oxocubeingravy Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Personally I think it's great all the way through, and shows an amazing side of Buckethead, even though I do enjoy pretty much all his songs.What's your opinion on it?Also, does anybody know who the person is whose face is shown in the top left of the cover?It's not Brian Carrol (Bucket's real name) is it? I wouldn't think it is as the man appears to have short length hair, but I haven't researched it at all...ALBUM COVER: Edited May 23, 2009 by oxocubeingravy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) That album is great. Of course its music for a certain mood. Its not like you can listen to it to start the day. its so mellow and spaced out its perfect for when youre about to go to bed, or right after you've visited with Dr. Maryjane MD Edited May 23, 2009 by jkruk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Sal Bug Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 It's a beautiful album, with so many Bucket stand-out songs on it. Padmasana is clearly something special, I've listened to it for years and it still acts a meditation tool..10 minutes of just tranquility.Good news for you guys is Buckets just released a new album which is very much in the same vein and style of Elec' A Real Diamond in the rough provides all of those relaxing moments, it's real chilled out.

GivenToFly Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Outstanding!The first half of the album is just too beautiful.Padmasana, 5:01 - 6:34, wow! Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxocubeingravy Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Glad to hear others enjoy it too!Any ideas on the man in the corner though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 All In The Waiting is my favourite off that record, one of Buckethead's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_person Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I love that record. Perfectly chill, a little haunting, and a great listen. "Baptism of Solitude" and "Kansas Storm" are my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sweet Tooth Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This was the first Buckethead album I got, I love it! Helps me think. No idea about the man in the corner, it would be interesting if it were Buckethead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It's one of the 4 Buckethead albums I own and I love just as much as the other 3, them being Colma, Population Override and Monsters & Robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gods Favourite Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I love Electric Tears. I've fallen asleep to that album so many times! And that's a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punos Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Definitely pick it up. One of my favorite albums. I haven't heard it in awhile...think I'm going to listen to it now!!! Man...so many memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacks on deck Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 beyond boring. at least you could tap your foot to colma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 A great Bucket album, I do prefer Colma over it but it's still a good record. No where near as awesome as Crime Slunk Scene though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxocubeingravy Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 beyond boring. at least you could tap your foot to colma.So a song needs a beat to be good? I can understand why some people don't appreciate the beauty of this album though, it helps if your a musician and especially a guitarist, but for most people it's simply too minimalist, and as you put it, boring.A great Bucket album, I do prefer Colma over it but it's still a good record. No where near as awesome as Crime Slunk Scene though.Crime Slunk Scene is also incredible It doesn't feel right to compare them though, they're completely different Buckethead style, and even the recordings themselves are far more advanced in CSS in terms of studio finish.But Crime Slunk Scene is my favourite rock album of Buckets.

stacks on deck Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 i mean, i love ambient and atmospheric music, but only when it's done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxocubeingravy Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Haha alright then man. Honestly though, I think it's the best of the kind.Colma is good too, but it's more of a happy theme, whereas Electric Tears has a haunting atmosphere throughout.
