Buckethead - Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot


As an avid guitar player I thought I should reveiw the latest album from one of my many idols buckethead.

The new album titled "Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot" was pretty much released without anyone knowing and Even I have only just got round to reveiwing it. So anyway to the reveiw.

This solo guitar album is the latest in the long line of buckethead albums and the 22nd solo album he has written. The bulk of this album is similiar to any of his other masterpeices but the solo guitar lines on "Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot" seem to sound alot more vocal and you can almost here some form of lyrics through the guitar.

The opening track "Materilalizing The Disembodied" has a brilliant opening section with classic buckethead riffs and his signature guitar sound. Infact this album doesnt feature much of his 4 finger tapping technique or insane trilling but everything is much more controlled...and yet still it seems mad as bucketheads work should.
Other brilliant songs include "Ghost Host", "Bloodless" and "Sail On Soothsayer".

For fans of: John 5, Joe satriani.

8/10
