Actually, I would avoid _Carnival of Carnage_ like it was a plague-riddled leper.

This was the album I had. I wanted to make sure I didn't just imagine it.

Insane Clown Posse
Carnival of Carnage
Rating ***
1992
Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The Insane Clown Posse introduced themselves to the world (well, at least Detroit) with their debut album, Carnival of Carnage. It pretty much spelled out their ludicrous sex'n'drugs'n'crime'n'murder'n'Faygo'n'racism manifesto in no uncertain terms, since subtlety was never part of their agenda. All ICP wants to do is rock the house as if they were a third-rate Beastie Boys supported by a cut-rate Faith No More, all tempered with the sensibility that made GWAR cult heroes -- only with, you know, more sexism and jokes that are supposed to be street, but wind up sounding racist. So, Carnival of Carnage delivers exactly what it promises. If you're down with the ICP -- if you're a juggalo (funny how close that is to "jigaboo," isn't it?) -- you'll find that this album got them off on the right track. If you're not with them, this will certainly give you reasons to hate them.

The entire reason why ICP works is due to Mike E Clark, who does NOT appear on _Carnival Of Carnage_ (which has two good songs, "Wizard In The Hood" and "Red Neck Hoe", one of which is only "good" because of the sheer audacity in making the hook to your song "Bitch, you's a hoe/And hoe, you's a bitch").

Both _Ringmaster_ and _Riddlebox_ are much, much better.

Strange how this still doesn't make me want to buy any more ICP.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 13 September 2004 18:24 (nineteen years ago) link

where the hell do you work? If a coworker tried to talk to me about Slipknot I'd report them to HR and get their asses fired.

kyle (akmonday), Monday, 13 September 2004 18:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I would check out some of the following songs if possible:

From _Ringmaster_: "Murder Go Round", "Who Are You", "The Dead One", "My Fun House", "The Loons", "Wagon Wagon", "One For The Maggots", "Mr Johnson's Head"

From _Riddlebox_: "The Show Must Go On", "My Toybox", "12", "The Killing Fields", "The Joker's Wild", "I'm Coming Home", "Cemetery Girl", "Three Rings"

Defense, from a non-Juggalo.

ICP had a great track early in their career called "Southwest Ghetto Zone." Generic slanging and banging lyrics about SW Detroit, but the beat sampled the synth line from "Do ya think I'm Sexy" and ripped.

Best lyric: I've got my nine in my gut and its starting to hurt/where can you keep a gat wearing Skidz and a t-shirt."

I think this is when the whole "Wicked Clownz" schtick was in its infancy.

I know an otherwise intelligent music mag editor who loves ICP. I have chosen to simply never bring up the subject when we talk.

I was just thinking how great it would be for Momus to come forward as a Juggalo on this thread and post a detailed, six paragraph analysis as to why they are in fact better than the Wu-Tang Clan.

I don't know, I didn't mind ICP when they did that thing with Sonic Youth and The Ex...

exchange in the lunch room last night...
As I'm getting coffee from the vending machine, Jeremy (the ICP/Slipknot fan) comes in to get more fritos.
Under my breath I start singing "I'm just a juggalo/ and everywhere I go/ no-one knows the part I'm playin'/ got a lotta sass/ an' Faygo up my ass..."
at this point he stops me and mutters "David Lee Roth is a Douchebag."
I say "Yeah, he gives me that 'not-so-fresh' feeling too."
Jeremy laughs and goes back down the cow-chute.

So...does all of Roth's post-VH work give you all that 'not-so-fresh' feeling?

Question for Miccio:
Is there alot of overlap between Limp Bisquick fans and ICP/Slipknot fans?

three weeks pass...
You people are all hilarious in my book. First of all you are all making fun of something that you know little to nothing about. The topic started off as a question about GWAR, Slipknot, Metalica and ICP, if I am not mistaken, but somehow has not intertained either Metalica or Slipknot... not even GWAR anymore but instead has focused on the Insane Clown Posse and you all making fun of them. They have claimed to be the most hated band in the world for about ten years or so and I laugh everytime I get on the net and that is always confirmed, then I laugh even harder because ALL OF YOU that hate them think they actually care. There albums are going gold and platnum, do you really think they care what someone on the net thinks? They (namely Shaggy 2 Dope aka Joey Utsler) told Sharon Osbourne (a giant in the music business) to "buff my pickle" on the Howard stern show and when she said, do you realize who you are talking to they said yeah, we do. She said she would get their videos not played and get them taken out of magazines, but they already arent there. They ain't on MTV or any other show that is mainstream. They have done everything that they have without any help and I respect the hell outta them for that. Before you go posting and making fun of people you should know about them. It takes more talent than you think to listen to their music, yeah, they have a lot of funny songs... but they also have some really deep messages IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM, but as they said themselves... you are either with us of forget us. And as another band from the same label said in a song, "Don't let the others get a taste, and if they start to bump this go and smack 'em in the face... you's a band wagon rider giving Juggalos a bad name, we'll fxck you up for that, this ain't no fxckin game"... also... welll, no, you don't deserve anymore lyrics. I'm done.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 October 2004 03:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooops... I just went back and read the question... I got side tracked myself... why the name Juggalos? You would know if you were a fan, being that you obviously aren't a fan you wouldn't understand. It took me years to understand the clowns and their music. It is something that you will not get from a message board, you will only know why and what that is if you listen with an open ear and dig into every lyric and meaning.

That's it.

"All males who like ICP must, by law, have an almost-grown mustache. That kind where it's just starting but you've never shaved before so you just pretend it's not there. "

I wonder: has that poster who revived the thread started shaving his half-grown 'stache yet?

direct self comparisons to browning's freaks and

I’ve been surprised that many people assume everything in the film is real and I’ve taken to half-jokingly paraphrasing Francis Ford Coppola’s line about Apocalypse Now: “My film is not a documentary. My film is not about Juggalos. It is a Juggalo.” My hope is that through the film the myth of the Juggalo deepens and they become more mysterious, more other and more confrontational.
