S2E10. Haunted Rumps

The Tempest by Insane Clown Posse.

ICP continues a string of more-or-less enjoyable albums with their 10th studio release The Tempest. Nathan had a great time listening to it and maintains that it's ICP's best album yet, while Cameron is unconvinced (and bored). Freed from their first hand of Jokers Cards, ICP cuts loose and has fun with this one. 

Mikey "E" Clark is back, too! It's a veritable Psychopatchic family reunion. But… what is the concept of this concept album, again? It's a hurricane, that's also a roller coaster, but it's also a metaphor, but also it's divine judgment (in a knee-jerk ICP way), but it's really a tornado? Or something?
