I wish he'd stop with the pikes already and write a full 45-60 minute album with proper song structure. The 30 minutes of random noodling just doesn't do it for me.. Its great that he gives us so much music but a lot of these pikes feel half assed and with a lot of filler and the odd gem (Worms for the Garden is epic).

I view the pikes as whole 30~min pieces. With some of them it's easy to pick out individual favorites, but that's more with the earlier Pikes. But I guess around the time he started doing the special editions, they became more like cohesive bodies of work, a lot of them had songs that were 2 mins and less, so it kind of has to flow together to work. I agree about wanting him to do another full album though.

Albums are dead (especially for non-mainstream artists). Buckethead is ahead of the curve when it comes to formatting his releases.

It's a drum machine a lot of the time

I see.. Thanks! Cause I was thinking "whoever is playing this is AMAZINGLY FAST" and then a second question popped up: "how does buckethead sell enough albums to make a profit if he has to hire a drummer, an artist for album covers, studio time and distribution?" But it's most likely that it's a drum machine, hes got a good home studio and the cover artist must be a friend or has a ling-lasting deal with him." Because, man... I'm dealing with costs have never imagined just releasing a 5-song EP for my band :D

I disagree. My local record store is always jam packed and there is more non-mainstream than one would imagine.

I've enjoyed BH over the years but i think the last year has been over-load, in a negative way, and I won't bother listening to it all. I'm sure the die-hards will disagree but to each their own.

I agree. I just couldn't keep up with pikes after Forgotten Library. I'm still trying to listen to all the pikes but it's just way too much at once.
