That's okay, but when it seems he commits every musical idea that strikes him to record, it gets a bit predictable and there's a lot of material that I personally am not that interested in. Finding a truly great Buckethead song is like trying to find a diamond in a pile of coal.

Here's one of my favourites which I believe I've yet to see posted in any thread yet.
I'm with ya besides the bolded, which seems a bit harsh. I can agree in saying that about his older projects, such as El Stew, Cornbugs, Death Cube K, etc., but I think its more 50/50 than one track here, one track there. I realize this is definitely just opinion vs. opinion, but would you say that was a hasty remark?
