Edit: What the fuck am I actually listening to? I was listening to this on ICP’s YouTube page by selecting the album. I just looked online for more information and the track listing is not the same. What the fuck am I actually listening to? Edit again: Apparently this is Smothered, Covered, and Chunked. ICP’s official YouTube channel has this album set for this album and The Mighty Death Pop. What the fuck?
I originally stopped following new music by ICP after The Tempest. I got much more into the other artists like Twiztid, ABK, AMB, etc. so I didn’t listen to any of the second deck at the time. I’ve recently been trying to go back and catch up on the stuff I missed. The first time I listened to the mighty death pop, I turned it off after maybe 3 or 4 songs. I hear a lot of people talk about this being a great album, so I’m trying to give it another chance. Listening farther in is just kind of affirming that I don’t like this album. The lore of the card is almost non-existent. This album seems to focus a lot on doing parodies of existing songs. That’s the best way I can describe what it seems like to me. They are making Psychopathic versions of old songs. I love Weird Al, but this isn’t what I’m looking for with ICP. I’ll finish listening to the whole thing for fairness and it’s not every track that is a parody, but this isn’t it for me. So I guess the discussion is for those that love this album, what makes it special to you?

Yeah looks like whoever did their youtube page fucked up! Prolly has something to do with mj being legal in MI, lel.
As for why I like this album, it’s just chock full o bangers
1 Intro - this is hilarious. their best intro
2 The Mighty Death Pop - the guitar hook (sampled from Hot Chocolate Every 1’s a Winner) is just amazing
3 Night Of The Chainsaw - a decent song, but weaker than the others
4 Chris Benoit - classic. really amazing. lots of great singalong parts. the version with Ice Cube and Scarface is outstanding too
5 The Blasta - a great “story” song. I like the “laughter” samples too
6 Kickin’ Kickin’ - one of the weaker songs
7 Bazooka Joey - a classic. every time I hear this I picture a really cartoony video… it’s hard to explain. sometimes that horn-beat-march part plays in my head randomly during the day
8 Shooting Stars - another story song. had some nice rhymes, tho the backing track is kinda weak
9 Juggalo Juice - how can you not like a “juggalo lore” song like this ? lel
10 Hate Her To Death - not one of their best, i think they were trying to make a hit single or something
11 Skreeem! - an OK song, tho it sounds a lot like an Outkast cover or something
12 Ghetto Rainbows - another OK song
13 When I’m Clownin - used to listen to this a lot before I really got into ICP
14 Dog Catchers - just really funny, and has a great backing track
15 Daisies - another song with a great backing track
16 Where’s God? - I find myself quoting this one a lot online
17 Forever - really different. dunno what to say, but it’s nice
18 untitled hidden track (recording bloopers) - I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this. I must have cut it off of my playlist
the three “extra” albums are of varying quality. tho it’s pretty impressive that ICP makes so much material that they can just provide 3 extra albums on this already-pretty-long release.
Sounds like you’re listening to the cover album released with death pop. The box set on YouTube music has the main albums songs first.
