Giant Robot is an album by the band Giant Robot, led by guitarist Buckethead; the album was released in 1996. Buckethead had released a solo album entitled Giant Robot in 1994, and to distinguish the two albums, fans refer to this recording as Giant Robot NTT, after the recording company, NTT Records.

The album contains numerous tracks from other Buckethead albums, such as I Love My Parents from the album Bucketheadland, plus Jowls and Scapula that later appeared on the 1999 album Monsters and Robots.

The album uses numerous samples from films in its songs, for instance the track Well, Well, Well contains a clip from A Clockwork Orange when protagonist Alex encounters his former friends, the Droogs as police officers.

This holy grail to fans is rare and is no longer being printed. It is legally available to download free at Buckethead Coop, and it appears occasionally in eBay auctions. Consider paying several hundred dollar for a copy in good shape.
