Side note- Am I the only one that remembers BPB was not always the first jokers card of a second deck? I swear ICP never referred to it as such during production or original release in 2009. I remember ICP calling it the return of the Dark Carnival and stressed it was not a 7th jokers card but it’s own entity that exists on its own. I don’t recall hearing such till the Nuclear edition released in 2010 and more so when MDP was revealed at Hallowicked 2010.  

During the Bang Pow Boom, which happened shortly after the album’s release, (so shortly that the dates were actually in the liner notes) they floated this idea to the audience at each tour date.  

J would say something to the effect of “We would never disrespect the six jokers cards by putting out a seventh jokers card, but maybe Bang Pow Boom is the first of a NEW set of jokers cards”

They were gauging the reaction from the crowds, to help them decide whether or not to make lore jokers cards.  In St. Louis, the reaction was pretty positive.

Considering that ICP has been attracting a more casual type of fan since around that time, I think it would have been a better idea to float that idea at the Gathering.  Me?  I think that they should have left it with the original six.

I would. 

As long as we don’t get something else that blows up or whatever I’m good.

Meh, I may buy it, but most likely would not. Don’t really listen to my MDP vinyl as it is. Maybe once a year…

I would like to get my hands on an original COC vinyl and would definitely grab Milenko on vinyl if that was ever to be released. Thinkin on it, kinda surprised that’s not something they did on the past few juggalo days…

TOTALLY AGREE !! 

I think the “new deck” is utter shite ! Apart from Phantom which has nothing to do with the deck so yeah.

BANG, POW, BOOM – would never buy it on vinyl cos IT SUCKS !! By far THE worst thing ICP ever released and to me it was the start of the decline and for the first time in my life feel a bit embarrassed to say I like ICP cos even I can see that ICP are a fuckin joke and little kiddies/teenie bobber rap on albums like that and can see why no one takes them seriously as rappers or lyricists. There was so much depth on the first six that they deserve credit for from any hip hop fan who understands word play and story telling.

Also the first real obvious showing to me that ICP actually do/did wana be mainstream cash and success to some level and also realized how to manipulate the Juggalo fan base for profit. BPB is the start of their cash in off the Juggalo’s by understanding how committed their relatively small/large fan base into buying multiple copies of the same albums for a couple extra tracks or an additional Cd with shit no one really asked for. All to just make triple the profits on every album made and higher looking sales figures on the official billboard 200 and hip hop indy charts by releasing an album unknown to the rest of the world re-packaged three time so each one Juggalo’s purchase now in figures looks like three individual purchases by different people.

So like Yeah we sold 30,000 copies in week one is actually only 10,000 copies the rest is just cash grab and for statistics to make them look better and more successful than they actually are but Hey you get that successful pay day.

So Yeah back to point. NO !! Bang Pow Boom never deserves to be purchased again and to be honest I feel a bit shitty for even having it in my collection, it’s the worst and actually the last time I ever actually purchased and ICP album they tricked me like most with our long wait for the new Jokers Cards. Never bought an album or CD since : (
