siLLy puPPy PIKE 225- FLORRMAT 6th album released by BUCKETHEAD in 2016 Released January 27, 2016 All instrumental exclusively by BUCKETHEAD

Near half hour mark at 28:59 This one has seven shorter tracks all titled “Florrmat” all under five minutes WTF does FLORRMAT mean? A florist who is easily taken advantage of? Sure, why not

“Part 1” (4:26) is a simple hard rocking riff that alternates with a slower part. Bass and drums interact accordingly to the guitars. Typical, meh, next

“Part 2” (5:25) starts out with an echoey guitar, bass and drums. Sounds the same as the first. Ha some semi-interesting riff timings seldomly but basically meh, next. The main riff actually has a Pantera thrashy riff that is lifted from “Domination” but only a castrated version of it

“Part 3” (4:48) is another alternative rocker that borders on metal but not quite. Another meh track

“Part 4” (3:57) starts off with a mellow mid tempo guitar, bass and drum. Not a bad melody and then gets a little more rockin’. Best track so far but that’s not saying much.

“Part 5” (3:40) continues unnoticed with a hard rock riff that is kind of thrashy but too soft to qualify. Ok but too week to be metal and just another meh track

“Part 6” (2:53) pretty much continues the mediocrity.

“Part 7” (3:50) and continues the same boring riff. Snooze

This year my ratings have gotten stricter as these PIKEs seem ever more unnecessary. Well played but nothing new and this one not even so great as background sounds. Yawn
