Peeping Tom is the debut album of American rock band Peeping Tom. It was released May 30, 2006 on Mike Patton's record label, Ipecac Records. The album was produced by swapping song files through the mail[citation needed] with collaborators such as Norah Jones, Kool Keith, and Massive Attack, among others.

The album, and the band associated with it, is named after Michael Powell's 1960 film Peeping Tom, which Patton has mentioned liking.[12]

Music

Critics generally ascribed the musical style of Peeping Tom as pop, trip hop, experimental and rap rock. Norah Jones' appearance on the song "Sucker" attracted attention as it was the first time Jones used profanity in a recording.[13]

Release and reception

Peeping Tom debuted #12 mainstream album ARIA charts & #1 ARIA urban album chart on June 7, 2006. The first single from the self-titled record is "Mojo". It is accompanied by a music video featuring appearances by Danny DeVito, Mark Hoppus, Rachel Hunter as well as song collaborators Dan the Automator and Rahzel.[citation needed] The video was created by music video director Matt McDermitt. The song featured in the pilot episode of "Californication".

For the week ending June 17, 2006, Peeping Tom was the top debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart, appearing at #103 with 10,000 units shipped. This is the highest-ever entry on this chart for the Ipecac Recordings label.[citation needed]

The CD came unique with packaging. As the tab on the right was pulled the CD popped out of the left side while the image a woman through a keyhole changed to that of an eye while on the righthand said images and credits were displayed.
