Over the last few years I've rediscovered and grown my love of ICP from back when I was 22, but Jeckel Brothers has been hit or miss for me. No longer. The past months have seen it growing on me more and more, and now it's been bumpin' for days solid and I have yet one more ICP album to add to the ever growing pile (of ****) of their records that I consider some of my favorite albums ever.

The more atmospheric, theatrical tracks like "Play with Me", "Mad Professor", and "I Want My Shit", are the ones that kept me coming back when I was new to the album and still grab me the most, as they perfectly express the group's gloriously overblown silliness ("Mad Professor" might just be the quintessential ICP song).

But you got "Fuck the World", one of the few times anything approaching nu metal actually works, with that immense ****ing chorus and some of the best lyrics this side of Dylan: "**** your mom, **** your mom's momma, **** the Beastie Boys and the Dalai Lama!" Marvellous. Then there's "Another Love Song", a song about decapitating a cheatin' skank-ho, set to the most sensitive of acoustic guitar ballads, and it's also catchy as all ****ing ****.

And what about that song with a certainly crack-addled ODB (yeah, that ODB) ranting about "bitches" and naming names: "I don't give a **** bitch! I will kill you! You, Shaqueeta! You, Belinda! You too, Passion! Bitch!" Supposedly ODB sent the group a completely unusable series of rants about women that weren't even on beat and they had to piece together what scant lines they good. I guess smarter artists would have just chocked it up to a loss, but ICP paid thirty grand for an ODB feature gosh durn it, and they'd be ****ed if they were gonna let all that potential Faygo go to waste. And thank the Wraith they did cause it's awesome.

Mike E. Clark's production is as always a highlight, and possibly the highlight, as it's dense, busy, original, and highly atmospheric, but without being overbearing. Odd sounds that you don't hear on anything but an ICP album abound, and the wall of sound is as always as infectious as it is strange. The man absolutely knows how to bring out the best in Violent J and Shaggy, which is no mean feat since... they can't rap... yeah, and anyone else might not be up to the task. ICP are most definitely more than the sum of their parts, and the fulcrum of that machine is definitely Mike. J and Shaggy would be potentially great on their own, but without Mike they might well have never risen above their grimy roots to be the oddball, pop rap savants that they've grown into. To be perfectly honest if any non-fan is going to connect with any single aspect of an Insane Clown Posse album then it's going to be the production, as Mike E. Clark is clearly the most unironically talented and accomplished artist in the group and proves it time and time again.

It's not all good though. As with any ICP album it starts with one or two intros that can go on for WAY too long, and it's usually two on any album past their first two; the first is often spoken word and the second is musical, and both are almost always highly skippable after the first time you hear them. The Amazing Jeckel Brothers is no different, though as with the previous album, The Great Milenko, the Posse have upped their gratuitous intro game, so they're not so awful that you'll feel the absolute need to hit the skip button, and the second track is actually pretty nice. You also kinda need that **** to get the concept of whatever Joker's Card, Dark Carnival character the album is introducing, so I'll never say that the intros should have been left off, just that they could be shorter. Unless you're a diehard then you don't need these, but as for me... I need them sometimes. Just not most of the time. On the other hand, just in the service of full disclosure, even if ICP intros aren't generally the high point of the album, they do tend to make the beginning of the album feel like an event rather than just being the tacked on garbage that many pointless rap album intros are, and that's really what the Wicked Clowns are all about (events, not tacked on garbage... although they're about that too tbh), so it's all good as far as this goon is concerned.

A bit more unforgivable is that the first proper track, "Bring It On" just isn't that great, leading me to start the album more often than not on track four, "Bring It On", but after that there's really only one dud on the album, "The Shaggy Show", with its phoned in Snoop Dogg feature (yeah, that Snoop Dogg) and general lameness. But I'd say 13-minutes of questionable material (only ten if you're being charitable to the intros, which any fan is going to be since we're just used to it) on an hour-and-nine-minute album isn't bad at all.

