My Opinion :)
My opinion
Well like I said in my first blog post, ICP is my favorite musical group of all time but to me they are more than just a group. I have been listening to them for years now. They have helped me get through a lot of struggles in my life, not just their lyrics but the deeper meaning of them. When I felt like no one was on my side, I turned to my 'family', the juggalos and juggalettes. They have got me on the right track in my life and without them and their message who knows where I would be right now. I know it might sound silly that music can have that much control on someone but its more than just words and I believe music can be, at times, magical.

The Sixth Jokers Card - The Wraith: Shangri-la and Hell's Pit :)
The Wraith: Shangri-La and Hell's Pit
The Wraith is the sixth of the 6 Jokers Card. The Wraith: Shangri-la was released on November 5th, 2002 and was recorded in 2001 through 2002. The Wraith: Hell's Pit was released on August 31st, 2004 and was recorded in 2003 through 2004. Both were released by Pyschopathic Records. These two albums were released seperately. The Wraith: Shangri-la was #1 on the Top Independent Albums Chart. Hell's Pit is intended to illistrate the horrors of Hell itself. The Wraith is, simply put, the grim reaper. This Jokers Card is represented by 2 exhibits, Shangri-la and Hell's Pit. It is unveiled that the Carnival is "God" and it's what has been the message the entire time. It also speaks of a Witch(Satan) that brings wickedness to the world hoping to take individuals to Hell's Pit.

The Fifth Jokers Card - The Amazing Jeckel Brothers :)
The Amazing Jeckel Brothers
The Amazing Jeckel Brothers is the fifth of the 6 Jokers Cards. It was released on May 25th, 1999. It was recorded in 1998 through 1999 and released by Island Records and Pyschopathic Records. The albums lyrics focus on the 19 circles of Hell and the morality of a man as he is torn between righteousness and evil. Jack "the sinister" and Jake "the just" emerge from the flame of a candle to determine the fate of the dead. The Jeckel Brothers juggle fire balls and for every sin committed during the mortal life of the dead, another ball is added. Jack attempts to throw curves in attempt to see a ball drop. If a soul witnesses Jake drop one of the balls, he will be damned to Hell's Pit. Souls who see Jake successfully complete the act ascend to Shangri-la.

The Fourth Jokers Card - The Great Milenko :)
The Great Milenko
The Great Milenko is the fourth of the 6 Jokers Cards. It was released on June 25th, 1997. It was recorded in 1996 through 1997 and released by Hollywood Records and Pyschopathic Records. The album was recorded and initially released by the Disney-owned, Hollywood Records. Due to the graphic nature of the lyrics, the album was deleted by Hollywood Records hours after its release even when ICP complyed with their request to change the lyrics. They pulled the album off the shelves because criticism from the southern baptist church believed ICP's music didnt reflect Disney's family-friendly image. After the termination of their contract with Hollywood Records, they signed a contract with Island Records and The Great Milenko was re-released.
The Great Milenko is a Necromancer and Illusionist who tries to trick individuals into greed and other such sins. He takes out the worst in an individual and you must be able to fight his magic in order to make it to Shangri-la. This record was the first in the track "Pass me by"to give a big hint of the story to come. Personally, The Great Milenko was the best Jokers Card :)

The First Jokers Card - Carnival of Carnage :)
Carnival of Carnage
Carnival of Carnage is the first of the 6 Jokers Cards. It was released on October 18th, 1992 and it sold 17 copies on its release date. The number would become a reocurring theme in ICP's work. Carnival of Carnage is a representation of the ghettos and the violence that occurs in them. It takes the form of a traveling carnival which releases the same brutality on those who have ignored the inner cities cries for help. The Card issues a warning against the upper class and government's negligence toward the lower classes.
