomize.  Can\'t comment on the other two new ones, will be purchasing them both shortly.

decoding the tomb is going well, a lot of the rifs and drums remind me heavily of iron maiden at times (mostly the earlier portion of the cd) especially on ghost host and materilalizing the disembodied

Decoding the....has tasty wedges for just about every Buckethead fan.  There\'s the rocking of EMAC, variety of Pepper\'s Ghost and soulful playing of Colma and ELectric Tears.

The song that surprised me was the final cut "Sail on Soothsayer" In Memory of Aunt Susie (1932-2007).  Buckethead\'s loss and tribute can be felt throughout the song.   It draws so much emotion and I found myself listening to it over and over.

This is a definate "MUST BUY" for every Buckethead fan!!!
