Review
For his first solo album, John Lydon decided to tentatively explore electronica without leaving behind the guitar growl that made the Sex Pistols' 1996 reunion a success. The guitars are woven into the electronic dance beats throughout Psycho's Path, which occasionally results in some exciting juxtapositions. However, it too often sounds like Lydon doesn't know how to follow through on his ideas; at worst, he sounds as if he's grasping for the ideas himself. Even with its faults, Psycho's Path sounds more alive and ambitious than the last handful of Public Image Limited albums, and certainly more vital than the Sex Pistols reunion, so it is a respectable comeback of sorts. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi| Psycho the Rapist (2007 Album by Acumen Nation) | |

- The artwork was created by Lydon. He took a picture of himself, painted a similar portrait over it, and loaded it into Adobe Photoshop. All of the lyrics for the album are included in the liner-notes, hand-written, from Lydon's original writings.
- The album includes remixes from The Chemical Brothers, Moby, Leftfield and Danny Saber. Lydon was forced by Virgin Records to add the remixes to lengthen the album and attract the listeners of the dance-club hit "Open Up" by Leftfield which was remixed by The Chemical Brothers for the album.
Release
Virgin Records released the album and gave little, if any, commercial support for its release. A tour supporting the album was started and ended after only a few dates because of Lydon's anger for the lack of support.
Music video
- A music video for "Sun" was created with Lydon dancing and lip-synching in front of a blue screen. The video's premise is that of postcards that tell the story of a man who poisons his adulterous wife and ends up dancing on her grave. The Leftfield mix of the song, not Lydon's, was used for the music video.
