Smokin' Buds are not the musical journey itself. They're more like a ticket to ride. Or an enjoyable travel companion who brought an extra super-comfy pillow and blanket just for you. Or a friendly little sprite who lives inside your ear, delivering mind-bending dots and loops to your brain while making sure your eyes don't wander off in two different directions while he buffalos your skull. Whatever they are, they sound delicious.
