MUSIC REVIEW: Buckethead - Monsters & Robots

"A truly great guitar player."

As a music lover I admire technical guitar albums that do nothing but show off amazing skill. Still, as a listener, I get a bit impatient with such indulgence if the songwriting isn't good. That is why listening to Buckethead's music is such a pleasure for me. He'll stun you with technique, but he'll also catch your ear with his great melodies. Beyond the thrash, funk, and rock you might except from Buckethead, things gets pretty weird too. Rap? Kung-fu music? Only Buckethead can take these things and combine them into a successful product like this. Awesome songs, awesome talent. Buckethead is da man.
