Puscifer is the brainchild of Tool/A Perfect Circle front man Maynard James Keenan. Spin said of the debut album: "...sharp and giant-sounding, with a delightfully subversive sense of melody" while Kerrang described the set as "Filthy, sexy, electronic beats that writhe and shake it like Tool never could." With Conditions of My Parole, Keenan retreated to his Arizona homestead, recording the twelve-track album he describes as "Twin Peaks in the desert." The result is twelve slightly sinister yet perversely danceable songs that use the notoriously reclusive Keenan's surroundings as inspiration.
