75 albums? So basically he just writes whatever shit comes to his head and puts it out there.

Was going through this thread and found this gem:
This is beautiful.
The pikes stuff is cool and there are some gems there, but I miss Bucket's full-fledged studio albums. He hasn't released anything since March, which is odd for him. Must be busy with his tour.
My favorite Buckethead works are his more acoustic/laid back albums, especially Electric Tears and Electric Sea:
Electric Tears
Padmasana
The Way To Heaven
Mantaray
Spell of The Gypsies
Electric Sea
Electric Sea
El Indio
Yokohama
The Homing Beacon
A Real Diamond In the Rough
Big D's Touch
Dawn Appears
Shadows Between The Sky
Inward Journey
Sea Wall
Sled Ride
I guess he's a quantity over quality kind of guy.
Buckethead is definitely a musical genius, he just needs to be more judicious on what he releases. He pretty much puts out anything and everything that comes to his head, and the result is that a lot of his stuff seems half-baked or repetitive at times.
Bought the album this is from (Giant Robot) as wellAmbient from Buckethead:

I have like 850 songs by him on my iPod Classic.
The man is not a music artist, he's a music factory. I fucking love him, and what makes it so crazy is that his variety is insane. But I've been out of the loop for a little while. 75 albums in 2 years? Christ. I'm shocked, but not that shocked.
I would love to see him live.
Does he tour often or?
Shocked because it's not like his stuff is "horrible".

Nice, but does he have an impressive body of work or is it lots of filler?
What the hell, dude.
You have stated several times in different threads that you love Buckethead but as I understand here, you just listened "I Love My Parents" for the first time ever? O_O
Now you're going to say you never listened...
Too Many Humans
I like Buckethead, but I just haven't listened to everything he has made. I'm not all that familiar with his pre-Colma work.
From wiki
Unreleased albums[
Buckethead Plays Disney [2]
Gimmie
In 1997 Buckethead began work on an album titled Buckethead Plays Disney, but the album has never been released. According to his web page:
"This highly anticipated album, once listed in an Avant catalog, has yet to be completed. It is Buckethead's most precious personal project so he won't record or release it until he knows he is ready. It is slated for release sometime before the burial ritual."
"I like Disneyland. I want to be buried there - parts of me in It's a Small World, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean, plus parts in Tokyo Disneyland, Euro Disneyland, and Florida Disney World. There are enough bones to go around."
A mediocre composer at best.75 albums? So basically he just writes whatever shit comes to his head and puts it out there.

That used to be your opinion two years ago at least, when you posted in this thread for the first time.

Bought Electric Tears, Electric Sea, and Colma
Bought the album this is from (Giant Robot) as well
How does he remember it all?
Thanks. I'll look into his older stuff the next time I decide to go on a music binge.He has a good amount of really killer albums in different styles (easily 10 or more really awesome albums), it's only in the last years when he went mental about releasing tons of albums per year.
Most of those albums suffer from what I call the "Malmsteen Syndrome": A lot of tracks sound very similar compared to each other and compared to tracks from previous albums, which is a shame cause as a listener you find yourself with a lot of "I've heard this before" moments.
Sometimes I'd say to call him a genius is too much, but for sure he is super talented and unique, I mean... without a single doubt there is no other guitar player in the world that sounds like him, and that speaks a lot about him.
Somebody close to him should persuade him to take more time with each album so new releases don't end sounding like half-baked projects.
IMHO.
With that much stuff out there, who can even say? You can have one person with 25 albums arguing with someone else with 25 albums, and neither of them have heard any of the same stuff.Nice, but does he have an impressive body of work or is it lots of filler?
Thanks. I'll look into his older stuff the next time I decide to go on a music binge.
Nothing I've heard has impressed me. It's all technical skill and no songwriting ability.
