Free Music Notes for Riddle Box
Free Music Review: It's The Wicked Clown Show
Hit: 5 Stars
Riddlebox. Just saying that brings to mind some great memories I've had with this album playing. This is one of my favorite ICP albums, though its hard to pick a favorite. This was one of ICP's darkest albums and one of their best.
Intro(9/10) Sets up the mood for the album.
Riddlebox(9/10) Short song about what the Riddlebox is and sets the tone for whats to come.
The Show Must Go On(10/10) A song of almost perfection. Good lyrics, great chorus, cool circus music.
Chicken Huntin'(10/10) Like I said in my review of Ringmaster, this version in my opinion is superior. Great lyrics mixed with great music.
Interview Skit(8/10) Funny mock interview about the band.
Toy Box(10/10) Kickin' song about being a nerd and making your own toys that kill those you hate.
Cemetary Girl(10/10) The warpedness is great. Being able to joke about certain topics (like digging up your dead girlfriend) is what has always made ICP unique.
3 Rings(9/10) Good song about being a freek show. Catchy song.
Headless Boogie(8/10) Has its ups and downs. Realy good chorus.
The Joker's Wild(9/10) J has his own game show and tortures the contestants who screwed him over.
Dead Body Man(10/10) Also on Tunnel Of Love EP. For those that don't know this song rocks. A Juggalo fav that they play at their shows.
Lil' Somthin' Somthin'(3/10) Just couldn't get into it. Never realy liked it.
Ol' Evil Eye(9/10) Edgar Allen Poe-ish song about an old man with a weird eye and they kill him.
12(10/10) One of the best songs on the album. True wicked s***. ICP style.
Killing Fields(8/10) Creepy song about being dead and being damned to roam in the killing fields.
I'm Coming Home(5/10) I'll get bashed by other Juggalos for saying this but I don't realy care for this song. I think its the music I don't like. Either way, it grows on you. I usually skip it.
Overall, One of ICP's best. MCL
Free Music Review: INSANE CLOWN POSSIE RIDDLE BOX
Hit: 5 Stars
WELL I THINK THAT THE RIDDLE BOX IS PRETTY COOL, BUT NOT EVERYONE LIKES INSANE CLOWN POSSIE. SOME THINK THEY ARE TOO VILIONT AND TOO MUCH EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW WHO (ICP)OR INSANECLOWN POSSIE IS AND ALOT DON'T. I KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW WHO THEY WERE UNTILL A FRIEND SHOWED ME ABOUT A YEAR OR 2 AGO. THEY HAVE OTHER CD'S LIKE RINGMASTER,GREATMILINKO,CARNIVAL CARNAGE,TUNNEL OF LOVE,AMAZEING JACKELBROTHERS,FORGOTTEN FRESHNESS VOLUME 1&2,RIDDLEBOX.WELL THOSE WHO KNOW WHO THEY ARE KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WHEN I LIKE A CERTIAN BAND ALOT I USUALY GET SOME INFORMATION ON THEM. I THINK THEIR MUSIC IS COOL OR SHOULD I SAY "AWSOME"! IT MAYBE SOME RAP BUT TO PUT IT IN A RAP CATEGORY I WOULD SAY IT IS THE ONLY KIND I ACTUALLY LIKE. I WOULD CALL IT RAP AND A LITTLE BIT OF ROCK. I LEARNED THAT THEY PLAYED IN A MOVIE AND WRESTLE SOMETIMES OR MAYBE NOT. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEIR MUSIC SO THEY DON'T LIKE THEM,NOW IF YOU JUST TAKE TIME TO LISTEN YOU MIGHT LEARNED TO UNDERSTAND. AND I DON'T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD JUDGE BY THE TITLE AND ALBUM NAME.THEY SHOULD JUST SIT DOWN AND LISTEN, THEY MIGHT EVEN LIKE IT. FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND, THE LRYICS ARE RYMEABLE AND THAT IS IMPORTANT. I HONESTLY FEEL THAT THEY ENJOY WHAT THEY DO BY THE MUSIC.SO MY OPION IS THAT THEY SHOULD KEEP UP WITH THE WORK CAUSE THIER MUSIC IS REALY GOOD AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF BEHIND THIER MUSIC THEY REALY ENJOY IT,CONSIDERING I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. AT LEAST THEY WANT THIER FANS TO LOVE OR LIKE THE MUSIC. SO THAT IS A GOOD THING. I'M NOT A MUSIC EXPERT AND SONG WRITTER ,I POSITIVELY KNOW THAT I KNOW MY OPION AND EVERYONE KNOWS THIERS. IF I COULD LET THE BAND KNOW THAT I ENJOY THIER MUSIC I WOULD. MUSIC IS MY FAVORITE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.ICP'S MUSIC I WILL ALWAYS LIKE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE BASICKLY IT IS GOOD AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.I FORGOT ONE CD NAME. (BIZZAR) AND THIER NAMES ARE OF THE BAND IS SHAGGY2DOPE,MIK E CLARK AND VILONT J.NOW THIS IS THE END.Free Music Review: The Jokes On You