Those missteps aside, this album is fantastic and a wonderful addition to their surprisingly solid discography, but before we go I'd just like to discuss that one elephant in the room that so many people seem to be wrong-headed about: the lyrics. Are the Insane Clown Posse funny in a traditional sense? **** no. Their punchlines are lame and their obsession with juvenile nonsense is way more dumb than humorous in any sort of Kevin Smith sense. But they know that (or at least I think they do) and don't pretend to be the funniest dudes on earth. Their real schtick is being so committed to and self-aware about being lame, god damn retards that it transitions into actual absurdism in a way that's... I don't know... clever? Inventive? Oddly brilliant? And that **** cracks me the **** up, both ironically and not-so-ironically. I mean if you're gonna rep "Cold Ethyl" and "Billion Dollar Babies" or GWAR then what exactly is the difference, besides it being obvious that ICP actually are stupid human beings?

Sigh. I hate being defensive in a review but it's kind of hard to talk about Insane Clown Posse's pros without also addressing their supposed cons, since it's really the same conversation and needs to be discussed so long as you're all a bunch of stupid ****s. Well... in the words of "Everybody Rize", everybody jumps to the juggalo sound, **** out of here if you ain't Down with the Clown!

Damn it's been almost a year since my last entry, but it's been worth the baited-breath wait cause I got all the mad phat jams to turn your bowels to jelly.

"Bump" is the track that inspired this entry. It's phat. Phat as hell. Bump this with a proper sound system with bass up to 11 and see if your domicile is still standing after four minutes and eleven seconds. Bet it's not.

Aside from the monstrous chorus the reason this song is on this list is Saint Dog's charmingly trash persona and mildly great storytelling ability. I'm kinda heartbroken that he has only two releases with the group (three if you count a compilation which you should) and one day I'll actually check out the rest of his tiny discography on his own and with some ****ty group called "DGAF". **** that name.

Oh yeah and that beat is oddly unique in a lowkey way that's ridiculously infectious.



OMG this is just the best ICP track and it's got none of the atmosphere that I'm always harping on that elevates the group beyond just being white trash goons with no redeeming values beyond some nice hooks and admirable gumption. Well that's all this has going for it beyond the best rap rock beat of all-time. You know what the problem is with most rap rock? They try to turn the guitar into this over-processed turd sound that's like the worst thing Meshuggah could ever contemplate, but this riff is nothing but razer-thin trebble that hits so much harder than nu metal bog standard nonsense. The thumping comes from the more standard hip hop beat underneath and the sheer bombastic brain slicing of the riff itself (it's just the one riff).

Then throw in Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope having the time of their lives rapping about murdering rednecks (ironic I know) and this is about as much fun as a human can medically tolerate.



Just ignore the cover. Seriously just forget it. Yes it does look like Slayer for bitch made wack losers who can't hang with Slayer. Yes that's what horrorcore is in the first place. But these dudes got some bangerz, boi, no matter how much I criticize them to Lucem when we're arguing over ICP v. Twiztid.

This album was their second with Psychopathic Records and the first where they put on face paint and started toeing the company line. But man does that result in 50/50 phatness/badness. Okay that's not a compliment but HOLY **** IS "WE DON'T DIE" THE ****ING JAM!!! It's got one of those over-produced rap rock beats but it very much works this time and Maddrox (named after an X-Men character ftr) and Monoxide Child know how do that "white rappers who have no versatility but listened to enough Metallica to make hype into hard" thing better than most anybody. This **** thumps, mufukka.



Exo will hopefully remember this and he's a ****ing jabroni for not givin' it up for this pop rap masterpiece and it's equally awesome album. Wizard of the Hood is a top Psychopathic Record record about J going to the land of Oz and getting really stoned while walking down the Yellow Brick Road with fellow Psychopathic rappers in the guise of characters from the movie all looking for homies to smoke with, a gun, bitches, and a way back to Detroit for J. Seriously.

