Deli Creeps? They are that apron wearing band. 15 years after the conception of the Deli Creeps they have finally released their debut album. Having previously released several demos and disbanding several times I'm sure many of their fans are ecstatic to finally have this in their hands. 

Deli Creeps consists of Maximum Bob on vocals, having also sung backup vocals on Mr. Bungle’s debut. As well as lending his talents to NECK. Guitarist Buckethead, most known for his four year stint with Guns N Roses. Buckethead also has a back catalogue of solo and many other projects spanning back to the early 90's. Lastly skinsman Pinchface who has mainly worked on Buckethead's solo releases, as well as some of his other bands such as "Cornbugs". These three have been members since the beginning. Dan Monti is now the main bassist in the band. Having also worked with Buckethead on his solo releases.

"Can I Have a Ride" a Deli Creep classic starts the release. Buckethead takes a backseat for those familiar with his past works. Allowing Maximum Bob to shine, shouting his unusual vocals over low grooves. The lyrics are more rants, spewing from his mouth. The ballad "Found Body" lets Bob display his singing talents, crooning about a bloated body he found the other day. "Time" is also in a similar style, except the lyrics are a little more on the serious side. "Buried Deep Stays Buried Still" has a very catchy chorus which is contrasted by some odd effects and song structure. Defiantly a high light of the album. "Grandpa Bill", "Chores", "Boom Ch Ka" and "Random Killing" are all Deli Creep classics. Anyone who's been following Buckethead's past work will find "Random Killing" very familiar.

The only real problem I could find with this album where the two spoken word tracks "Hatchet" and "Beauty Of Life". While they are hilarious, and I don't think their should be a Deli Creeps album without such tracks. I can see some listeners not liking them, or not understanding why they are there. I would of also liked to hear some more soloing by Buckethead, but I can find that elsewhere.

Well crafted songs that stick in your heard, with abnormal lyrical content which makes the band something special. In a genre populated with Radio Rock and Metalcore this is a pleasant change from the overused sounds which we hear so much. Anyone with an open mind and an ear for great music should really enjoy this album. If you can get your hands on a copy that is.

Rating: 4/5
