Giant Robot is the second studio album release by Buckethead, loosely following the same concept as his previous album (Bucketheadland). Again the album was originally a Japanese only release. Giant Robot features many guest appearances by artists such as Iggy Pop and Bill Moseley.

The reason "Binge and Grab" is noted as being an "instrumental version" is because the song is originally a Deli Creeps song with lyrics. There is no known studio recording of the Deli Creeps version but there are many bootleg copies from live shows which can be found.

The track "Pure Imagination," features an introduction message that sounds like Mudbone, Richard Pryor's most famous character.
