Editorial Reviews
Insane Clown Posse: this horror core shock rock band may be more infamous than famous, more reviled than renowned, but they have made quite a mark on music history, and on the lives of the 1,000,000+ fans (Juggalos) who follow their music and their message. Where some see an underworld of bizarre painted faces jumping to a twisted mesh of rock and soda, others see one of the longest running records in Billboard Top 200 history, a full length motion picture, Big Money Hustlas, the second highest grossing wrestling organization in the U.S., Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW), a career in the WWF, WCW, and ECW, and Psychopathic Records, the self-owned record label behind it all.
Perhaps one of the boldest and most successful moves made by Insane Clown Posse was the creation in 2000 of what has now become an annual tradition: The Gathering of the Juggalos. This three-day convention, drawing over 10,000 attendees from the 50 states and overseas, is a mix of concerts, games, contests, auctions, seminars, autograph signings, and everything and anything related to Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records. The Gathering has made a huge impact in every city it has come to, bringing in several million dollars in revenue to the cities it visits. This move is unique in the music industry, and is a shining example of Psychopathic Records' ability to both pioneer and succeed through direct, focused effort.
Insane Clown Posse is without a doubt one of the most successful "behind-the-scenes" bands of all time. Their fame was won without massive radio play, so it is all too easy to discount the band; however their seven certifications (two platinum, five gold) speak for themselves. Their immense popularity lays just beneath the mainstream, yet is all the more substantial and long lasting.
The story of how Insane Clown Posse reached this level of cult celebrity over the last ten years is as detailed as it is amazing. Later in this booklet is a brief history of the five previous Joker's Cards albums to set the stage for the era of sixth and final Joker's Card, beginning November 5th, 2002, when The Wraith: Shangri-La hits stores.

What happened?.......2007-01-06
This cd sounds completely different. It's more rock than anything. Weird Rock... sorry J and Shaggs, 3 stars.
The best Joker's Card, the Wraith........2006-09-26
This being the last Card and all, ICP obviously had a lot of ideas over the years for this album, so it's very well rounded. There are all types of songs on here, like humor, meaning, and even an interesting story.
There is another album done by ICP called "The Wraith", but that's Hell's Pit, and this is Shangri-La, so it'll be focused on heaven. Plus some songs using the style that the Insane Clown Posse is generally known for, like "Birthday B*tches", "Get Ya Wicked On", and "Cotton Candy & Popsicles". I'm not going to say much more about this album, as a lot of it will be up to you to find out yourself after listening to everything else first.
I do recommend this, but only after you hear all of ICP's other work.
the end of time will consume us all.......2006-05-31

Well, the bonus Gathering footage was cool..........2006-04-30
The album starts out good- an introduction to the carnival by the same zany high-pitched voice (sounding like Invader Zim) that's been in a lot of ICP's albums. The music for this track is ok, but when J and the others start to sing the chorus and sound bored off their asses, I began to worry. To be honest, none of the songs are memorable up until Birthday B*tches, where the good is outweighed by the bad. There are really only a couple of good tracks on this album. Most of them sound the same, have this dreary "rock" guitar riff going on, and J has the same tone in his voice in nearly every track. It took them how many years to do this, and this was the best they could do? Maybe another year in the studio could've helped. You know how you usually get a laugh or two out of most ICP tracks? Yeah, there's none of that until Birthday B*tches. And that song's only about 2 minutes long. After that, Blam!! is a pretty cool track hindered by the damn guitar riffs in the background. Skip ahead past the filler tracks and make it to Homies, which is an overall nice song about ICP's buddies who've been with them, and who will always be true friends. This is a great track, but it does start to suck when Twiztid kicks in. Ain't Yo Bidness and We Belong are two of my favorites on the album, and should've been placed near the beginning to make up for the sub-par tracks after the intro. Crossing the Bridge is excellent. It has yet another "rock" riff, but it's not annoying! It adds a lot of mood with scratches and open frets as J talks about how him and Shaggy have never had it easy. This is an inspiring track to say the least. More filler after this, but the final track: The Unveiling, is something that no one expected. I don't know if I should say what the Dark Carnival really is or not, for those who haven't heard by now, but it's not what you're expecting, especially that it's ICP who reveals what it is. This had many "true fans" freaking out and leaving ICP for dead. Honestly, I was kind of pleased to find out what it was. It shows that they have a side to them we didn't know about all along.
I wanted to like this album. I tried to kid myself and say it was one of their best when it first came out (aw c'mon, I was 17 at the time) mostly to not seem like an outcast to my other ICP fan friends. But after that initial listening, I've seen it for what it really is, and that's sheer averageness. But one of the main reasons to get The Wraith when it first came out was to get one of two variants: one with a bonus concert and the other with the Gathering speech. I opted for the Gathering footage because of how awesome it was to see J going over ICP's history in a literally once-in-a-lifetime event perspective, and talking about when the album was going to drop and what its name would be. From what I hear, the bonus concert version was pretty lame. The guys screwed up on some songs, and the audio quality was poor. I haven't seen it yet, and don't really want to, especially given how awesome the Gathering is. I'm sure you can download either one by now since it's been almost 4 years since the album came out. Also, the booklet for Shangri-La is probably the best of all the Joker's Cards. It has lots of cool photos of J and Shaggy (even one with Alex at the end) in angel outfits while carrying bloody weapons. Also included is the story of the Butterfly which J's mentioned for many years now.
Maybe the "real Juggalos" can kid themselves and add deeper meaning to this album than what's really there, but truth be told- this is a terrible album to claim as a Joker's Card, and a terrible start if you're new to ICP. Go for Carnival of Carnage, Bizaar, The Riddle Box or even *GASP* The Great Milenko for some of their finest stuff. I haven't heard Hell's Pit yet, and don't really want to since it's the sequel to this album, only "darker". That means they'll be trying too hard if you ask me. Only pick this one up to hear the select few good tracks or if you -need- all the Joker's Cards.

