Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I came in around the Milenko era and lost my mind when I heard that CD for the first time. I've listened to everything ICP has ever put out, all the way back to Bassment Cuts and including the EPs and side projects (Psychopathic Rydas, Soopa Villainz, Dark Lotus, etc.). The last album I really liked was The Wraith/Shangri-La, and I thought most of The Tempest was pretty good, too. Maybe because it had a hint of that Dark Carnival old school feel. With the first listen, Bang! Pow! Boom! took me back to the days I discovered ICP and reminded me how I became a juggalo. Everything I love about the wicked clowns is on this disc: bouncy circus calliope beats, thumping bass, fast-paced raps (no drawn out, raspy Violent J ballads), scratching, Shaggy's screaming and character vocal change ups, impersonations of white trash rednecks and naive teenage girls, mini-skits between songs, corpses as girlfriends & homies and the theme of a judgement day recurring throughout the album. I was cruising around tonight and feeling like I did ten years ago. Like my car was a circus wagon rolling from town to town. After huge disappointments like Hell's Pit, Forgotten Freshness 4 and The Calm, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Some say it's not dark enough, but I think the group tried too hard to make Hell's Pit extra sinister and it sounded forced and awkward. I was bored with it right from the start. Others say that the tracks on this release are rehashed concepts the duo has done before, but it's not fair to say you want the old ICP and then criticize the music for sounding too familiar. Definitely worth the purchase.
