The rise of the Insane Clown Posse--or a group very much like them--was probably inevitable; somebody had to play the part of Howard Stern in the rap world. That it was two guys in clown makeup who rap--badly--over prerecorded tracks and spray their audiences with soda was a pure accident, brought about when their former record label dropped the act on the eve of the release of The Great Milenko. The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, their first proper follow-up album to Milenko, capitalizes on their notoriety; it features guests like the Jerky Boys and Ol' Dirty Bastard and issues challenges to MTV, Lollapalooza, and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons--whom ICP accuse of stealing their "shit" (though shtick would be a more appropriate word, and it was Simmons's in the first place). ICP stick with the formula on Jeckel Brothers that they've, um, perfected; it's not for everyone, but fans won't be disappointed. --Randy SilverCustomer Reviews:

Jack and Jake Jeckel rest in all of us, for they are the very fabric of our conscious being........2006-06-23
His glow of compassion kindles the heart, like a campfire on a cold winter's eve. His embers burn eternally, spreading the flame of mercy like a warm blanket over the shoulders of a vagabond. His kindness is fueled by sympathy for human suffering, but his inferno of righteous cause, incinerates creatures of sin to ash. The torch of his salvation guides wanderers in the dark abyss to freedom. Its flaring sparks float on the winds of change, like soaring birds recently freed from a dreary cage. Laughter explodes forth from the essence of his being, radiating the land with childish joy. He has many names, but for now let it be spoken like melodic music drifting through the air. He's Jake, true indeed... Jake Jeckel.
Emerging from the Dark Carnival like phantom smoke drifting into the minds of men, they are the Amazing Jeckel Brothers. A chaotic duo of juggling masters, Jack "the sinister" and Jake "the just" juggle the sins of mortal men. The price of admission to their show is a mere human soul.
When death creeps around and life decays, the departed spirit will begin its journey. A vision of a candle will begin to form like a distant dream with billowing smoke rising from its eternal flame. In this thick haze the deceased will begin to see an image of Jake and Jack Jeckel juggling red balls between themselves. Each ball soaked in fresh blood and pulsating like an erratic living heart. For every sin committed in a mortal's life another ball is added to their unearthly performance and the harder it becomes. The deceased will witness sinister Jack throwing Jake curves in a vile attempt to see a ball drop. For if they should fumble in their act, a pit of infinite evil shall open beneath the feet of the viewer and cast the soul into an eternity of pain and suffering. Success on the other hand, opens the gates of Shangri-La and grants one ascension into pure enlightenment and peace.
Jack and Jake Jeckel rest in all of us for they are the very fabric of our being conscience and soul. There is no escape from their Juggling act because there is no way to escape from ourselves. Only in death will we realize this as we twist and spin to the other side.
This is definetly in my top 3 Joker's cards of all time. It was also the first ICP album that I fell in love with, when I bought it back in 1999. This is their most notorious release, due to the media hype/controversy that appeared during the Great Milenko era the previous two years. Appearences on this album, are Twiztd, Snoop Dogg and ODB, Ice T also appeared on a song that was supposed to appear on this album, however they left it off. ICP wished to be taken more seriously in this era, hence the more "famous" rap appearences.
Intro - ?/? Every Jokers card has a great intro, it all started with a lamp...
Jake Jeckel 5/5 Almost, like an intro for Jake, even though it is odd for an album to have two intros in a row, I like this alot though. "Jack throw another one Jake catch one more, they'll try to catch all that's in store for you...How many souls will fall from the sky? How many souls burn wondering why?"
Bring It On 5/5 Every ICP album has one of these, an opening gull length song which is pretty much a middle finger to all not down.
I want My S*it 5/5 Not the most charming name, maybe childish and blunt. A story done by Violent J about a man who just can't seem to die, unless he gets what he wants.
B*tches - 5/5 Featuring the one and only ODB from the Wu-Tang Clan!!! The song wasn't even called B*tches, but odb butchered the song so bad, icp was forced to change the name and their own verses all because of his screw up. They turned something horrid into something great.
Terrible - 5/5 A rock type song here,an angry one at that, J and Shaggy blow steam off at the media and society.
I Stab people 3.5/5 Not even a full song, Good for what it is though, pretty funny. Godda love the humorous flow J uses here.
Another Love Song - 4.5/5 A laid back type song...well for ICP standards not the mainstream standard. Single for the album. The things they do for their women, eh?
Everybody Rize - 10/5 An "anthem" so to speak, or for icp's standards. One of the best here, a strong beat.
