Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Twiztid, Lazie Bone, E-40, Tech N9ne, Bushwick Bill. | | Producers: Monoxide, The Soundsquad, Fritz Vankoskey, Mike E. Clark. | | With the stock of its labelmates falling quicker than a share of Enron, Twiztid has shown up right on time with the perfect album to satisfy the cravings of those Faygo-spraying, wrasslin'-watching juggalos. Starting off the album with a very spooky, very scary intro about the green book, Twiztid sounds like a half-hearted attempt at a flaccid Kid Rock or Everlast recording session gone very wrong. Even appearances by the main juggalos themselves can't save this ship from sinking. Granted, The Green Book is much, much better than the last ICP card record, but looking at the forest from the trees, that really isn't saying much anymore. ~ Rob Theakston | | Twiztid's fourth album continues the successful formula adopted by these Insane Clown Posse acolytes--that of screaming punk-metal angst set to a hip-hop backbeat. In fact, Twiztid make a mockery of the old story that smoking copious quantities of marijuana has a mellowing quality on one's outlook--there's no mellow here, just a mainline to whatever part of one's brain is involved in anger mismanagement. | | The duo's blend of hardcore and hip-hop is in full effect all over THE GREEN BOOK--check out the full-on thrash of "Afraid of Me"--and their obsession with horror movies continues unabated. In short, this album is a formidable successor to the premier Twiztid effort, FREAKSHOW. |
