Artist: Buckethead Album: Crime Slunk Scene Year: 2006 Label: TDRS. Then you will realize all your fighting is for nothing.Release Details. Review Summary: Wait until it hits you. Even though the prominent use of the whammy and kill switch hinder the album a little as guitar lines seem mirrored on some songs, the album does away with linear style. Buckethead weaves his tale of comparing the past and present with perplexing accuracy. The clear aroma of poignant feelings swirls around Crime Slunk Scene like flies to lights.

The layers of subject material don’t stop there, as they spiral off of each other making it a fun experience to guess what kind of thoughts may be tackled next. The Fairy and the Devil sounds like a battle between good or evil, while the closing riff of King James implants a rhythmic rebellion in the listener. Buckethead’s emotional consistency is often riddled with layers, either epic or dramatic. The essence of Buckethead’s quirky nature is still there, but is mostly hidden among the many breathtaking instrumentals to behold.
Through the schizophrenic mix of passionate movements, the listener is showered with happy and sad memories. It’s the most haunting depiction of Buckethead’s feelings ever put into his music. The rea l heavy hitter however is the ten minute long beast known as Soothsayer. The fairy loses its incredible battle with the devil and the revolution is suppressed by the higher officials. He sprinkles a strong crux of his being into his music, showing that he is a human being with emotional skirmishes like the many of us.A looming sense of defeat is evident on the album as well. But instead of brainwashing people into believing in luxury and fame it distracts the listener to indulge in Buckethead’s side of the story.
Buckethead weaves his tale of comparing the past and present with perplexing accuracy. The song shows the beauty of what it was like in the past, followed by the disastrous effects the present and future can hold.The clear aroma of poignant feelings swirls around Crime Slunk Scene like flies to lights. It’s like a musical autobiography, only using an instrument instead of a voice.
The catchy rhythms, emotionally driveled guitar playing, and great production make this an excellent addition to the guitar virtuoso’s massive discography. For me, this is the album which drew me into Buckethead's whirlpool of interest.
