Album Notes
Personnel includes: Buckethead (guitar); Bootsy Collins, Les Claypool (vocals, bass); Brain (drums); PhonosycographDISK (turntables); Xtrakd, DJ Eddie Def, Pete Scaturro.Personnel: Buckethead (guitar); Max Robertson, Les Claypool, Bootsy Collins (vocals); Brain , Brian "Brain" Mantia (drums); Phonosycograph Disk (turntables).Unknown Contributor Roles: DJ Eddie Def; Xtrakd; Les Claypool; Pete Scaturro; Bill Laswell ; Bootsy Collins.Mixing metallic guitar heroics with funk, hip-hop, electronica, and a cinematic soundtrack feel, Buckethead's Monsters and Robots is yet another eclectic opus inspired in large part by low-budget monster/horror, martial arts, and science fiction movies, especially those of Japan. Like any Buckethead album, the music does meander in spots, but this outing does improve on its predecessor Colma by employing a variety of guest bassists; Primus' Les Claypool (as well as drummer Brain), Bootsy Collins, and Bill Laswell all enliven the music's rhythmic underpinnings in ways that Buckethead's own bass playing on Colma didn't. Plus, the contributions of guest DJs Phonosycograph Disk, DJ Eddie Def, and Xtrakd are inventive and stimulating, complementing rather than confusing the musical mix. It may not be completely consistent, but Monsters and Robots offers more than enough musical derangement to satisfy. ~ Steve Huey

Editorial Reviews
3 out of 5 - ...ultimately just fancy jams to drape fancy fretwork over....he's down with hip-hop and electro-funk, while peppering the whole shebang with weird, amusing samples....would make Frank Zappa proud...

Perhaps Buckethead's Best And Brightest!

Created: 23/03/06
What a mix, features new original tracks with same group of friens, only with one small difference, Les Claypool on bass for all 12 or 13 tracks depending on what version you get. They due amazing renditions of Giant Robot (Band on NTT, not the album Giant Robot) songs aswell. From start to finish, a great album. Worth your time!

not so sure if i would say this album great just yet , but a quick listen and you will hear buckethead's incredible shredding and guitar work . i guess the fact that buckethead is doing what he wants as an artist is better than being a commercial success or being in the top 40 .

Monsters and Robots (Buckethead)

Created: 07/07/06
I love this CD. Buckethead is a guitar genius. I had it before, but it got played out and I needed a new one-so I bought it. I have no complaints. If you love Buckethead or love guitar this is the CD for you.