But that's neither here nor there cause this song is a bonus track that's just J bragging about ICP's world beating status around the turn of the century. It has the same uplifting and positive vibe as that album so it's a product of its time. It's also a hell of a banger that's fairly laid back until it ramps up to the triumphant chorus that feels like the last song that ever needs to be recorded whether the human race is reveling in its accomplishments or defiantly declaring its worth in the face of an uncaring and hostile universe. That's exactly what this is for Violent J and he rises to the occasion to the max and I'll always love this track and feel better about everything after listening to it.



Dark Lotus are a Psychopathic supergroup made up of ICP, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie (yeah I know), and for the first album some guy called Marz. They were clearly capitalizing on the early 00's juggalo peak period and have the same moderate polish and lack of previous edge, but they still managed the odd true banger. This is one of those few and it's pretty laid back but catchy as **** with a chorus to die for.

Its other redeeming quality is that at times Psychopathic could actually deliver on the heartwarming "family" schtick that they like to peddle and this track is the height of this trope that actually kinda makes me wish I could connect to the concept more fully. Regardless this track is bombs on your moms.



As far as straight up ****in' bangerz this is hands down ICP's most hype. The group hasn't had much to recommend them in their post-mid 00's period but this is one of the songs to give me the impression that they might still have enough life in them to record one true classic before bowing out on a high note.

The album this comes from was the one that got me into the group and when I could finally rap this word for word for word in my buddy's car on a two-hour trip to see ICP for the second time on their Bang! Pow! Boom! tour was one of my favorites as a juggalo associate. It's the same tempo and flow for both J and Shaggy for the entire track but it has so much ridiculous energy and is so fun to quote that it's actually the main selling point and hell to the yeah, bang to the pow, wang to the mouth, you ****s.



Blaze kinda sucks tbh even by my standards. He's got some nice jams but he's far better as a feature rapper with that fun, bombastic voice with no real versatility or substance. But this track has energy enough for three tracks and a highly decent rap rock beat that's perfect for throwing on at a party for cringy rejects you don't actually want to party with. Too bad the album this comes from is so hit-or-miss and the rest of his discography is even worse. I'll always carry water for this phat track though.



About as dark a white trash banger as has ever existed for whatever that's worth but that modified g-funk beat is the most fun that hits hard to destroy your sound system sort of like. The album this is from, W.I.C.K.E.D. (sigh), is also one of Psychopathic's best by far so you don't even have to burn the rest of the tracks after checking this one out. And that chorus is fracking sweet: "MO blood, MO death, LESS peace in the streets! What they scream as they hover over me in my dreams!"



Rehab's Graffiti the World is one of those albums that got played into the ground when I was still hangin' with my juggalo buds to the point that when it started I just knew every song and every word. It's totally fun and ****ty and awesome and you should all listen to it. It's even the most absolutely white trash thing on this list cause these guys are legit rednecks with accents and country influences and have no association whatsoever with horrorcore. I even saw these guys live and remember nothing about the show cause I was vastly ****ed up but I'm pretty sure it was insanely fun.

This track is also the most white trash cause it's explicitly white trash. It's about a guy who's "at a bar on the inside, waiting for my ride on the outside" (the ride being the police) because his trailer park girlfriend who was "high on some pills" "threw my **** out into the yard" and so he "jacked the keys to her ****ing car", "crashed that piece of ****", "and then stepped away". And now he's getting wasted. I mean I'd do the same tbh.

Just a laid back country(ish) rap song that's hella fun and great to drink and get high to and it makes the list cause of course it does. Reminds me of my buddy's porch and PBR and having three cigarettes going at the same time cause I'm too ****ed up to remember that I'd lit one two minutes ago and holy **** I need a smoke that badly that quickly.



To close out this greatness we end on the group we started on. They got a lot of rap rock **** but The Green Album was almost entirely pure, dense, hip hop production designed to **** up your car's sound system. It's a great album but this song stands out as the ultimate banger that gets just about as much play as any song from a Ke$ha album. It goes hard and it's about smoking the best weed and that's really all there is to say about it. Go listen to The Green Album in your car while irresponsibly smoking a blunt on the highway and you'll understand why this deserves to end this post.

