Background

The track "Soothsayer" (dedicated to Buckethead's late aunt) has become one of his more popular songs and is frequently played live.[2][3] "Soothsayer" was voted third best guitar solo of the 2000s by the Ultimate Guitar community.[4] Loudwire described it as "smoothest legato shreds of all-time".[5] VH1 placed it 8th on the list of "20 Greatest Heavy Metal Instrumentals".[6] The song was later included as downloadable content on Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock.[7] On April 27, 2017, Buckethead announced a vinyl format of this album through his Buckethead Pikes label, marking the first time since its inception that the label released a non-Pike album. This version excludes the final two tracks ("Mecha Gigan" and "Slunk Parade AKA Freaks in the Back") and is offered in three editions. The first is a regular vinyl, a second signed and numbered format, and a third limited edition package including the previous, plus a signed photo and poster, a guitar pick, and a sticker. The vinyl reissue was released on August 1.[8][9]
