Insane Clown Posse - Riddlebox

let's try to keep this short and sweet. it was better than i expected. no, it wasn't a good album. not by hip-hop standards, not by pop standards, and not by entertainment standards. it was tolerable in it's stupidness though. i feel like the people who actually enjoy this would be on the same wave length as 12 year old Weird Al fans. i guess if you're high enough skits about corn dogs up a little child's ******* would be sorta amusing, but for me not so much so.

the production was actually pretty solid, miles ahead of the Violent J project Batty made me listen to before. i would say that and a handful of the decent hooks would be the best parts of the project.

the show must go on and headless boogie were the best tracks, but at 70 minutes long there was just far too much junk that isn't worth the time of day.

Clearly it was.

you're one or two bad qualities away from being Ki. in what universe is that a compliment?

Go ahead and do Meatraffle here and check out Indian later.

It's like anal sex with lube (me) and anal sex without (Ki).

receiving, not giving.

No, no, it's not Trollheart you're talking to ... oh. I see.

Yeah but it wears thin, you one-trick pony you.

Go on then Qwert: tell me how much you end up hating this and destroy my childhood...

(It's a double album! Mwaa haa haa haaaaa!)

it can't be worse than 70 minutes of ICP... right?

Or can it? I'll say this: Richard Burton, Phil Lynott, Justin Hayward and the greatest novel HG Wells ever wrote - can't be all bad. I'll be interested to see what you actually think though. If nothing else, the story should be engaging enough for you to get some enjoyment out of it.

Probably not, but... that second disc starts getting to you. It's just so bloated and stupid. The first one's kinda fun though.

Pallbearer- Sorrow and Extinction

The red weed, man! The red weed! And don't forget "The spirit of man" plus "Brave new world". A little less immediate than the first side, yes, but bloated? Nah. Ending could use work though.

The second side has so much bad acting that it's one cringe after another for twelve hours. Even after it's over you get cringe flashbacks.

**** you. Lynott's parson is epic. :finger:

wut

Anal sex without Kiiii is just the worst

Am I crazy or did someone add an extra "i" to my name without my knowing?

No it's ****.

You're ****, Clownlord. Do you even know the character he's supposed to be playing? He's ****ing bat**** crazy anyway, so how else is he supposed to play him other than over the top loon?

I don't care. His performance was ass.

I'm so excited for Qwertyy's review of it now.

Posting as I will likely contribute.

Thanks Q-Man.

it will come. just finished listening to your rec, review coming at some point tonight.

this is why Monkey is the 2017 MOTY. good man.

What Prince albums have you heard?

I now read your posts in Mr. Burns' voice.

Ever listened to The Menzingers? Preferably On The Impossible Past?

That's awfully spiffing!

the only full albums ive heard are purple rain and 1999


@Jtf i quoted your post idk why it isnt coming up, but anyway never listened to them. ive been meaning to though so this is a good time for it.

Consider this thread over then/

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

Let me know if you've already heard it.

only heard Shields, and quite enjoyed it. looking forward to hearing that.

Meatraffle - HiFi Classics

Clearly Frownland was paying attention to my thoughts on the albums grindy rec'd me near the end of my journal. This is something that fits exactly into the same niche as those albums did for me. It's different, it's creative, it takes risks, but it's also relatively easy to digest which in a format such as the one this thread uses, is pretty important. RYM classifies the album as post-punk, art rock, and indie, but I'm not entirely sure what I would call it. I've been listening to a lot of Parquet Courts lately, and I can see how the two might be related in the art-rock approach aesthetically speaking, but in terms of the sound this is on a spectrum of it's own.

In terms of the instrumentation, a lot of it reminds me of something I would come across on an abstract hip-hop project. Paul White in particular came to mind with a few of the tracks which relied heavily on the incorporation of horns and the like.

I can't pick a stand-out track as each track became my new favourite as I made my way through the listing. This will definitely be one to come back to outside of the thread for more listening.

I think it goes without saying this will climb over ICP and top the mountain as the current best album. Thanks for the rec Frown.

So you reviewed another album first just so you could say that ICP was never the "current best album"? ***got.

i counted that as Frown's rec, that's why i started with his.

Omg, yes. They did the theme song for TerrorVision. :yeah:

^^^^

Good pick!
