Try not to post this one on YouTube please... (to droidhunter)
The samples sound great, I'm actually excited for this one!
^^ I wasn't planning on posting them to Youtube...I haven't even downloaded the tracks yet!
I can't wait til this CD comes out, I NEED to own this one!
good lookin out for us droidhunter13.
thats the best cover in the series too.
i would love to have that as a poster
Sounds like another amazing album, I will buy this when it's physical.
Bought this yesterday, listened to it three times in total and it's probably one of my favourite in recent years. The production sounds great, the riffs are catchy and there seems to be less noodling, glitchy wankery going on. I do like the glitchy stuff but sometimes all I want is a bone crushing riff and a groove I can kick to. This is that kind of album. At half an hour, it flies by which is a shame, but I really dig it.
Did some research on Molokai... found this info on wikipedia.
"Molokaʻi is distinguished in the Roman Catholic religion as the site of past religious miracles verified and confirmed by the Vatican, and the longtime residence of Father Damien de Veuster, a Belgian priest and Mother Marianne Cope of the Sisters of St. Francis, both of whom have been canonized Roman Catholic Saints for their treatment and care given during the 19th century to long term sufferers of Hansen's Disease, also known as leprosy."
...so it got me thinking about the feeling one would have, arriving by boat, knowing that there are people there with this horrible disease. Yep, Buckethead, you chose a perfect name for an album. Can't wait to hear it!
Check out some photos too... kinda ominous.

Molokai is an island in Hawaii. Maybe Buckethead was chillin at a beach before the tour.
Just ordered the CD. Really can't wait to listen to this one :)

PURCHASED!
Ditto, Thanks for the post updating its availability.
Wow, Ordered this Friday evening and already got it in the mail.
I have to say i really like this album thus far and will jam this for some time.
I really hope this one rocks... been waiting for cd! now I cant wait to get it!!!!!
After some sour wedges... There's this f**king beast of an album! Yes yes yes!!! So fresh, so tasty! That's our boy!!! His metal writing is the best!
So far it feels like a modernish/ heavyish album with a buckethead roundhouse kick to the face! So awesome :D :D :D
The drum programming on this is amazing too, nice and varied, with some surprising patterns, stuff I've not heard much of before. One question though, Brewer is credited as doing the baritone on track 4. I can't really tell. Is that info on Wikipedia right?
This is soooo awesome!!!!! He does it again... it's like he heard our cries for something like this.
Thanks Buckethead!
The title track is SO EPIC!!!!!! Omfg I'm in love again! ;D :o ;D :o ;D
Yep I'm still in the at least 3 times a day rotation... YES!
It took me a month to realize it, but there are a few interesting things about this album.
I heard a part in "Mannequins Are My Friend" that sounds like it's straight out of "Brewer in the Air".
Buckethead already has a "Hatchet" (Deli Creeps) and a "Counter Clockwise" (Thanatopsis).
And tracks 3 & 7 and tracks 8 & 10 have something...similar about them if you listen closely.
Tracks 3 & 7 and tracks 8 & 10 have drum beats similar to each other. Also, Mannequins Are My Friend has a riff similar to Dummy Egg from Empty Space.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he used the exact same drum track for each pair, maybe with slight alterations.
I didn't even notice the Dummy Egg similarity, nice catch.
Do you think the Pikes series will end up having 13 albums to it? Already halfway there now.
I hope so. The other day I played all 7 installments back to back. Literally feels like a rollercoaster.
Update: SOM is still the best pike! The title track got me pulled over because I speed when it's blasting through my Bose sound system! Oh, soo good....
