It was good.......2007-02-27

first of all i heard some buckethead then i picked random buckethead cd and it was enter the chicken (TERRIBLE) then i got this cuz hes one of the best guitarists ever. I put 'er in and this annoying voice comes on. so anyways to cut to the chase i loved most of the songs but the voice annoys me to no end. The song welcome to bucketheadland is great untill "centipede woman" comes on and screams stupid crap. Binge and Grab is sooooo great it amazes me. I still think that thru all of the dialogue its still a great cd, and i would suggest it to someone who already likes buckethead

Amazing!!!.......2007-02-07

This is one of the first albums I bought on here, and i have to say i listened to it everyday for over 2 months, and i still now find myself going back and listening to it again and again, thats how good it really is. The song "Do you want some Slaw" is awesome. "Welcome to Bucketheadland" is an utter classic! Binge and Grab of course is a standard rock classic in my opinion when you tend to hear him play more of a creepy heavy metal on the same album: "Buckethead's Chamber of Horros", just an overall great album for people who love instrumental music with a little narrating in between.

A Buckethead classic and must have!.......2006-10-03

I won't rave too much since many others here have already said much to Buckethead's incredible abilities. It's true, he has staggering guitar skill, style range (literally every/any), and creativity all of which is even more jaw-dropping live - yep, I've seen him up very close and personal.

Giant Robot is (like most Buckethead discs) a themed album, hence the voice-overs and such which add depth to the story line. If one can allow their imagination to float a little, this album is HUGE FUN and a MUST HAVE for any Buckethead fans. Also a perfect album for Buckethead newbies, since he has such an enormous volume of work, which can be daunting for those trying to pick a disc of his to start with.

Double Wow!!!!.......2006-02-24

As tasty and edgy as Monsters and Robots . Buckethead will amaze you !!!This album made me a believer in Buckethead's "Guitar Godness" and I don't believe until I've been awed and folks I've been awed. Enjoy this solid end to end cd...I did....

Some really great music, but alot is hidden behind the insanity.......2006-02-24

I first started looking into Buckethead a few months ago. I wanted to get this album because I had heard that it was his heaviest one. Being a metalhead, this seemed like the thing for me. So, I got this on Amazon, along with getting Population Override at Best Buy (it was the only CD of his that they had). Now Population Override is a totally different album, much much mellower and bluesy (and it has no skits at all). But that one turned out to be the keeper of the two.

I'm a big fan of Welcome to Bucketheadland, but it is a good example of the problem with the CD. After some killer riffs, the end of the song is filled with psychotic laughter that just kills any enjoyment of the song. That's where the problem is: the skits and other weird happenings that go on throughout the album. While I Come in Peace has a pretty funny skit, and Onions Unleashed has a skit that actually seems to flow along well with the song, the rest just seem to get in the way. It leaves you with too little of Buckethead's excellent guitar work, and not as much depth to the music. The only song where he really gets it right is Binge and Grab(Instrumental Version)... of which there doesn't seem to be a non-instrumental version.

So, this album is still Buckethead, so it is quality work. But I already know that Population Override is a much better album, despite being from a genre that I'm generally not into. Next I'm ordering Monsters and Robots, which seems to be where Buckethead gets his heavy music right. If you're already a Buckethead fan, then this will still be a valuable piece of the collection... I just wouldn't recommend it for someone like me who is just getting into his music.