Not exactly what I expected..........2005-10-10
Don't Diss it Unless U Understand It.......2005-10-09
The next day, he brought to school a copy of the Amazing Jeckel Bros and i brought it home with me and listened to it all that weekend nonstop until i had memorized every beat and every lyric on the thing. It was like a religion to me. I studied it and analyzed them. When i came to school on monday, i told the kid how much i liked it. He said that you should buy a copy to support them. I went on amazon and ordered a copy of that CD and then Bizaar. I collected everything. Then Wraith came out.
I got home with the cd in my hands. I had been reading everything about this online. I sat down and listened to all one hour and five minutes of it. I had already heard one song, Blam!! and the rest were new. I said to myself when i was done with the thing, "What a strange CD!" The next day i listened to it again and it started to make sense. It was the greatest thing ever. I watched the Seminar thats included as a bonus DVD. I loved every thing on this. I read some of the other reviews and some say this is whack. Those are the people that dont understand the meaning of this. The are explaining everything, you idiots. They arent just out there for the money, this is for the true fans.
This CD had such great songs that really help you understand who iCP is. Each song has a great meaning and for that subject, a great beat with good lyrics.
1. Walk into the Light (8/10) --This song is the intro and a whole nother song. It's a great lead-in. After about a minute and a half, the intro stops and the song starts. It's a rock and roll song with rap in it. Shaggy shines really bright on this one. It explains everything they've been talking about in their last albums since Bassment Cuts.
2. Welcome to the Show (9/10) --The beat is exceptional. It's the happiest song of the album. It's very funny and the group does great arranging the lyrics. This explains all about the dark carnival is going to be like when u die.
3. Get Ya Wicked On (10/10) --Even though this is a happy album, they still show that they are the most wicked in this song. It is very funny. It resembles an older song from Bizaar called Whut. Shaggy is hogging the mic but thats alright. Even though its very short it's a great song to open the album with.
4. Murder Rap (8/10) -- It starts right out of track 3 and goes from there. It has the same kinda feel as Get ya Wicked On. The reasaon it isnt 10/10 is because the lyrics on shaggy's part werent that great and the chorus was kinda weak. It still is a classic song, but i have to say, they got a little lazy with it.
5. Birthday B*t*hes (10/10) -- This is an Icp song that has a plot. Shaggy is a birthday clown that doesnt want to work. He is hilarious and this is one of the best rhyming songs ever. The chorus is hella catchy. it end with Violent J saying It Ain't Mine Mothafaku! It's short but it's definitely worthwile
6. Blam!! (10/10) --ICP goes completely Heavy Metal on this song. It's still a great song and one of their best but its a lot different. The plot is that Violent J gets a magic lamp and his genie gives him everything he wants. It has funny. This is the song that shows ICP isnt all about money
7. It Rains DiamondS (10/10) --ICP hides a track in this song. After It Rains Diamonds is over, 2 minutes into the track, another song starts called B*tch Slappas (featuring Blaze Ya Dead Homie) It rains diamonds is an okay song that is metal and then B*Tch Slappas is a hilarious song with a tight old school beat. The track is worth a mil
8. The Staleness (7/10) -- This track was just alittle lame in the beginning. Some queer was doing the voices with Shaggy. I liked it by the end but it was dumb at Shaggy's part. U can tell in the track that shaggy wasnt even feelin it so its all good. Violent J was a great rapper in this song. He tells a tale of when he almost escaped from an asylum.
9. Hell's Forecast (10/10) --In the midst of all this happy, funny and wicked sh*t comes a forecast of what Hell's Pit is going to be like. J does a great job to portray the depths of Hell and the Wickedness.
10. Juggalo Homies (7/10) -- This is featuring Twiztid & ABK. It's a good song, but the lyrics drift off at Twiztid's part. Juggalo Homies represents that all ICps homeys will be up in Shangrila chillin.
11. Ain't Yo Bidness (10/10) -- This is my favorite song off the whole album. It shows the ICP that everyone knows in just the way u'd think. "It ain't yo bidness how we act. Ain't yo bidness, gonna get slapped. Ain't yo concern what we do, unless u want ur face slapped too" It contains another bonus track called Soopa Villains. It's a tight track with Esham
12. We Belong (10/10) --Instant classic. This song is all about the way ICP is. They don't belong anywhere but the carnival.
13. Cotton Candy & Popsicles (5/10) --Nothing great but it's okay i guess. Zug ISland is featured and they are great here but it's still not a great beat. Violent J is good and so is J, there's just something bad about it. If u have heard it u know what i mean.
14. Crossing the Bridge (10/10) --Another classic and the second most meaningful song. It's all about how they have never had a normal life. It's a great song because its like nothing they've ever done. It's a rock ballad and its hella hard
15. Ravens Mirror (9/10) -- Great song. Shaggy is the sun of this sh*t. It has an okay chorus, great beat and funny a*s lyrics.
16. The Wraith (9/10) --Good song. This represents what death is. Not in a wicked way, but who death is.
17. The Unveiling (10/10) --The most meaningful song throughout the album. It's the meaning of every joker card. It is so deep. This is the one that they end everything with. it's great. It's a raprock. "May the juggalo's find us."
Average song rating = 8.94/10
most meaningful cd out of psychopathic. mcl my juggalos.