Aside from being a mad phat jam the KMK song "Freeworld" is low key something that should give hope for a better world. Punk and hardcore for years have been shouting angry liberal screeds at each other that no one else would ever want to listen to, musically or ideologically, but "Freeworld" is a song meant to communicate a positive worldview that emphasizes a desire for a peace worth attaining and treasuring rather than simply a desire for busting heads. But this message is lost on just about anyone who wouldn't be caught dead at The Gathering. It's not even the specific message that's important as it provides no plan for change or intellectual advancement to put the gears of your mind in motion. It's just a chill song to make you feel happy with blunt in hand.

However, the aspect of the song and the group that I want to concentrate on is what it means for people mocked by anyone who knows anything really about them as morons with nothing to say and who wouldn't have anything to say if they tried (and they actually do at times). On this track you get lines like...

Or on another song, "Bong Tokin' Alcoholics" (love you guys), they claim...

Are they lyrical geniuses? Maybe not. They're not terrible as far as I'm concerned but that's neither here nor there. The Kottonmouth Kings are self-proclaimed juggalos, low class trash who just like to get high and apparently rep Marx or some ****. Why is that important when you have more socialist rhetoric with more substance than you could ever possibly want to read? Because most of the people who write that **** are intellectual giants who are mostly read by middle class college snobs who probably spit on the same working class they claim to fight for simply because they view them as ignorant and socially backward clods who must be led by the nose like children. It's not even just them. How many middle and upper class people in general do you think sneer at the rednecks and white trash of the world? Most of them at least to some extent? They don't even have to actively deride them. They just have to look at them, look at their own nice house, and feel better about themselves that there are people they can positively compare themselves to, especially when they're all on meth and beating their wives and actually agreeing to be on Cops without having their faces blurred. Even on this site I see it. How many times have just about anyone who's commented on juggalos and the Insane Clown Posse mocked them for being ignorant, low class trash? I know I do it with glee. And it's nothing but condescending, classist, nouveau aristocratic garbage that probably does more to damage class relations than any amount of wealth disparity.

Yet here are the Kottonmouth Kings declaring socialist views even though they quite likely have never read Chomsky or *insert socialist dude* and don't have particularly in-depth opinions on the minutiae of pinko leftist commie doctrine. These are the working class schlubs who truly matter though. Those college kids can talk amongst themselves as much as they want but nobody ****ing cares and they never will while they make no attempt to disseminate their political beliefs to a working class who would probably have no idea what they're even talking about. It's Daddy X, Johnny Richter, D-Loc, and all past and present members who represent the underclass who need to be reached the most if we want to have any chance at building a grassroots movement to enact meaningful change. It's the juggalos of the world, the trailer trash, the ratchet blacks, the barrio beaners who must be the backbone of a revolution or even just a unified, peaceful, political movement that can force politicians to listen to the undercurrents of the trod-upon.

So many people, again myself included, have considered these people to be sheep who will always leave the fate of the world to the elites despite the fact that the latter care little for the former, but the Kings are proof that such schmucks can be reached and possibly even radicalized. And if stoned moppets can appreciate the glory of a classless society where private ownership is as reviled as ditch weed then maybe the rest of their ilk can as well. Even those who aren't even starving to death in 1916 Russia.

To get to that point though where the smarty socialists can shake hands with the masses of disenfranchised poor we have to stop ****ting on them. Seriously. I'm gonna try to stop using terms like "redneck" and "white trash" because they only exist to demonize the lower class and make the rest of us feel better about ourselves. We're all brothers, bro. We all want a world where we can "fly away all across the skies, look at life through the view of an eagle's eyes", where it's possible to "sail away go under the sea, find the truth about the mysteries of the deep", and of course to "roam the earth as a free man on a planet with no borders explorin' our lands".

Man, I don't even know how much I believe in this socialist utopianism, but I guess I've come to the point where if I don't give just a little bit of faith to the human race's ability to do something, anything other than what we're doing now that the only option is to be swept under the waves of nihilism and despair. Nothing to lose I suppose. I mean if we can't do that then why even talk about socialism? If the masses can't be reached then why not just give in to capitalism and let the oligarchs run our lives for us? It's not like we can do it for ourselves in such a world. **** it, let's go for broke and bring back fascism. At least Hitler admitted to our faces that we're leaches with no worth to society besides being near useless cogs in a machine whose purpose is to find those worthy of crushing those beneath them.

