Insane Clown Posse - Great Milenko



Yes indeed it is probably quite Juvenile but i really like it anyway. These guys have a Wicked Sense of Humour on all their albums. On this one from 1995 you get more of a Rock feel with Special Guests such as Alice Cooper and Slash. Released on the Disney label [ha ha] and withdrawn a couple of hours later after complaints from the Southern Baptist Church [Non Spiritual Religious Folk with no Sense of Humour] if this doesnt Cheer you up nothing will!
