PIKE 327 - CARNIVAL OF CHICKEN WIRE 26th installment of 2022 Everything played NOT by BUCKETHEAD.
Luckily there aren’t a lot of vocal-filled BH albums so i doubt this will be a trend. Another glaring reality is that the material here makes many of the more recent PIKEs sound like generic crap. While i was expecting to hate this instrumental album i was pleasantly surprised that it works somewhat although i still much prefer the original. It seems odd to find an all-instrumental pick of tracks of a 17-year old album but considering BH just lost a bunch of expensive guitars perhaps he’s cashing in to replace them. This release is sort of cheating in the fact that both “Nottingham Lace” and “Shen Chi” were already instrumentals on the original ENTER THE CHICKEN so really there are only five stripped down vocalless selections. Actually there are a few vocals featured on this but only on the spoken word sample starting “Botnus,” one of BH’s most popular live tunes and for great reason, this one showcases BH’s guitar shredding abilities as well as a serious riffing machine. This one is missing the “Intro,” “We Are One,” “Three Fingers,” “The Hand” and a short “Interlude.” It does feature the track “Shen Chi” which was only featured as a bonus track on later editions of ENTER THE CHICKEN. This one doesn’t feature twelve tracks like the original ENTER THE CHICKEN but rather only seven. The original is one of my favorite older BUCKETHEAD releases and the fact he teamed up with so much talent was a major plus, something sorely lacking in the PIKE series. Having said that even though i wasn’t keen on listening to this, i have to admit that these tracks do indeed make decent instrumentals even if not as awesome as were with the myriad vocalists that appeared on the original ENTER THE CHICKEN.
I’ve never been a fan and i almost always ignore such releases as they are nothing more than cash in on the diehards endeavors. Honestly i don’t see the point in instrumental versions of albums that feature lyrics. Unlike the original album which was released on Serj Tankian’s Serjical Strike label, this one is only available on BH’s Bandcamp age as a lossless digital recording.

ENTER THE CHICKEN INSTRUMENTALS has been released outside of the PIKE series and is sort of the companion album for the original ENTER THE CHICKEN album which was released all the way back in 2005. The second part consists of the title track.And for the 22nd release of BUCKETHEAD in the year 2022, the chicken lover throws another curve ball and revisits an old friend only in all instrumental form. There are two basic parts to this album, the first part is a piece called 'Gold Dragon', which is split across six parts and takes up the majority of the album. It Smells Like Frogs is one of those many Pikes that are splendid, and it is one of my favorites. While if I were to recommend a few albums for an absolute beginner to start listening to, I would say A Real Diamond in the Rough, Pepper's Ghost, Shadows Between the Sky, maybe even Crime Slunk Scene or Colma, I would say a ton of these Pikes as well.

The great thing about the Pike series is that the vast majority of his Pikes are all great displays of classic Big B guitar prowess, he is a master of not only technique, but feeling and the pikes are full of both of these.

Ever since Big B started coming out with the Pike series, he has unleashed an absolute torrent of mostly quality material, but to someone who has no idea what Buckethead is capable of, one would have no idea where to start with all of his material. With Buckethead releasing so many Pikes within the last few years, it can be a bit difficult to start getting into this guy's stuff.
