Buckethead chronology

The Day of the Robot is the third studio album by Buckethead. It is often referred to as his "Jungle" album due to the presence of UK "Beat Scientist" DJ Ninj, an occasional Bill Laswell collaborateur.^[1] It is currently out of print, making it a valuable collector's item, but can be found in the download store of TDRS Music.

The title "The Day Of The Robot" is most likely a reference to The Six Million Dollar Man episode of the same name, while "" refers to the character from Johnny Sokko's Flying Robot.
