Buckethead crime slunk scene series#

Easily accessible even upon first listen and just enough avant-garde touches to keep the listening experience unique and in no doubt who is performing all the jittery guitar gymnastics. While many of the styles laid down would become a staple on many editions of the Pike series, the tracks on this one are exquisitely constructed to make quite the interesting listen.

Buckethead crime slunk scene series#

вЂњMega GiiganвЂќ is a spastic little metal masterpiece as well as it unleashes some monstrous riffs, a series of guitar squeals and simulates the famous battle with Godzilla as Tokyo is razed to the ground.Д¬RIME SLUNK SCENE is a continuous battle between the laid back and the hyperactive as styles shift around abruptly and unexpectedly. My favorite track is the diverse вЂњElectronic Slight Of HandвЂќ which manages to include a whole barrage of styles and tempos which includes alternative metal riffing, heavy thrash segments and angular avant-garde rhythm dances along with nice melodic soloing all prancing about in BUCKETHEADвЂ™s special spastic way of delivering his jittery riffing that bounce along and even includes some sort of cool counterpoints. вЂњWe Can Rebuild HimвЂќ adds a little avant-garde guitar workouts amidst a more recognizable alternative metal riffing approach although it does have sped up super heavy metal sections with emphasis on speed. Sanders AKA Red Track SuitвЂќ are aggressive and thrashy but most tracks like the funky introduction вЂњKing JamesвЂќ are mid tempo funky metal and distorted alternative metal such as the slinking distortionfest called вЂњSoothsayerвЂќ which sails on for just over nine minutes. This is one of BUCKETHEADвЂ™s more accessible albums with less focus on the avant-garde and more of a mix of funk and alternative metal styles however tracks like вЂњCol. They will tell you the tale of the CRIME SLUNK SCENE. The CD version includes two extra tracks вЂњMicha GiganвЂќ and вЂњSlunk Parade AKA Freaks In The BlackвЂќ not found on the vinyl edition.

A proposed newer pressing is supposed to happen in 2017. Due to the availability only on tour, this one has become quite the collectible and a case when YouTube is your best friend despite a sold out repressing. One of the few albums that was available only at BUCKETHEAD concerts, his 18th album and final of 2006, CRIME SLUNK SCENE is yet another collaborative effort of our favorite chicken lover along with Dan Monti and Travis Dickerson.
