Conditions of My Parole Puscifer

“On the second full-length by his electro-rock side project, Maynard James Keenan sounds no less gloomy (or doomy) than he does with Tool. But Conditions of My Parole, featuring a supporting cast that includes Keenan’s son Devo and ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, reveals a more reassuring side of a singer better known for willful alienation. He’ll leave the black light on for you.” - Mikael Wood, SPIN

“A departure from the angst of Tool and the esoteric darkness of A Perfect Circle, the synth-heavy album has a more autumnal feeling about it, combining layers of electronic ambience and programmed drums with Maynard James Keenan’s yearning vocals to create a kind of cold loneliness. While the album can, at times, feel unfocused, that’s also the point of a project like Puscifer, which allows us to take a look inside the mind of one of the most creative frontmen of the last 20 years.” - AllMusic
