Forensic Follies is Buckethead's 27th solo album and 6th album to be originally released on tour. It was announced on May 26th for a June 1st release.
The record has a very different sound compared to any of Buckethead's previous releases. Using riff and beat samples from older songs, the pieces are then reconstructed in a 'chopped up' style.
Forensic Follies is mainly comprised of guitar playing over backing tracks from previous albums. "Splinter in a Slunk's Eye", for example, uses the drum track from "Korova Binge Bar" from Island of Lost Minds. This track also features many pieces of songs from Albino Slug, most notably "Symmetrical Slug" and "Siege Engine". "Slunk Shrine" uses the drum track from "Gigan" off the album The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, while other songs feature sounds from Buckethead's album Slaughterhouse on the Prairie.
