one of the most beautiful albums i've ever heard. in my top20 best album of all time. just artfully done and meticulously produced, all around,

why is this so good? indecipherable, inescapable, dynamic, and fascinating. the closest to hymnal or holy music i've ever enjoyed. It all feels murky, primordial, pagan, and ritualistic, like the rhythms of life's many gives and takes. one song feels like an evening in a thick, stinky swamp. another feels like you are taken to a mountaintop for a wind elemental to screech in your face for some minutes. it's hard to tell if i love this more than Altar w/ Boris

Buckethead's finest solo release. It might be equaled to a few of his other later solo efforts, but this one is such a string of banger after banger of unfettered metal with progressive and avant garde elements. it's so consistently high throughout the whole album, even the weird skits and serial killer songs certainly bring it to the realm of concept album; it wraps up in one of the most fun metal experiences. Metal doesn't always have to be so dark and gloomy, BH always brings fun to the table

When your instrumental metal's chug chugga chug chugs arent heavy enough, here comes Fractalize with an amazing style of music that i can only describe as rhytmic earthquakes. More like chug. chak-chak. chug chugaa CHOOM Chak CHOOM.

Each song is an intense conflict taking place deep underground in the darkest, dankest cave, with interesting progression of one musical idea to another.

Another great composition of abstract, rhythmic and moody musical ideas.

Feels like cosmic gods clashing in a cyclopean ruin

some of the fastest slap bass ever, this album has a unique sound amongst other Bucketheadland pikes
