The announcement of this album came with the confirmation of two other albums featuring Buckethead, ''[[The Dragons of Eden (album)|The Dragons of Eden]]'' and ''[[Bolt on Neck]]'' by the [[Frankenstein Brothers]] (consisting of Buckethead and [[That 1 Guy]]): |
|||
{{cquote|The Dragons CD was not supposed to be announced till today after the first tour show where 3 new CDs where offered for sale. It was a little dull around here so I started what I though were pretty obscure glues above the posts here on the forum. |
|||
Of the three new CDs on the tour, two of them will be tour only for the time being.|4=[[Travis Dickerson]]|5=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tdrsmusic.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=TDRS;action=display;num=1221153784;start=31#31 |title=Travis on TDRS Forum |publisher=Tdrsmusic.com |date= |accessdate=December 1, 2011}}</ref>}} |

The first track of the album, "The Redeem Team", follows Buckethead's line of [[Basketball]] influenced songs (see "[[Jordan (song)|Jordan]]"). It is a clear reference to the [[United States men's national basketball team]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/alexander_wolff/07/22/redeem.team0728/index.html |title=The Redeem Team - Alexander Wolff - SI.com |publisher=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com |date=July 22, 2008 |accessdate=December 1, 2011}}</ref> which won [[Basketball at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men|Olympic gold]] a few months before. |
|||
"Spooner Arks" refers to early Ark producer Charles Spooner.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfa.dept.shef.ac.uk/history/miscellaneous_articles/article19a.html |title=History of Fairs - Miscellaneous Articles - Orton and Spooner :: National Fairground Archive |publisher=Nfa.dept.shef.ac.uk |date= |accessdate=December 1, 2011}}</ref> |