**** that I guess. Imma bump "Freeworld" a few more times and crack open another cheap Clubtails to make the Kottonmouth Kings proud of me.

You basically just stole my rant criticizing Elph and expanded upon it.

Either way, you should do a write up breaking down Carnival of Carnage and it's underlining Marxist attitude cause I'm too lazy to do it. The whole concept of that album is the carnival taking the violence and anger of the lower class and shoving it down rich people's throats. It's like, at the end of Kendrick Lamar's TPAB 2Pac says that one day the poor are gonna rise up and eat the rich and that perfectly encapsulates the concept of Carnival of Carnage. Which is also their most politically charged album. Not a good album though. Probably one of their worst.

On the flip side, I find it upsetting when I’m judged for being so goddamn stupid in matters all things practical. I rarely meet anyone who can’t do all kinds of **** I can’t do. I respect that they can do things I can’t. It’s cool when the respect is mutual. Going from a teacher to a cook has allowed me more access with the working poor and as far as I can tell they typical seafood delivery guy is smarter that the typical teacher. When it’s 6:30 AM on a Sunday the dude with fish nods his respect when he sees us already busting our asses to prepare for the day. I might be little off point but dig this. I was a janitor when I was in college. I worked 5-9 AM before classes on campus and these supposed Marxist professors would file a report instead of talking to me if I missed their second garbage can. When I was a teacher other teachers always bitched about the custodians not cleaning their rooms. We even got emails encouraging us to report shoddy work. No matter if they cleaned my room or not I always reported they did excellent work. When other teachers bitched I mentioned that we made three times or more income. I almost always heard that doesn’t matter. Well guess what. It does ****ing matter.

I kinda don't want to cause it's a **** version of Amerikkka's Most Wanted that has its moments but... eh. I forget, is Beverly Kills all that political? A much better record.

I've come to the recent conclusion that no matter how much I hate my job I very much appreciate that a decade of working minimum wage slave jobs has slowly stripped me of my family's middle class snob influence to the point that I'd honestly rather work with my sketchy loser co-workers than the kind of middle class ****s who're either self-important twats who define their egos by who they're better than or are just really ****ing boring. At least the potheads, crackheads, and non-goal oriented people I work with like to curse up a blue streak at work and don't care about doing a half-assed job. That's very important to me. I've realized that not only has my perspective changed and made me less of a snob but I really always was a low class schlub at heart who never had any business working a respectable job. I'd rather be where I belong than be where I think I'm supposed to be just to feel like I'm some kind of successful.

And **** reporting anybody. I'll deal with a **** who'll snitch on me for anything and never return the favor simply because I refuse to let myself become a person who uses their employer as a weapon against a co-worker. You can do absolutely anything around me and I'll keep your business secret because that's simply one of the only principles I have as a worker.

No Remorse, as some of you will know from my spamming, are a neo-Nazi punk/rock band who are one of the top tier hate bands on Earth, for whatever that's worth. This kind of music has a pretty shallow talent pool, both because of a lack of people actually willing to do it and because the main goal for those who are is to recruit for the cause rather than actually making good music. No Remorse are a **** band, make no mistake. They couldn't write a song to save their lives and couldn't even spell sutlty. But I ****ing love them as a top 5 band without remorse.

The two things they have going for them is that unlike many of their ilk they don't shy away from hate for the sake of portraying a positive image of simply white pride, and holy **** describing their lyrics as over-the-top offensive is like calling the Holocaust a misstep; and the other redeeming quality is that whoever it is that writes their music has a damn good knack for writing infectious, fist-pumping anthems to get the white blood pumping. Like, there are select few bands of any political persuasion who can write massive tunes like these goons can.

P.S.: I'd usually posts vids for these songs but Youtube doesn't like No Remorse. Their music has either been removed or restricted so I can't share them. I'll post them when I can but that will be only a handful.


