The Important, Great Milenko!, January 2, 2003 By "axeeugene" (Alexandria, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Great Milenko (Audio CD) Yes, it's the "Great Milenko". The big hit with all that fuss...yeah, so what! It was also a sign of the times. Teens were sick of ultra brooding, damaged singers from the post Seattle fallout and crass trash like "Antichrist Super Star", "Life is Peachy" and the "Great Milenko" were exactly what they wanted. (Eminem was yet to come.) Although this disc would represent the height of ICP's popularity, for die hard Juggalos it represents a painful period were they had to share the pit with frat boys. Plus the disc isn't as perfect as "Riddle Box" but ICP's infectious beats and rhymes are still here making the "Great Milenko" pretty great.

"I'm Violent J and I'm back like a vertebrae", July 7, 2005 By This review is from: Great Milenko (Audio CD) Sure, they are obnoxious, annoying, overweight morons parading around in clown suits and makeup.

They had a realistic budget for the record ($1 million), and guest spots including Alice Cooper, Slash, Steve Jones and Legs Diamond. It's obviously an early tangled web of rap-metal, that focused mainly on white suburban kids. But ICP does bring some original flavor to the table. I'm not what you would call a Juggalo, but as a teenager, I was a huge fan of this album. These guys have talent, but several of their albums miss the mark. That's not the case with "The Great Milenko". The songs aren't groundbreaking, per se, but they are intoxicatingly fun to listen to. This album will turn as many people on, as it will turn off. Some people will never get past the fact that these guys are... Read more
