Title: Even Colonel Sanders wouldn't be proud
Product review: Theres no arguing Buckethead is an excellent guitarist when it comes to technical skill and jaw dropping speed. Unfortunately on Colma all that know how adds up to next to nothing. Even Eddie Van Halen valued melody over heroics. Most of the tracks are filled with so much needless meandering even hardcore Phish fans might fall asleep, and the psychedlic experimentations seem half formed and down right indolent. Ok ok so its sort of commendable Buckethead dedicates the album to his parents, but the fact is any hack off the street can pick up a guitar, learn some scales, noodle around for 5 minutes and call it "Sailing Boats with my Dad". The only time Buckethead really bares the personality in his sound is on "Machete" a blast of "Kiss my Axe" guitar shredding that puts much of David Gilmour's guitar work to shame. All in all though Colma will just make you wish Axl Rose and Slash would kiss and make up, or at the very least make up.
