This album doesn't feel like a typical Joker's Card AND I FIND IT REFRESHING. We are now on the 3rd Card of the Second Deck and however you feel about that decision it doesn't change the outcome of the work put into the projects. They didn't come out and tell us it's going to sound like their old stuff like Bang!Pow!Boom!. They didn't say they wanted to explore new territory with music they've been playing with for a bit like Mighty Death Pop!. They said they had a story to tell and they took a whole separate path than they've used past. They had a lot of original ideas/messages and they also strengthened old themes with stronger beats and lyrics. The point is after all these years the Insane Clown Posse is still putting out new styles of music, and while exploring new depths, keeping it close to home for the family. It took me a few listens to appreciate what this album is. My brain tried to rationalize it and question WHY it wasn't a certain way, but that's a somewhat ignorant way to view new material. When I finally allowed myself to view it as the piece of music it WAS instead of what I was thinking it their catalog resembled in the past I REALLY enjoyed this album. It's NOT Hell's Pit. It's NOT Ringmaster. It's NOT Riddlebox. It has become it's own entity, The Marvelous Missing Link.

And his era begins now...
