After a tidal wave of live Pikes, BUCKETHEAD has finally returned releasing a torrent of substandard studio Pikes with the occasional gem to be found. One problem these days is that the gems seem to have ceased while the lame crap continues to flow like a broken spigot.

Just in time for Christmas, BUCKETHEAD has released a nauseating coal-in-the-stocking crapbomb of a Pike for its 400th edition titled DECORATING. Just when you think this guy can’t deliver something more nauseating than before, he continuously surprises.

DECORATING is basically a continuous 30-minute recycled loop of clean guitar. It’s like a torture device for interrogation purposes during war time P.O.W. intelligence extraction. There have been many awful Pikes but i do believe this is the most awful of all.

I’ve grown tired of BH’s never-ending stream of mediocrity and downright rubbish as even the more adventurous cool prog metal Pikes have become nothing more than recycled been-there, done-that affairs.

This one is so bad i would truly consider this to be on the playlist of hell. I would give this ZERO stars if possible so i’ll have to give it as few as possible in zero’s stead. The only thing worth DECORATING with this lump of caca is the trash can.

BH seems to think this is amusing? Seems like his legend is being replaced by an image of irrelevance since even the cream of the crop lately is rather ho hum compared to the legion of new music on the scene. No wonder that few if any have bothered even giving a single rating to the wasteland of live Pikes but these newer studio Pikes are even worse.

ZERO stars but i guess 1/2 will have to do