A good primer for No Remorse. It's a fun punk tune with a boneheaded song structure that's so basic that it should honestly challenge your idea of what constitutes a good song. Plenty of people talk about how punk stripped down pop music and made it accessible to everyone who could afford a guitar, but this **** is so incompetent that no critic could ever justify it and yet it's fun as ****. Basically what punk should be about but even punk wankers aren't quite able to disregard their elitism to get down with this **** no matter the politics.

But the real reason it's a solid #15 is because aside from it being one of the few truly not garbage punk tunes from their early days it's got lyrics to genocide for. No Remorse do not like Indians and Pakistanis running corner stores in their countries and this revelation is so strong that it makes them scream the immortal line, "One day! The world will know! That Adolf Hitler! Was right! SIEG! HEIL!"

You'd be surprised by how seldom hate bands are willing to be this direct.


I guess this is their best straight up punk song but what sets this song apart is that ****ing banger chorus, "Smash, smash, smash the reds! Commies gettin' done by skinheads!". It's so much fun. So much energy. Not much else to say about it but it's a solid tune with a fistpumping chorus to die for.


The last two tracks were from No Remorse's debut This Time the World, and this song is as well, but the reason those two are at the bottom is because they really weren't the best punk band. In their early days they did have success with more... pop songs I guess? They're not really punk, some kinda rock, but I really don't know what to call them. But whatever this **** is it's more low key, more catchy, more fun, and the lower tempo lets them write lyrics you can actually understand.

It's not even a hate song tbh, but a song celebrating the more "positive" aspects of National Socialism, namely the obsession with traditional European lifestyles from days gone past. You want to abandon modern city life and start a farm with a wife who does her womanly duties while you take in the beauty of nature and plow and ****? Well this is the No Remorse song for you.

12. "We Rise Again"

No Remorse's second album, "Blood Against Gold" is ****ing weird. They went more toward rock and dropped a lot of the punk, but what turns my head is that they dropped just about all of the direct hate and adopted a lyrical style of meaningless drivel that I guess must be all coded language in the form of metaphors that when combined could confuse the hell out of anyone who didn't know what No Remorse were about, and even though I do know I regularly get halfway into this song and have no idea what the **** they're even talking about.

And there is no context in the song to make any of that make more sense. You just have to know that they're probably talking about white power and how people in the know are waiting to start a revolution. The whole album is like this and it's hilarious.

11. "Destiny"

I'm just gonna drop this song a few places from where it should be cause **** it. In my RAC thread I once talked about how I wasn't sure about No Remorse changing vocalists and OccultHawk mentioned that if I actually cared about a Nazi punk band changing members then maybe I was too deep in this ****. **** that. No Remorse changing singers wasn't simply a case of one guy leaving and another guy joining. It was far more than that and changed the sound of the band forever more.

Okay so I'll just run this down as quickly as possible: No Remorse are British and associated with the National Front, Britain's premier far right party, and during the 90s the NF created Combat 18, a group meant to provide security for their rallies. Combat 18 were made up of their most militant and crazy members and eventually split to be crazy on their own terms and so far as I know their membership has declined because they murder each other and get arrested.

Some time in the 90s No Remorse became affiliated with Combat 18 and their singer either left because he wanted none of this craziness or was forced out because the rest of the band was crazier. It's honestly hard to figure out histories for these bands as they're secretive and no music historians have any interest in documenting them. Even in the internet age it's next to impossible to figure out what's going on with hate bands. I've looked. I still know nothing but rumors I've gleaned from Stormfront.

So anyway after No Remorse toned down their rhetoric after their first album they eventually went Combat 18 and went harder than ever into shouting about niggers and Jews and this is by far my favorite part of their discography. They were kinda fun with a few true bangers up till then, but then they became a roided up AC/DC who said things like...

And all this set to a far more heavy hard rock sound with fuzzed up production that hits so hard that I don't even need them to be spewing hate to love them. Start Up the Panzers is simply god-tier rock and I'll fight any untermesch who says otherwise.


