Review
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Riddle Box is the third studio album by American hip hop group Insane Clown Posse,
released on October 10, 1995 by Battery Records. It is the third Joker's Card
entry in the group's Dark Carnival saga. The eponymous Riddle Box is a
jack-in-the-box that decides whether your soul is sent to Shangri-La or
Hell's Pit in the afterlife. The album's themes mostly revolve around those
of death; in "12", Insane Clown Posse rapper Violent J takes revenge and
kills 12 juror members who were involved in sentencing him to death. There
are four different versions of the album: the standard pressing, a version
containing a bonus track of snippets from four songs, a version
with reversed colors on the disc and a remastered version. Riddle Box was
the second Insane Clown Posse album to be certified Gold. The album spawned
one single, "The Joker's Wild".
The album contains 16 studio tracks. "Chicken Huntin'", which was remixed
for Riddle Box, was previously released on Insane Clown Posse's 1994 album
The Ringmaster. "Dead Body Man" was also previously released in 1994, on
the group's second EP The Terror Wheel, in a slightly lower key.
The album makes several references to American popular culture. "The Joker's Wild"
is based on the quiz show of the same name, though Insane Clown Posse's
rendition is set in Hell and is used as a means to punish the wicked rather
than reward people. "Ol' Evil Eye" is loosely based around Edgar Allan Poe's
famous short story The Tell-Tale Heart, and features excerpts from the story
being read.

The Message
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Time flows like a dark horde, consuming all in its path. Man lives his
life in the blink of an eye. Just as day becomes night, all life fades
into death. In death each person will be judged for his deeds performed
while alive. There are the few who walk a life of purpose, and there are
those who trod the path of greed, their souls host to demons. Time slows
near each person's end. Those whose deeds were evil grasp onto life as
long as they can because, though they don't know what awaits them in the
afterlife, they feel for them it is a horror beyond words. Time stops in
this world, as the heart becomes still and the soul leaves the body. In
the afterlife time is eternal, and even death is but a new beginning. For
you see, when you step into death your soul steps upon the floor of a dark
chamber and you look to see it empty, except for a strange looking box on
an old wooden table. On the front of the box, you will see a painted question
mark faded with time and a twisted crank handle on its side. Turning the handle,
a sharp melodic tune will fill the air. For the evil ones this sound will be
a deafening noise reverberating off the walls and building into a climatic
terror. But the surprise is when the music stops as you slowly turn the handle...
and then the top of the box pops. For the few, they will see a vision of
God with a golden light warming their souls as they step forth into eternal
peace. For most they will see a fog seeping from the box, stripping their
sanity, as they witness an image of hell, spawned and formed from their own
evil; a hideous reflection of their demented souls. The floor of the room
begins falling away as they plummet into a bottomless pit full of shadowy
creatures, forever to be lost in a sinister void. What will be in store for
you is the mystery, but if you take a look within yourself you will find
the answer. For now, you still have time to change the outcome of... the
mighty Riddle Box.
