"what a great CD! theres a nice diversity to all the tracks. if you've never heard buckethead before, this is the best place to start.



1. Doomride - a brief exlpanation of buckethead followed by a chaotic spiral into hell, or so it sounds.



2. Welcome To Bucketheadland - probably my favorite track on the album. pretty straight up rockin' with a sweet solo at the end.



3. I Come In Peace - good bit of talking on this one. it kind of tells the story of a giant buckethead destroying tokyo in a godzilla like fashion.



4. Buckethead's Toy Store - sweet guitar riffs with little conversations going on from time to time.



5. Want Some Slaw? - unique guitar work with some neo classical Malmstein style riffs a little ways into it.



6. Warweb - quiet, dark sounding song. starts off with this little girl talking and goes into some violin/other string orchestral stuff.



7. Aquabot - some work with the vocator followed by more signature buckethead riffage, only with a little slower tempo than one like "Welcome to Bucketheadland"



8. Binge And Grab (Instrumental Version) - awsome, upbeat riffs somewhat reminscent of Rush. my second favorite of the album.



9. Pure Imagination - song from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on the Vocator.



10. Buckethead's Chamber Of Horrors - different clips of somewhat twisted voices and screams mixed with some music that could easily be the soundtrack on the ride to hell.



11. Onions Unleashed - pretty sweet guitar riffs mixed with Onions talking about his lifde as a scare crow mostly.



12. Chicken - just some noises with the vocator.



13. I Love My Parents - a slower, more peaceful song. buckethead really can speak through the guitar. not literally. you know what i mean.



14. Buckethead's TV Show - more buckethead riffage with some talking later on.



15. Robot Transmission - Buckethead plays less in the spotlight on this one. Bootsie Collins really shines on bass here. he played on some other songs here, but i forget which ones.



16. Pirate's Life For Me - buckethead takes the notes of the vocals for this one and plays them on guitar. pretty cool.



17. Post Office Buddy - kind of like trudging through thick mud. thats just what the main riff reminds me of. every couple times through he ends it with a really harmonious chord or two.



18. Star Wars - very good rendition of that classic star wars theme.



19. Last Train To Bucketheadland - somewhat repetitive guitar riff/drum beat play over these people reminiscing about their trip to Bucketheadland.
