Puscifer – Money Shot (Quick Ship)

Released in 2015, Puscifer’s 'Money Shot' showcases Maynard James Keenan’s most mischievous and exploratory side. This is not your average side project—every track is a carefully constructed labyrinth of sound, blending rock’s muscular edge with electronic textures, sly humor, and unorthodox storytelling. Keenan, joined by Carina Round and Mat Mitchell, crafts an album that feels both cinematic and deeply intimate, inviting listeners to question, laugh, and lose themselves in the rhythm. 'Money Shot' stands as a testament to the restless creativity that defines Puscifer, refusing to be boxed in by genre conventions. The album’s production is gorgeously layered; from the pulsating drive of 'Galileo' to the sinister groove of 'The Arsonist,' each song rewards close listening. Lyrically, Keenan’s wry observations cut through the noise, offering a satirical lens on modern life’s absurdities. For vinyl collectors, this album is a must-have: it’s a sonic playground for adventurous ears, and a reminder that great art doesn’t play it safe. 'Money Shot' is a bold chapter in contemporary rock—a perfect pick for listeners who crave substance, surprise, and a touch of the surreal.
