N.B. The music is nothing like Tool or A Perfect Circle!
The latest offering from vocalist Maynard James Keenan is very layered and a lot more industrial than any of his previous work. Helped out by "a revolving door of talented people" (as he describes it) including Danny Lohner, an ex-Nine Inch Nails guitarist, a lot of different sounds emerge from the album. For me, the most overiding instrument however was Maynard's own voice. He sings in a very low pitch for most of the album and in many places his voice is mixed on top of itself, creating a smooth tribal chanting sort of effect. The lyrics are mostly inaudible, but i think that's because the focus is intended to be on the music.
Song by song:
Queen B - 5/5
One of my favourites on the album - has a strong drummed beat and Maynard's humming and singing creates a great atmosphere.
DoZo (Version 2) - 4/5
Very rhythmic, again with some chanting in the backround, quite relaxing.
Vagina Mine - 4/5
Any Tool fans out there would probably agree with me that in places throughout this song, Maynard's vocals are similar to the low voice he uses in Wings Pt 2 off 10,000 days. For those who dont know, thats a low talking voice - great to chill out to. Interesting guitar and nice song overall.
Momma Sed - 5/5
My favourite song on the album, this has an INSANELY catchy acoustic guitar riff, which makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Also makes me want to dance and has a great chorus. I guarantee you will be addicted!
Drunk With Power - 4/5
Army-esque drumming and Maynard's quavering voice make a haunting, peaceful mood - good song.
The Undertaker - 4/5
While I do like this song, Maynard also produced a different remix for the Underworld: Evolution Soundtrack, which is much better and I would seriously recommend you buy off iTunes, if you're unsure about whether or not to buy the album. The remix really makes me want to dance, but the album version simply isn't as good.
Trekka - 4/5
An eerie song - Maynard's whispering and rhythmic chanting in the backround is pretty spooky but catchy.
Indigo Children - 5/5
Another favourite of mine, this has really funky synths and catchy drumming.
Sour Grapes - 4/5
Strange song - Maynard sounds like he's preaching, but still good - more chanting in the backround.
Rev 22:20 (Dry Martini Mix) - 4/5
Again, a similar issue to that of The Undertaker, Maynard made a remix for the Underworld soundtrack, which in my opinion is a 5 star song and should be bought off iTunes.
Overall a really good album, more music to chill out and in places dance to, than music to headbang to, but i should think most Maynard fans won't be disappointed. I should also mention the the album artwork is very funny and makes it worth buying the actual physical CD. Enjoy!

Yes, I am a huge fan of Tool, APC and Maynard in general and No I didn't expect Puscifer to be anything like either of his other main projects. I expected Puscifer to be like the amazing tracks on the Underworld OST. They were dark, sexy, different and beautifully showcased one of the most innovative vocal talents I have ever heard.
I was aching for more Puscifer and while I would say that this is far from a bad album, Indigo Children being the stand out track for me, I wouldn't quite say I get where MJK is coming from this time around. The music is very experimental and conjurs up some colorful mindscapes but the one thing missing for me overall is Maynards powerful yet haunting voice.
I wouldn't have ever guessed this was Puscifer if I hadn't been so excited, awaiting this album.
I'm not just some dumb Tool fan throwing my toys out of the pram, just a little disappointed is all!

Hi all I bought this despite the negative vibes from alleged TOOL fans. The whole point of music like art is that the beauty is the eye or ear of the beholder. There really are some sad b!"£$%s out there who are so blinkered about music that they criticise puscifer for not sounding like tool.
The album is an amazing soundscape unilizing Maynards voice and progamming skills, if only the sad people would listen to it more than once and appreciate what a genius the man is. The standout tracks are ttrekka and Indigo Children. There is a touch of Peter gabriels OVO about some of the music on the cd.
I thought it was refreshingly new and different sound, keep it up Maynard your true fans appreciate what you are about.

Very good
Great work from Maynard and co. It doesn't sound like TOOL, it's different, but it's great.

Outstanding
It has taken me a while to write this review, because when I got the CD it took me time to adjust to this new style from Keenan. Read more

Puscifer is like no other. Forget about Tool and A Perfect Circle and just listen to this with an open mind, you will not be disappointed. Read more

Hard to ignore
I was quite surprised to find another band fronted by Maynard. I can't say I've known about his talent for very long- a year at most. Read more

Weird but listenable side-project from Tool man
Prior to the release of this album, Maynard James Keenan was quoted to have said that sometimes he just wants to hear Gnarls Barkley. Read more

Disappointment written all over it
As a fan of Tool, and a perfect circle, I was extremely disappointed with this, the first and hopefully last installment from Pucifer. Read more