Hit: 5 Stars
The 3rd Jokers Card is ICP before the guitars came along and got rid of the rap beats, this is ICP at their creative peak, also this is the first ICP album that was released on a major record label Jive Records, which i think 2pac was on in 95 i think.
Intro: A funny and evil intro, try and listen for the Southwest Strangla song in the background. 5/5
RiddleBox: Ok, its gets you more ready for the album.3/5
Show Must Go On: Good song but not great. 3/5
Chicken Huntin (SlaughterHouse Remix): What can i say other than its a classic, better than the stale original on The Ringmaster album. 5/5
Interview: Funny 1st time around, but then a skipper after that 1/5
Toy Box: Great song bout J being an evil toy maker, good lyrics but the beat makes the song. 5/5
Cematary Girl: Necrophillia, how nice. great song, if you can get past the horrible issue involved. 5/5
3 Rings: Was originally on Shaggys solo album F*ck Off, but Violent J appeared on it, so they put it on here, its about life of a freak in the circus. 5/5
Headless Boogie: Good idea, J stumbles upon a dead nightclub, meaning its the dead dancing and dj is also dead, good song. 4/5
Jokers Wild: Done in gameshow style, its very funny and violent. 5/5
Dead Body Man: A cult favourite, it appeared on the Terror Wheel EP, its a classic. 5/5
Lil' Somthin' Somthin': The sex song and its horrible, i cant stand it. 1/5
Ol' Evil Eye: Great song and good beat, Shaggy raps excellent on here, also the talking in the back is from The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. 5/5
12: Another classic, needs to be heard. 5/5
Killing Fields: Another Evil song but good as well. 5/5
I'm Coming Home: Great outro song, another classic. 5/5
U need This if u like old school ICP

Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is absolutely great, with the exception of the odd track i like the entire album. For the reviewers that weren't happy with this buy because they feel it didn't live up to the claims of being oldschool i get what you mean because its not what you expected, this album would nopt fit in the catogory of old school for me, it would fit in to the catogory of old school ICP though. This album was a part of a transition for ICP, theyre first album in particular had an oldschool feel to every single track, most of the beats sound like roger troutman and just west coast sound in general inspired, but the lyrics are far from it, there were no expectations for ICP on there first album, they werent expected to do anything and they didnt really only selling 34 copies in its first month but the "carnival of carnage" created an underground following for ICP, the "Ringmaster" was there next LP to be released it kept some of the carnival of carnages feel and definately kept the same crazy lyrics, by now the duo had grown in popularity. The "Riddlebox" LP although it still was crazy, the sound was very much different, the one track in particular that signified change was the "chickien huntin'" slaughter house mix, ICP were at a crossroad on this album which i think is one of the reason why it is so good, it has a great combination of the old school feel found on the carnival of carnage and rock rap found on their follow up album "the great milenko". I reccomend this to any horrorcore or physcopathic fan.
The stand out tracks for me are
-Chicken Huntin (slaughter house mix)
-the joker's wild
-dead body man
-im coming home
although it is hard to pick favourite tracks of this album but the clear standout for me is chicken huntin.
