    Put 'Peeping Tom' on the stereo and it's as slickly dark and eminently devourable as Hip-Hop with R&B overtones can be, though whack it on the headphones and you're introduced to something infinitely superior.

    While poppier and more accessible than his albums fronting Fantomas, it's worth the wait. [Jul 2006, p.104]

    Many of the collaborations are jarring. [Jul 2006, p.115]

    A floundering mess that bores you to tears.

    An awesome, experimental album. But then again, it's Mike Patton, so that's a given. And great guests, too. Kool Keith and Dan the Automator. Awesome. This who album completely blows away anything in rock, trip hop, or punk released lately. I mean, just listen to the reheated, rehashed bull that's been coming out lately. Mike is refreshing burst of originality, as usual. And screw Entertainment!! LINKIN PARK? Are you serious? Has that critic even heard a Linkin Park album? Mike Patton never has and never will sound like Linkin Park, and this album is no different. The fact that you would even compare the two artist is ridiculous and offensive. Linkin Park rehashes the same old nu-metal. Mike doesn't.… Expand

    It's more genius from Patton AND the collaborators, and if you can't handle it that is YOUR bad. OK not all songs grabbed me, but at least appreciate TALENT!!! It should be encouraged! MOFO is an excellent song!… Expand
