Album Notes Personnel: Insane Clown Posse (programming). Additional personnel: Esham. Audio Mixers: Fritz Da Cat; Insane Clown Posse. Recording information: Lotus Pod, Detroit, MI. As 2004's HELL'S PIT was the last installment of a concept piece spanning over a decade's worth of Insane Clown Posse albums, juggalos and juggalettes (the band's hardcore fans) anticipated the next missive from their fearless ICP leaders perhaps even more eagerly than usual. While the new theme presented on THE CALM EP is typically obtuse, the ICP does seem to be exploring new avenues. "Intro" boasts an eerie hockey-rink organ sound that appropriately sets up a mystic/sci-fi thread. Not to worry, though, Posse mainstays of over-the-top profanity and violent imagery are still in abundance, albeit with a somewhat more varied musical backdrop. "Rollin' Over" takes a laid-back roots-reggae groove, and pairs it with enough curses to make George Carlin blush. While "Crop Circles" offers a brief respite by combining G-funk, New Wave, and some philosophical ruminations, "Like It Like That" is classic Insane Clown Posse, full of horror-movie samples and a boastful chorus. Employing all the familiar ingredients while adding some welcome spice, THE CALM breaks just enough new ground to please even the most discerning among the faithful.
