Insane Clown Posse — Riddle Box


Third LP for Insane Clown Posse, a Detroit rap group that gets an agreement with Battery Records, a branch of Jive, to release the album together with their own label. Mike E Clark and ICP produce the entire project, aided by Rich Murrell on guitar: the rhythms play repetitively throughout the record, they're quite monotonous and boring, soulless, as these dudes mumble about death, murder, thug and misogynist themes with poor rapping. With 68-70 minutes of listening, it's a grueling and far too long tape, most of the tracks are over four and five minutes long, stretched by useless skits at the beginning and end of tracks. There's absolutely nothing noteworthy and Jive doesn't promote the record, forcing the trio to tour US to sell copies. Not recommended. 3/10.
