In fact, one of Crime Slunk SceneвЂ™s most laudable features is the painlessness of its changeovers-a notable feat on an album full of such eclectic musical stylings. The transitions between all the songs are relatively seamless. This heaviness continues into вЂњThe Fairy and the DevilвЂќ and вЂњBuddy BerkmanвЂ™s Ballad,вЂќ two tracks in which Buckethead successfully bounces back and forth between distorted rhythmic vamping and crisp melodic riffing. His impossibly fast slap guitar riffs collide with equally mind bending Yngwie MalmsteenвЂ“influenced harmonic runs in a song that gradually evokes the full range of aggressive emotions. Short, catchy, and aggressive, itвЂ™s a great album opener that clips by at a fast pace and seamlessly transitions into the funk-metal track вЂњGory Head Stump.вЂќ Here we see BucketheadвЂ™s funk influences (he is a self-proclaimed disciple of Bootsy Collins and Eddie Hazel) come out in full force. As is characteristic of a Buckethead song, вЂњKing JamesвЂќ has a simple, yet catchy, backing riff that chugs along under the ebb and flow of a technical lead line. The album opens with Buckethead breaking out the whammy pedal on вЂњKing James,вЂќ hitting impossibly high notes that he skillfully brings to life with tremolo effects. Beautifully engaging and highly satisfying, Crime Slunk Scene takes the listener on a musical journey that combines psychotic shred, ethereal guitar melodies, and BucketheadвЂ™s signature tapping and tremolo techniques into a wonderfully constructed experimental album that is his strongest release since his much-lauded 1998 masterpiece Colma. Perpetually sporting his signature white kabuki mask and his famous Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket hat, the masked guitar virtuoso recently concluded a nationwide tour in promotion of his latest album, Crime Slunk Scene. Starting out as the masked axe-swinger for the bay areaвЂ“based band the Deli Creeps, Buckethead (aka Brian Caroll) quickly established himself as one of the worldвЂ™s premiere guitarists via impeccable technique and an uncanny aptitude for producing face-melting riffs.

This version excludes the final two tracks ('Mecha Gigan' and 'Slunk Parade AKA Freaks in the Back') and is offered in three editions. On April 27, 2017, Buckethead announced a vinyl format of this album through his label 'Buckethead Pikes' marking the first time since its inception that the label has released a non-pike album. The song was later included as DLC on Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock. VH1 included it 8th on the list of '20 Greatest Heavy Metal Instrumentals'. Loudwire described it as 'smoothest legato shreds of all-time'. 'Soothsayer' was voted third best guitar solo of the 2000s by the Ultimate Guitar community. The track 'Soothsayer' (dedicated to Buckethead's late aunt) has become one of his more popular songs, and is frequently played live. The album went out of print once again in February 2012, and with no plans of repressing it a third time. When the pre-orders reached a certain amount, the re-pressing was green-lit and released on April 12, 2007. However, as future projects took up a lot of time, fans were asked to pre-order the re-pressing of Crime Slunk Scene, with no set date for the album's release. After going out of print, the demand for the album remained high, and eventually Travis Dickerson attempted a re-pressing of the disc.
