5 out of 5 stars Can BucketHead ever put out something not perfect?.......2004-07-20

That's what I ask myself everytime I get one of his albums. The guy's constantly working on music and seemingly never takes a break. I've yet to be disappointed by anything he does, and this is no exception. I Need 5 Minutes Alone is weird compared to BucketHead's other albums though. It doesn't really fit in to any category of music. Monsters & Robots was more rock, Colma was acousitc, BucketHeadLand was friggin' nuts, Day of the Robot was metal/ambient/awesome, etc. But I have no idea how to describe this album.

But that isn't a bad thing, as I Need 5 Minutes Alone has some of BucketHead's finest material. I know I constantly say that about his albums (you should see a pattern in them by now), but some tracks on here are just insane with how perfectly executed they are. Dispite some tracks already being on other albums, a few of them came out first on here, so it doesn't really matter. Plus it's cool to hear Buck...I mean Herbie...sing. And that's what we stat out with- Herbie ordering chicken at McDonalds. Then it goes into a little drum/keyboard bit that leads to what I think is either bass or heavily distorted guitar. I don't use effects when making music, so I can't tell (unprofessional, I know). I must say, for just BucketHead and Brain doing this album, it's surprising how well it can stand out. Some tracks are long but not boring, as they keep building up to just this huge explosion of perfection.

There are quite a few stand out tracks here:

-Pieces
-Danyel (a song about a porn actress believe it or not)
-8 Diagram Pole Fighter (this is a very cool and creepy track. Play this when Sally's running from LeatherFace in the first TCM and see how well it fits the situation)
-Carl Junghole
-Twice With The Sledge
-Hazelnut Cream Pie (very bluesish)
-Slapatron
-General Butterfly (beautiful lyrics, and the music in the back is an early rendition of the "Colma" track on the album of the same name)

And I have to say that "Twice With The Sledge" is the single most beautiful BucketHead track...no...anything I've ever heard. Nothing I've heard can compare to it. Even things on Colma can't match this baby. It's purely acoustic and has a sad tone to it while still being a fast track in some places.

But who am I to say all of this? If you're a BucketHead fan, you'll buy this without needing a reason to. Let's be honest though, if you pay $30+ for it, you're getting ripped off. You can easily find this on certain sites *coughBarnes&Noblecough*, and they have it in stock. In fact, that's where I got my new copy just last year after my first one wore out. The cd booklet's art is pretty cool too. I absolutely love the picture of BucketHead walking down the hall with Brain following in the distance. And you actually get all the lyrics too.

I can never say it enough- Thank you BucketHead, for being such an inspiration for me. You are the reason I play music. Granted, I'll never be up to your status, but I won't stop. Thanks for constantly giving me inspiration.

5 out of 5 stars Another awesom Buckethead album.......2002-05-02

Pieces is not what I expected at all... but it is awesome. In this CD as in lot of older Buckethead, underground, albums - the rythm guitars from a few Colma songs find their way on to this album, but with vocals. Now as for the vocals themselves (except for the rap, because well, I mean Buckethead rap?), they leave a lot to be desired but this CD is definitely another wonderful Buckethead experience. If you dig Death Kube K and the whole ambient sound that those CDs produce than you will like this CD as well. Unfortunately this CD provides very little NEW music. A lot of the music has since been re-written and re-performed by Buckethead featuring much less talented drummers and DJs. It was cool to see something mainstream, or as mainstream as Mosely and Buckethead get, featuring Corn Bugs band mate Bill Mosely (yes the very same that played old Leather Face in III). If you are looking for more tracks like 1, 2, 3...then this is not the CD that you want. These songs are much more dub in nature than Rock or Jam, although it did have a lot less synthesized noize than other Buckethead albums. Overall this is a solid CD but it is nothing really new or that exciting, if you want to hear vocals than you should pick up this album- DO NOT buy this CD is you are just getting into Buckethead you will probably not like this CD, but this is a definite must have for completists or huge fans, of which I am both. LONG LIVE AMERICA'S FAVORITE MASKED PSYCHO(phonosychographdisk that is!)... BUCKETHEAD!

4 out of 5 stars Weird, but still groovy.......2002-03-20

OK!! Title of this review isn't the best one. But Species is one of my favorites of Buckethead. There's something really cool about this album. It's not the best Buckethead (Mr. B) record but still I listen it every now and then. Maybe it's Brain. There's lot of really cool rhythmical things in this record. It makes me dance (well actually not, but almost!!). "Carl Junghole" is awsome and "Slapatron" is just a killer.
