Tasty Bucket!.......2007-07-04

This is my favorite Buckhead album. I beleive the "song" structure works well for Buckethead and the various singers make all of the songs sound very different.
If you are bored with today's music, check out Buckethead.
He is always different!

Too experimental for me. .......2007-06-27

I really like Buckethead. But i don't like this album. I find that it is perhaps too experimental for me (except for Nottingham Lace, which is beautiful). I think part of the problem is I don't really like the music of the people he is teaming up with. They are all great artists, but their experimentations are waaay out there.

stick to instrumental.......2007-02-28

buckethead is the greatest guiarist who ever lived and doesn't get the credit, but this is an absolutly terrible album. I liked Nottingham Lace and the hand and i liked We are one, but the rest was either screamy or boring.(however the interlude was pretty funny). this was my first buckethead album, because i just picked a random cd and bought it (RLY STUPID IDEA) If u dont actualy like buckethead and you absolutly had to get an album of his get this, but if you like the instrumentals then get something else and download nottingham lace. Don't let this be your first album because a person who truly appreciates guitar would be automaticly turned off.

hit.......2007-02-19

Buckethead albums can be a hit-or-miss deal. His proficiency as a guitarist goes without argument, for he does stuff and displays a rage of sound that I could never HOPE to access, but I think he tends to really show his mettle in collaboration rather than on his own. Take his work with Praxis and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains and you will see a master in his element. On his solo albums, it seems to take a major talent to work off of to make his stuff really work. _Monster & Robots_ is an appropriately monster of an album, but stuff like _Bucketheadland_ and _Colma_ let the tall, lanky guy do a little bit too much of his own wandering.

But with _Enter the Chicken_, Buckethead is back to mush the faces of his nay-sayers in their own crap. And I feel that I have been appropriately mushed. His tracks with Serj Tankian of System of a Down bring Tankian's speed-metal vocal tempo to a new height, and Buckethead shows a precision and depth of sound even in speed metal. Buckethead has repeatedly been able to show off a guitar-god lick or two in most of work, with "Elephant Ghost" and "The Interworld and the New Innocence" being notable faves, but "Nottingham Lace" is one to rank right up there with all the other Buckethead guitar god tracks. The man (?) has an innate sense of the instrumental and can direct a song into wild directions without a single lick of vocals...but he is not averse to the voice either.

It is always good to find another classic Buckethead album. May he live to be a thousand.

holy crud new bucketstud!.......2006-06-03

Having all of buckets albums from his work with praxis on, I think that this one might actually make him famous. His work with serj is phenomenal, good production, and vocals. Its an eclectic mix, sort of like monsters and robots only much much better. If you liked colma you should enjoy this one. The middle three songs are really mellow culminating with waiting hare, the best song on the album. I dont know where serj found this chick, but she wails. Unlike monsters and robots this album actually flows and has a sense of cohesion that is somtimes lacking in bucketheads albums.Did i mention great vocals? well i stand by that, this time around the lyrics dont sound as much like they were written by an acid casuality, they make sense, they arent quite as scary, in fact at times they are actually quite tender. All in all this is a great addition to my collection, if you are just learning about the man behind the bucket, or if you already love chicken, and want more meat and bones pick this one up.Bucket and serj, if youre out there, keep making these albums,please please please!

Customer Reviews:

A great CD!.......2006-06-03

The music and Mia's powerful vocals made this band! Infact Mia was such a great singer, after she die the rest of the band could not replace her. There is no one out there that can sound like this band! They had their own sound. Later Joan Jett sing many gits songs in the short lived band evil stig, but not even she could not reach the leavel Mia could.

It's awesome!.......2006-04-04

Great work from the Gits! You can tell they work real hard on this remaster cd! The world will be missing Mia!

eclectic, powerful, relevant.......2003-04-26

more melodic than frenching the bully. it even features a great cover of sam cook's "change is gonna come". zapata's voice is rich and soulful even on the hardest song on the album, "spear and magic helmet".

great, uplifting, powerful lyrics. "seaweed" and "beauty of a rose" are good examples of that. it's full of depair but full of hope at the same time (like an aa meeting). in "spear and magic helmet" zapata has a few choice words to say to all the sexual predators and about the rape and assault of women, which on this posthumous release, has taken on an even more poigniant message. but it isn't all dark. there's some comic relief as well in "the italian song" and "drunks".

i do have a few production qualms. first, the guitarist overdubs on his parts too much. it's very obvious because those fills sound louder than the rest of the parts. he could've easily left out most of them because they don't enhance the songs in any way. second, my biggest gripe, is the drummer who hits the crash way too much on the downbeat so the whole album sounds crispy and trebble-y. now it's a rare thing to even hear a solo on a punk album so i have to give the guitarist a little credit for that. but the same exact solo on each song?

despite these little, nagging imperfections the rhythm section has, what really holds it together are the good tunes. you will find that much of punk is comprised of the same chord arrangements but with slightly different lyrics. many bands have written a hundred songs using only three chords (that's right, social distortion!). this isn't predicable, repetitive, atonal drivel. the songs on this album are better-written than on frenching. my guilty pleasure is the pop-sounding "bob (cousin o.)".

perhaps mia zapata is the best part of the band. unlike many women in punk, she didn't take an overly feminist or political stance (listen to "i don't need your social love"). i liked that great just-one-of-the-guys attitude. you've got to have huevos muy grande to belt out a rowdy barroom anthem like "the drinking song". she had a great voice that could have easily been in blues or on one of those pat benetar power ballads. and she would have given that milktoast "blues" singer bonnie rait a run for her money. to decribe the sound? a kind of cross between patty smith and janis joplin.

there's none of that faux machismo, lesbian-oriented stuff either that would drive away most guys from listening to a female-fronted band.

in short, very accesible as far as "punk" goes. carries a nice melody without sounding too pretty and appeals to a wide audience; males, females, metalheads, riot grrls alike.

The cd is fuggin' awesome! I also recommend their other one Frenching the Bully. It is just as good. If yer into punk you'll love this. Mia sings about life love and all the other things that keep ya goin'. This was the best cd I have bought since Skrewdriver's Boots and Braces!

Enter: The Conquering Chicken . . .fast and powerful.......1998-12-09

Unfortunately, I had heard of the gits due to the tragic death of lead singer, mia zapata. I heard a few songs by the band and decided to buy Enter: The Conquering Chicken . . . it was probably one of my better purchases . . .raw, powerful, full of genuine punk attitude and feeling !!!!!! This is definely an album to buy if you want to rock out.
