I love reviewing things, but I love ranting about things even more. Reviewing the first album of one of the most maligned music acts ever will be so much fun.
Tracks:
1. Intro: 8/10 a pretty good intro which sets up the concept album well.
2. Carnival of Carnage: 5/10 an odd first track (Intro was more of a skit) overall. If I hear "Carnival of Carnage" one more time...
3. The Juggla: 3/10 with rhymes more simplistic than a nursery rhyme and a lack of anything actually scary, this is utterly awful although to be fair you can't help but laugh at how awful it is.
4. First Day Out: 2/10 try to listen to this without zoning out completely. You'll fail miserably I'm afraid.
5. Red Neck Hoe: 1/10 don't get mad. Just be sympathetic. After all, these are the ones spitting out loads of ugly lyrics and thinking they're being scary when they're about as a scary as a pink polka dot bunny.
6. Wizard of the Hood: 6/10 a humorous but still deeply flawed parody of The Wizard of Oz.
7. Guts on the Ceiling: 3/10 on one hand, at least this has some sort of beat. On the other hand, the lyrics are still some of the worst I've ever heard.
8. Is That You?: 3/10 Kid Rock might make this more bearable but that's far from a reccomendation.
9. Night of the Axe: 2/10 this is awful. There's no question of that. The main question is whether I can endure another minute.
10. Psychopathic: 2/1 the good: The Halloween theme song. The bad and the ugly: Everything else.
11. Blackin' Your Eyes: 1/10 this is really depressing. As well as the usual awfulness, in this tack we have to deal with loads of misogyny.
12. Never Had it Made: 3/10 couldn't they have made these awful songs funny at the very least?
13. Your Rebel Flag: 2/10 more unbearably awful stuff. This is barely even rap music, as Insane Clown Posse don't rap. They just talk in a monotonous way.
14. Ghetto Freak Show: 1/10 this one doesn't really have a tune and this one's only achievement is to have horrid lyrics yet be so boring and undisturbing.
15. Taste: 4/10 still terrible, but at least this one has some social commentary.
Best song: Wizard of the Hood
Worst song: Blackin' Your Eyes
Summary: I honestly don't have any words. This is the worst album I have ever listened to by considerable distance. The thing is, I fully respect your opinion if you like these guys. I just find their music... not even ugly or scary, just so, so boring and awful in every single way. There is not a hint of art, wordplay or intellect here. Rather, it is reciting vaguely disturbing things against some listless and appalling instrumentals. There's bad music and then there's this. This stuff which somehow is very popular and the duo have a huge fanbase. Some things simply can't be explained. Once again, if you like these guys I respect your views... I just can't comprehend them.
Final rating: 1/10
