I have Riddle Box on vinyl and it sounds great. Don’t know if it exists but Hell’s Pit would also be a great have. I think the problem with all new albums on vinyl is that some don’t work on the format. You could even say they defeat the purpose of some albums. When you switch it over it gets compressed as fuck. Death Pop, for example, would sound terrible on vinyl. The nuances of that album (I didn’t much care for it but that’s neither here nor there) would just disappear. Something without a lot of layers usually works well but that’s a hard find in modern rap, or just a lot of newer music in general. 

easily the most chaotic ICP album ever. no exaggeration. There is no way Found can be better then this shit. fuck this is GOOD!!!

I heard the new album, however, I also purchased the Special Edition copy from Hatchet Gear, ordered the digital iTunes version, and plan to get one from the store so show support for them.

It’s a very new sound that I really appreciate. Because it’s so different you may need to give it a second listen before forming an opinion. The first time around my brain was trying to take in all the nuances that differ from their past work. The second time I appreciated the messages of the songs more. The third time I appreciated the album as a whole separate entity. It’s certainly a new feel. You can really hear the producer’s influences here and there, but they came with an original concept and thought provoking lyrics. Can’t wait to listen with CD quality audio.

I’d recommend pre-ordering this album if you haven’t already.

Nevermind. lol.

I think it’s kinda funny that if ICP put out a really clean album people are like “IT’S TOO MAINSTREAM AND OVER PRODUCED” but if they make it a bit distorted and chaotic, they whine that it “sounds like someone on soundcloud made it” and complain that it sounds rushed and unpolished.

I like it. I think it would kill live. I’m only on Shock so far and I dig the fuck out of the sound. I wanted something a bit more wild and unrestrained but this is good.

I wish they’d release everything on vinyl, I’d be into that. Kind of surprised they don’t considering how much merch they like to push.

I think there was actually a limited pressing of carnival of carnage on vinyl i think i saw it on ebay and its extremYeah, ely rare. Guy wanted like a thousand bucks for it.

Yeah, it’s in EP form.

Id love to own it. Put it in a frame, up on the wall.

Now that I’ve had a chance to listen in the car (my usual listening environment) I do hear the mixing issues someone else mentioned. It’s almost as if they had the bass cranked up to high (yes that’s possible). I have presets on my EQ for rap, metal, rock, so on and so forth, most ICP sounds better on the rap setting but this sounds better on the metal preset and that pretty much cancels out the poor mixing. Not sure that anyone cares about all that but maybe it’ll help someone out to enjoy it more.

Still love the CD though and still think it’s the best they’ve put out in many, many years, at least in terms of content/message/lyrics and I do love the heavy beats, just wish they were more balanced.  Confederate Flag may be my favorite song ever, I’ve always loved “Your Rebel Flag” from COC and it’s like they took that and upgraded it. “I See the Devil” is another really well thought out track and that ending with the wicked clown laugh gives me chills every time. Other favorites are “Lost”, “Apocolypse”, “Vomit”, “Falling Apart”, “How” & “Flamethrower”.

I’d really like to know which tracks Seven produced, I have my suspicions but not sure.

I like it but my issues are..

their rap skills have declined,  parts are off beat, sounds like they’re reading it

it has absolutely no carnival or jokers card feel to it

hopefully they make a video for falling apart – that track is dope and disturbing at the same time

Does that mean it’s okay to download then…
