His technical abilities allow him to play notes that build on his cognitive skills, and for the most part his subconcious comes through at a level that may be lost on someone that has been conditioned for a more traditional approach. As in everything, it's all about perspective.

Its the same knock that Vai, Satriani and Malmsteen get. When your technical prowess is such it leans towards mechanical. I'm not really big on gymnastic guitar players in general, but I can appreciate the technical prowess while not enjoying it at times. I loved Vai's Flexable album and Satrianis SWTA. I haven't delved enough into Buckethead but he seems cut from the same mold, and while its not my thing, he certainly earns my respect for being a very gifted guitarist.
