Elephant Man's Alarm Clock

If you don't own this cd by now, stop reading the reviews and buy it!!!!! It's an incredible trip beginning to end. Buckethead is nothing but talent!!!!!!

Ever vigilant in his pursuit of a stray cord, well, he found many righteous sounds in this collage of synaptic delights. One of Buckets best efforts thus far, and hopeful to those who daydream of using mountains as peg boards in expressing personal prowess.

I heard this is the best cd and my boyfriend loves buckethead and he likes the original cd's so does anyone know where I could buy the cd????

"The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock" is one of Buckethead's greatest albums. The album leans to the heavy metal quadrant of BH's diverse playing spectrum, though some quieter, mellow sections manage to break through the thundering riffs and blistering shredding, and things get sort of funky in "Bird With a Hole in the Stomach". If you never got into the vocal "skits" of Bucketheadland 2 and heavily experimental "Island of Lost Minds", but think his latest efforts like "Bansheebot" and "Pepper's Ghost" are a bit on the tame side, than "EMAC" miggbt just be the perfect way to get you into BH. This is BH at his best, thought if you still don't want to buy the whole album, at least buy the best of the best: 1. Final Wars 2. Baseball Furies 3. Bird With a Hole in the Stomach

It's Buckethead. Do you really need another reason to buy it?

This is by far one of my favorite buckethead albums. While thai fighter swarm, the title track, and the last track are all sub par, there are a lot of great tracks. Baseball Furies, Oakridge Cake, and Droid Assembly are all solid Buckethead tunes. Gigan is classic Buckethead. The Lurker Suite is epic, as well as Final Wars.

One of Buckethead's best albums, ranging from the funk of Oakridge Cake and Bird with a Hole in Stomach, to the extreme shred of the title song. Just one question, why can't you buy the whole album? It's not partial, it has all of the tracks.

If you're into Buckethead or into playing guitar in general, you NEED to buy this album. It starts off with a great, screwy track called 'Thai Fighter Swarm', then it goes into the four minute epic 'Final Wars' (a must buy track for ANYBODY), then it goes into some more heavy, crunching guitar songs with solos abound... but then comes the masterpiece. A song I find to be so incredible, to heart-stopping, it blows so many other guitarists and wannabes out of the water. It IS 'Lurker at the Threshold', an homage to horro novel write HP Lovecraft, and split into four different tracks as a tribute to four books of a series he wrote that (if I'm correct) go under the same title. It got one of the most sonorous and mysterious melodies to open up, and then for the next eight minutes, you're going on a frenzy of shredding and non-stop melodies to awe-inspiring and gut-wrenching, you'll need to stop and wonder how one man could conceive such a song. In my opinion, it is the pinnacle of this album, and you would agree if you were to hear it too. The rest of the album is great too though. 'Oakridge Cake', 'Gigan', 'Bird With a Hole In the Stomach', and 'Fizzy Lipton Drinks' all make this album large than life for a guitarist whose musical prowess seems to grow with every passing second. If you really want an album to listen to over and over and over, this is it. So buy it, listen to it, and be thankful I told you to.

OMFG this is one of bucket's best ever. Final Wars=MUST HAVE FOR EVERYBODY Rest of the album is sweet too. gotcha funk on Oakridge Cake and Bird With a Hole in Stomach Each lurker at the threshold is amazing Just buy the whole thing this album is insaneeee
