There is no other album that captures and expresses this unique style like Crime Slunk Scene does. However, there is a specific genre of music that you can't really describe without simply addressing it as "Buckethead". When it comes to his peaceful material, you could say Colma, while Pepper's Ghost could be the primary ambassador for his riff-happy metal material. Buckethead figure crafted from a nice man out down Texas way.With Buckethead's ever expanding sea of music, it's hard to try to pinpoint a single album that can define his style.Travis Dickerson - Additional guitar recording.Dan Brewer Monti - Programming and production."Gory Head Stump 2006: The Pageant of the Slunks" is a re-recorded and extended version of the song "Hook and Pole Gang" from the album Bucketheadland.The song was made available for free download along with the songs "LeBron" and "LeBron's Hammer" from the 2009 album Slaughterhouse on the Prairie, in honor of James' 24th birthday.

The first is a regular vinyl, a second signed and numbered format, and a third limited edition package including the previous, plus a signed photo and poster, a guitar pick, and a sticker. This version excludes the final two tracks ("Mecha Gigan" and "Slunk Parade AKA Freaks in the Back") and is offered in three editions. On April 27, 2017, Buckethead announced a vinyl format of this album through his label "Buckethead Pikes" marking the first time since its inception that the label has released a non-pike album. The song was later included as DLC on Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock. VH1 included it 8th on the list of "20 Greatest Heavy Metal Instrumentals". Loudwire described it as "smoothest legato shreds of all-time". "Soothsayer" was voted third best guitar solo of the 2000s by the Ultimate Guitar community. The track "Soothsayer" (dedicated to Buckethead's late aunt) has become one of his more popular songs, and is frequently played live. The album went out of print once again in February 2012, and with no plans of repressing it a third time. When the pre-orders reached a certain amount, the re-pressing was green-lit and released on April 12, 2007.

However, as future projects took up a lot of time, fans were asked to pre-order the re-pressing of Crime Slunk Scene, with no set date for the album's release. After going out of print, the demand for the album remained high, and eventually Travis Dickerson attempted a re-pressing of the disc.
