People these days work harder for less and are told that they aren't working hard enough.
Sure it's a relevant message, but it's not a message I look to ICP for, since their delivery is so poor and their motives so self-absorbed.

Miracles was not about envy of the educated. It was a very sad and immature attempt at telling people to appreciate whats around them. I mean, ICP songs aren't that complicated, how you could confuse the concepts behind them is beyond me.
Their anti-intellectualism is unintentional, but all that **** about scientists being liars just comes off as them being ignorant and bitter about other people being more educated than them.

I strongly disagree with the Twiztid statement. I don't think I can convince you otherwise, if you don't see growth between W.I.C.K.E.D. and Freek Show.
Probably not.
