Buckethead has surely made up a name for himself over the past decade. It is hard to tell, however, if he draws more attention for the Bucket he wears on his head and mask on his face, or for the fretboard he so gracefully lights up. Sadly, I believe it is the first. Buckethead does an excellent job of fusing blues, rock, and hints of jazz into this album. His phrasing is beautiful, and proves ...

In my opinion, one of Buckethead's finest moments. He's done a lot of great stuff but Population Override gets me every time I listen to it. From "Unrestrained Growth" with a funky sludge breakdown to the last track "..." ending the album on a bluesy note, the album finds balance throughout while skipping from metal to funk to blues to ambient guitar noodling without breaking concentration.

Buckethead might be best known for wearing that creepy mask and a KFC bucket on his head, and playing some of the fastest, noisiest, most insane-sounding experimental music out there. But to me, the (relatively) understated album "Colma" is his masterpiece. You won't come across many "guitar heroes" who are willing to tone down the rock to something this mellow and atmospheric.

However, if you were a fan of Buckethead's work prior to this, his inclusion in the group may have actually come [...]
