MJ Keenan is fulfilling voids not ventured in his other two outfits. Electronica, humor, sampling, characterizations & actual Female Vox. It's all there & tastefully done. "V is for..." is layered and complex, w/out sounding cluttered, chaotic or contrived. The blending of his vocals w/a womans voice has delivered a powerful noise, that doesn't require MJK to expend anything more than his natural skills. We know he can belt the notes & db's on levels unparalleled by any other lyricist; yet he carefully cruises through the melodies & hooks- allowing the power to manifest simply via overdubs. A beautiful arrangement: original, sultry, provocative. After seeing Puscifer perform live in S.F. last weekend, I even appreciate the music more. Conditions of My Parole, his latest album(released 10/11)- continues the journey onward. If you haven't heard either...take a moment or two & open an ear. You may find that a pleasant suprize is awaiting!Read full review
Im never disappointed in anything James Maynard Keenan has his hands in. The music and lyrics are nothing short of its own masterpieces. So Powerful!

This CD is great....... If you like APC or Tool, it sounds nothing like that so please dont exspect to hear a hard rock album. Its Maynard doing something completely different but still remains just as interesting. The album experiments with many different sounds and concepts that you would not associate with M.J.K. I love it, you might love it too, so buy it....
Love this album front to back!!!
