This volume starts off well with "Binge Buddy Lounge". Sweet drum intro, rockin', funky bassline. Funky guitar work. Bobbin' the head, tappin' the foot. Gettin' down! Sweet guitar solo, too!

"I Never Made It Without Biting (Bloodblister Popcorn)" is exactly like "Tower of Insanity", but Tower is better. Not much better, but a few notes worth. End of story here. Skip, next, moving on...

So it's time for the "Electronic Zookeeper's Revenge", which is kind of a electronic dj break set almost. It's got it's groove. It's wicky-wacky.

"Delirium Chamber" is up next. The off playing on the keys of the piano really do help paint the picture of a delirium chamber, and then we get some warble and sound effect out of Buckethead. Quiet, extended outro with just a break every measure. This is what crazy feels like.

"Animatronics Séance" is strange as well. Sounds like Buckethead is strangling his guitar. And mind, when I say strange every time, I mean stange for Buckethead as is. We all know he's a little weird, but this is some off the charts weird. Playing with video game, Atari/arcade sound effects with his guitar or machinery to create an extended electronics jamout. It's different.

"Slunk Funk" is a godsend. Buckethead's funky songs are where I really find his playing to be right up my alley. This is a jammin' track with an extra memorable guitar riff, sweet bass licks, a jammin' solo, and a fast-paced drum track. I find this to be a 5-star any way you look at it. Mark it.

"Funeral For a Friend" has an interesting tapping intro and speed picking. There seems to be a story of a funeral procession for a clown that died... and all the clowns' clown friends are in charge of moving his casket but things go comically wrong. Fast-paced humor. Perhaps they dropped the casket. Outrage occurs and a comic clown-car chase scene follows. This goes on for a while until what I imagine is a car crash occurs. Funeral For a Friend. Interesting. Sorry if my imagination got carried away, but that's the only way to make that enjoyable, and it does work. Create your own story!

"Chicken Cleaver Duty" starts out as drums only, and quietly, classical instruments creep in. There's a break, and then a drum machine with chickens squawking about over it plays. The guitar finally makes an appearance towards the end of the track against a fast jazz beat, where Buckethead warbles as he chops off the chicken's head and it runs around in circles. Hooray!

"Super Booger Auditory Wax Candy" starts off with some stange licks from Buckethead's guitar and just doesn't stop. There's a cool riff to be heard come the 2:55 marker, and it's the only thing that save this track from noodling hell.

"Random Order" starts off as a cool drum machine beat but descends into creepy organ playing and then "Three Stooges'-esque sound effects, with warbling, noodling on top. Buckethead then goes on to pick up his guitar and play a very off kilter solo before the cool drum machine part from the beginning comes back to finish out the track.

Track 11, the final track of this volume, goes by the name of "Scabscratcher Shuffle (They Buried Him Alive)" and has one of the strangest shuffles to be heard, on top of an almost nonexistent drumbeat from the drum machine. As the track winds down, Buckethead pulls out some sweet riffs, but it's
still kind of out there.
