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.

Pike 40 sounds really cool, I'm gonna wait until January and pick it up along with the regular editions of a couple others hopefully.

[ColdHeartBreaker]

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

41 out and free.

I've been wandering... are the drums in the bucket head pikes albums live tracks? Is someone playing or is it a drum machine?

[Gordon Comstock]

It's a drum machine a lot of the time

Edited January 15, 2014 by RickRoses

[Cosmo]

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

[Bruno P.]

yeah, it'd cost a lot. however, there are albums that brain and other drummers play on

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.