Play With Me - 5/5 Another story from Violent J, except this time, he plays the part of an action figure long forgotten by it's owner, until one night it seeks revenge....
Jack Jeckel - 5/5 Part two, pretty much the same thing as Jake Jeckel except this one is done by Shaggy 2 Dope.
Fu*k the World - 15/5 Classic icp track, Pretty much their ode to not giving a damn to what anybody thinks.
The Shaggy Show - 4/5 Shaggy has the spotlight here, funny song. Snoops is weak, hence why it's 4 and not 5. He even promotes his new album here, how stale is that? Shaggy works wonders here though.
Mad Professor - 5/5 Violent J is a nut job trying to make a friend, and Shaggy 2 Dope is his loyal creation. A great mix for a horrorcore rap song.
Assassians - 10/5 One of the best songs here, again more rock fueled. a Ghetto Boys cover song, with icp flavor added.
Echo Side - 5/5 The final two songs are pretty deep, this song features Twiztid and was meant to be a Dark Lotus song. Revolving around Damien and his trip through hell.
Nothing's Left - 10/5 A song, about how everything has been done before and nothing is new. The usual heart felt closing song Insane Clown Posse is known for.
So, to end this. This is one of their best. Mixing horror with humor and their beliefs fans have come to love. I recommend this for all icp fans.
P.S. El Lagarto, since when would icp fans take the opinion of a f*cking Devo fan seriously!?
Yeah, point proven.
Every Bottom Has A Cellar Below It.......2006-06-07
When ICP poured out of their little circus car and onto the scene, they brought a whole new level of degradation to the rubble. The clown make-up is probably there for the same reason Kiss has used freakish make-up all these years, to disguise hideous ugliness. That's one thing. But ICP also borrowed heavily from the world of professional wrestling, that twisted landscape combining pretensions of machismo, thinly veiled homosexuality of the muscle-man variety, bombast, and Cro-Magnon, uni-brow sensibility into an unctuous goo of theatricality appealing to the basest human and sub-human emotions. The ICP's pointless yelling, rants, challenges, and threats of bodily injury almost provide ample distraction from their complete lack of anything that might pass as talent.
With the imprimatur of the Stern show, (the absolute baseline of all sludge, the gold standard of bad taste), they were on their way. Seltzer water in the faces of their fans was only the coup de grace, the last touch. Maybe that's the good news of ICP. Perhaps they will help people finally see rap for what it is - hideous clatter produced by clowns with no musical aptitude and nothing to say.

am I really writing an ICP review?.......2006-01-30
Like any Insane Clown Posse album, Jeckyl Brothers has its fair share of humerous toilet humor songs. On this album most of them are pulled off very well. Some highlights include "I Want My Sh*t" which is an odd, dreamy trip-hop style song with lyrics depicting an immortal man's journey through time (in which he discovers his long tongue allows him to perform cunnilingus especially well)... "B*tches", of course, is the usual comedic revenge violence track. "I Stab People" is one of my favorite humor tracks. And of course "F*** the World" managed to get on the radio with the most f-bombs dropped in a single song.
But what really makes this an album worth special attention is its serious side. One thing about Insane Clown Posse is they always manage to sneak in a few songs that are extremely intelligent and insightful as well as bitter and cynical. The crude and vulgar lyrics that make the other songs so hysterical instead make these serious songs seem that much more honest and potent.
The best example of this is the biting social commentary "Terrible", which I find to be one of ICP's best songs period. Other good serious tunes include "Assassins" and "Echo Side," both unsavory and uncomfortable perspectives on their relative subject matter (not to mention creepy tunes.) The two character tracks, Jake and Jack Jeckyl, being part of the joker's cards concept are also creepy as well as socially applicable. They cool the album off at the end with the meloncholy "Nothing's Left" which is probably one of the least controversial tracks I've heard ICP put out.
The album's weakest points are where it takes itself too seriously where it should be making fart jokes - "Play With Me" and "Mad Scientist" are both decent tunes with good socialogical observations, but they end up coming off as cheesey since the fictional stories being told obscure the good points. ICP are best at being smart when they are pissed off, and these songs are a bit weak because of their lack of ICP's trademark bile. Some other filler tracks as well which aren't really worth a mention.
This is deffinitly one of ICP's best albums, and contains many of their best songs. I wouldn't recommend it to someone expecting "real" rap or hip-hop, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone without a real generous sense of humor. But both the humor and the social commentary can be rewarding to those willing to put aside their pre-judgements based on media hype.
