Population Override is the 12th album by Buckethead, but it could be seen as a collaboration with keyboardist Travis Dickerson. The album is a tribute to the "great vinyl records of the '60s and '70s"[1], with songs more often than not drifting off into long jams. This was written after the sessions for the album "Brain Circus" from the band Cornbugs[2] which features Buckethead, Bill "Choptop" Moseley, Pinchface and Travis Dickerson.

Currently, Too Many Humans, Unrestrained Growth and Cruel Reality of Nature feature as #62, #84 and #240 respectively on the list for 100 Greatest 'Rock' Guitar Solos at digitaldreamdoor.com [3]. And the album ranks at #66 of 100 Greatest Rock 'Guitar' Albums [4].
