![]() White Suit,” a straight metaphorical ode to God, with the words, “If you need something/if your life’s not right/Keep your eyes open for the man in the white suit.” Then, the guys rap about touring a screwed up carnival, which could be a metaphor for the world, saying, “You’re alone/lost at the carnival.” Going old school, laid back after a dark voice-over, is “Mr. Darkness returns in “Lost at the Carnival” with the demented barker returning when a hypnotic Carnie beat with an underscored guitar riff begins. Moving onto “Get Clowned,” which begins with a demented sounding barker that gives way to a funk-filled beat as the guys lay in with tongue-in-cheek “ode” to the haters with the lyrics, “Getting clowned/right to your face/filling up your anus…” Going straight ahead, “OK” begins with the guys telling the listener everybody falls, and the longer they stay down, the parade will pass them by as they pronounce that “we’ll all be OK” with a fun genre-bending Pop-ish, old school Hip Hop beat. Next, pianos bring in “Found” as a voice-over confession begins, before the bass kicks in as the guys lay down straight lyrics of finding their Higher Power. As with all Insane Clown Posse albums, the “Intro” is a Zen-like voice-over that sets the theme for Found. ![]() The Marvelous Missing Link: Found is a 14-track dose of tongue-in-cheek matter-of-factness. ![]() The Marvelous Missing Link: Found was produced by Otis, Mike P of Zug Izland, Kuma, and Seven of Strange Music on Psychopathic Records, as well as was released to coincide with Insane Clown Posse’s annual Gathering of the Juggalos to fans and the rest of the world on July 31st. One difference that set it apart from previous Insane Clown Posse albums was that the messages come across straight without dark comedic commentary. Now, the state of society envisioned through their eyes is back with the flip side to April’s The Marvelous Missing Link : Lost, a cornucopia of hard, dark, and sometimes beautiful melodies that marries Metal/Hip Hop tinged with occasional piano/synth work, Horrorcore-style imagery delivered by smooth line delivery, and sometimes raspy dulcet choruses bordering on an R&B-like vibe with positive silver linings. Standout Track: The 2010 video for "Miracles" made it the butt of a lot of jokes, but the song itself is an excellent interpretation of early '90s acid house that is better than anyone wants to admit.Detroit-based Insane Clown Posse have, for the past twenty-six years, told stories about what they saw, and still see. From the gothic earnestness of "Vera Lee" to the Halloween surf rock of "The Bone," B!P!B! sees J and Shaggy shape a cornucopia of influences into a cohesive whole with very little fat. The closest thing to a primer on ICP's eclectic career, almost every song on B!B!P! illustrates a different facet of the group's strengths while letting them finesse their classic pop and rock influences. Mike E Clark directs a marked shift away from the narrative-driven rap that dominated most of ICP's career to this point, pushing it toward pop-first songwriting which has always been J and Shaggy's biggest strength. Sounds Like: A combination of Gong, Billy Joel, Dead Can Dance, Ice Cube, The Surfaris, The KLF…and Hanson.īang! Pow! Boom! is the album that introduces the modern, and best, incarnation of the Insane Clown Posse.
