2 stars Pike 5: Look Up There

Art Review: What do I see? Eyes that gleam, protect the weak, slunk at your feet. Fear. 1/1

Track 1: Golden Eyes (10:49) Starts off with this cool drum beat and some cool effected guitar. Reverb and maybe some phrases I'm not sure about. The drums are really cool with a lot of variety, switching around. Some ambient lazer like sounds slightly fill the background. The guitar is very present and hops around, stops, and switches it up. Bass is the only backing here for the guitar, so it does feel like a drawn out solo but it's not bad. There is some weird effect going on and I really have no clue what it is but it is. I'll just call it the slunk tube. So we got some slunk tube going on with some nice drums, and sick soloing, but that's it. There really isn't much else to say about this song. The solo is sick and has a lot of good variation but that's about all its giving. 6/10

Track 2: Look Up There (21:38) Now this one is more ambient, airy, no drums in the beginning, and they slowly build up and buckethead solos for 21 minutes. Guitar is really clean, maybe a tad overdriven. Solo just goes and goes and buckethead changes it around a tad here and there, breaking out into slick fast solos or heavier bits with the wah. Song still just sounds the same all the way through. A jam track is basically all this is. 5/10

Overall a very lackluster album with not much content. 4/10
