Insane Clown Posse – The Calm (2005)

January 28, 2024

I remember when The Calm first came out. After the double barrel of both Wraith albums, and what seemed to be the wrapping up of the whole Joker Card saga, The Calm seemed directionless. It was for the same reason that I disliked Bizzar and Bizaar; ICP without the dark carnival mythos was just hollow for me.

Granted, I’m not a teenager anymore so in my 30s I can return to this EP and enjoy it for what it is: that being 8 tracks of quality juggalo hip hop. Nothing ground breaking for sure, but with Fritz The Cat behind the deck and Esham doing guesties on the hilarious “Deadbeat Moms” you could do far worse than The Calm.
