Album Review:

Wow. Remix albums usually seem like a half-assed attempt to sell you the same product twice with the original vocal tracks thrown over some shitty drum loops. This is nothing like that. These are entirely new compositions based on the themes first conceived on "V" is for Vagina.

Maynard James Keenan enlisted some great talent who put together this creative reconstruction of Puscifer's dance/electronic music. The resulting sounds are so unique that this does not come across a remix album at all. The songs easily stand on their own and are distinguishably different than the originals.

If for no other reason, buy this album for the "Country Boner: "Disco Viagra" Mix by 8MM." This album may be no joke for Keenan and crew, but this song is certainly the punch-line regardless. The prurient decadence ends this chapter of the Puscifer book... or is it a segue into something else also blissfully twisted?
