This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls — forget KISS; the real Psycho Circus is back.
But there are only two clowns in this car: Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, the foul-mouthed, face-painted rappers behind Insane Clown Posse. And like their 1997 disc The Great Milenko (which was pulled by their old Disney-owned label the day it was released, rendering ICP instantly famous), Amazing Jeckel Brothers is a three-ring wing-ding of cruelty and mayhem. The music is a mish-mash of cheesy guitar, basement beats and circus melody; the lyrics to tracks like I Stab People, Fuck The World and I Want My Shit are as tasteless as day-old popcorn. But it’s so unrepentantly stupid, so gleefully idiotic — a little song, a little dance, a filthy cream pie down your pants — that you gotta laugh. Or maybe it’s just that there really is a sucker born every minute.
