Hell's Pit (Explicit)
About This Album
The loose concept called "The Dark Carnival Story" ends here with the sixth joker's card, Hell's Pit. If cheap suburban rap albums about chopping people up aren't your thing, you've probably ignored this magnum opus the whole way, but for those who care, the 13-year project that started with Carnival of Carnage ends with a fizzle, dear Juggalos and Juggalettes. Turns out -- Spoiler Alert! -- we're all going to put the goat head on and go to hell, but there are a couple laughs along the way, a sentimental remix, and a couple bonus DVDs to take with us on our descent. Despite the maudlin liner notes ("Each joker's card is somebody's favorite, somewhere, and that's enough to give them life"), the Insane Clown Posse sound tired of the concept, only getting inspired when they've moved on from it. The opening ten or so tracks don't push the "story" ahead much, but a couple of them can appeal to all those who don't own the average Juggalos' two-week rotation of T-shirts (there are new "hatchet men" earrings for the Juggalettes, by the way). Shaggy 2 Dope has always seemed to be 75 percent of the group's talent, but Violent J gets the best track for a change, "Suicide Hotline.
