Title: Mike Clark is gone and so are the Clowns.
Review: Yes, I hate to say it, I have loved this band ever since I bought Riddle Box of a guy my brother knew for 5 bucks and found out later that it was ICP. I saw the new CD in the store and bought it since I had passed up the last few CD's and thought, "Hey, cool! A new ICP CD!" I get home and put it on and to my surprise the music was very different. No cool sample work and the beats just weren't as catchy. Sure, Shaggy and Violent J still got mad skills as lyricists but the whole thing just sounds flat, with none of the spark they had on Riddle Box, The Great Milenko or even The Jeckel Brothers.Mike E. Clark was half the band and this new (Mike P. or whatever-his-name-is-try-to-fool-people-who-don't-really-pay-attention-with-a-similar-name) guy just can't replace him. Oh well, I guess I'll stick to my old CD's and memories.The only thing this CD is worth getting for is the live DVD which has live versions of some GOOD old songs.
Is the review positive or negative?
