专辑介绍
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
To all but the hardcore juggalos (and really, is there isn't any other kind?), the thought of a group of Insane Clown Posse protégés isn't exactly inspiring, but Twiztid may take you by surprise. Trading in the same comic book/horror schtick that has made ICP the most inexplicable cult phenomenon of the '90s, Twiztid is, if anything, even more ridiculously exaggerated than their mentors. That, of course, is their selling point, and the weird thing is, their debut album Mostasteless actually works better than most ICP records. Like The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, Mostasteless is focused and benefits greatly from the musicality of producer Mike E. Clark, who not only plays the great majority of the instruments, but also mixes, programs, and engineers the album, along with writing the music for over half the record. Clark is clever and he helps Twiztid segue convincingly between '70s soul jams, thrash metal and street jams. But that may give too much credit to Clark, since the duo wrote and played the two most convincing cuts on the record, "2nd Hand Smoke" and "Diemuthafuckadie!" (which contains an effective, surprising sample from Gentle Giant's "Spooky Boogie"). Also, Twiztid are better rappers than their mentors, and less cartoonish (except when paired with them on the freestyle-styled "$85 Bucks an Hour"). Of course, this is all a relative judgment -- compared to almost any other rapper, including Detroit peers Eminem, Twiztid is a cartoon -- but throughout Mostasteless Twiztid often is more convincing than their Dark Carnival colleagues. It has to be said, that if you don't buy into the whole comic book/horror schtick, Mostasteless (which isn't nearly as offensive as it would like, simply because after years of horror core posturing, it's hard to find endless streams of profanity offensive) will be irritating, but if you've bought into it, you'll enjoy this record as much, if not more, than most ICP albums.

- @L(叽里呱啦噼里啪啦)：666
- @DivaH：里面插画还可以
- @Leroy(NOT LISTENIN...)：Dark Carnival的成立形同ICP令人费解的走红，S.T.Erlewine有点意思，他说如果您顶不住这张，那么指定就不用去浪费时间在其他Dark Carnival的唱片上。从风格里比较来的看，Horrorcore里的Eminem、Tech N9ne（咱也不能忘了鼻祖Geto Boys），Twiztid除了讨巧的卡通化外甚至很难和以上的大名进行正面比较。但他们确实Dark Carnival里最具有技巧的一逼（这张重在有了Mike E. Clark），少了带动性的Horrorcore只剩下刺耳的秽语，也没鸟意思了。
