Patton's influences have always been pretty far flung. Let's not forget who truly fused Rock and Hip Hop in a successful song first. "Epic", Faith No More's breakthrough single showed that the two genres could be mixed seamlessly. Patton clearly still holds Hip Hop close to his heart. Much of the production and some of the lyrical style pay tribute to Hip Hop and the opening song has a Dr. Dre-like ring to the production.

"Mojo", featuring Rahzel, the human beatbox, highlights the early part of the record. It's difficult to believe that some of the sounds on this track are coming from the mouth of a human being, but those familiar with Rahzel's work will only be able to smile and nod. "Your Neighborhood Spacemen" trips along nicely as well. Its mellow vibe doesn't last, however, as there are some creepy Patton-moments stuck into the song as well. Some of the affectations Patton can lend to his own voice are so trademark that other vocalists will be trying to copy them long after Patton is gone. Perhaps the greatest moment on the record, however, comes near the end. The song "Sucker" features Norah Jones, the adult contemporary Jazz sensation of a couple of years ago. Her vocals are echoed and mixed with Patton's, but it's her liberal use of the old F-bomb that really gets your attention. She and Patton make a cute vocal couple.

It's hard to say just where Peeping Tom fits into today's musical jigsaw puzzle. It's a musical collage inspired by a forty-five year old movie made by an artist who is as abstract as they come.