All but one of the rest of the tracks will be from this Combat 18 form of the band. I just needed to start with one of the premier songs that formed my love of this period. This song is closer to their punk roots but it's got that massive production to make it hit that much harder and Jacko the new singer with his testosterone set to 12 to make this song make you want to kill minorities. Just a fun ****ing song that feels like rock'n'roll personified.


Same thing as the last song. High energy hate with top notch vocals from a guy who only knows how to write couplets. The album that this is from, Deutschland, is a bit more varied than Start Up the Panzers, the preceding album with "Destiny". The former has some of the punk of their earlier years with some of the more varied material as well, and might just be my favorite No Remorse album with it's surprising consistency and variety. But here we just have fun hate rock.


Start Up the Panzers is all the same song with varying degrees of awesomeness but when it hits it hits hard. This is bog standard yob hard rock that ****s on 99% of hard rock and yes I'm talking about hard rock you and respectable people think is actually good cause **** you this rules.

Literally one of the most memorable No Remorse moments ever, not only because of how offensive it is but because of the energy. They really just don't like black people, Jews, or white women who mate with black people.

7. "Breslau"

I think this is just about a WW2 battle in Poland but No Remorse are terrible for specifics so all I can do is look it up on Wikipedia and find that yes indeed it was a WW2 thing. This song makes it up into the higher numbers though cause No Remorse could indeed come with some nice, evocative guitar work at times. They never did anything with this besides trying to evoke German Nazi pageantry but they did at times succeed at this. This song actually feels kinda epic and if the band and subject matter were different I might be willing to say that this band had accomplished something epic and emotional.

TBH though the band and subject matter are irrelevant musically so they did accomplish that. That guitar riff that will stick in your mind is a legit good thing in the annals of rock history even if no one will ever recognize it. But I will remember it, you Nazi goofs.


Oh hey a No Remorse song with a working Youtube video. The video starts with some nonsense not from the original song, but close enough. It's got the same nonsensical lyrical bull**** from the second album this comes from but it's a bit more direct and is a not-quite cover of Queen's "One Vision" that's as ridiculous as it is hilarious. Catchy as **** and I like No Remorse far more than I do Queen so suck on that Freddie.

5. "Real Enemy"

This is just a ridiculously fun song from Deutschland that will stick in my mind for years and years. The real enemy are Jews btw in case you didn't know.

But it also has quite possibly my top No Remorse line...

"We put 'em in detention, with all the Untermenschen".

How can you not love that? It's brilliant in all the worst and dumbest ways and no matter how many Bob Dylan lines you throw at me that will always win.

4. "Homeland"

Holy **** I just realized I haven't been able to find a single video for the Combat 18 version of the band. God damn cause it's one of the greatest rock bands I've ever heard and this **** is god-tier. The riffs are so heavy and fun that I can't even contemplate how hard this song goes.


Oh hey a legit Combat 18 song on Youtube. The first. Hell yeah. And it just so happens to be one of my fav songs ever. This song legit I could listen to on repeat forever. It's super dumb. It starts off low key with some evocative guitar that's nice and all, but doesn't mean much besides being a nice intro, and then turns into a chill verse that is exactly two lines. Then the epic guitar riff starts and the massive chorus takes over your mind. Then the song repeats with two quiet verse lines and then a blowout for the chorus that repeats several times. It's mindless and unimaginative but it's also one of the most epic songs I've ever heard and makes me wish I could love my country in a way that this song demands I should.

I talked about this in another post that went into more depth about my conflicted feelings about both this song and band. But this song is legit god-tier as far as I'm concerned.

Yes! Yes! Yes yes ****ing yes! Not only is this No Remorse song luckily one of the only of their songs that is playable but it is also one of the greatest hard rock songs ever recorded. It is so ****ing hype, so ****ing offensive if you bother to actually figure out what Jacko is saying, but those riffs are the heaviest in all of the rock world. I've listened to this song more times than you've listened to most of your favorite songs, but considering that I've only known about it for about two years I'll definitely listen to it more than you will ever listen to your favorite song. This song crushes my balls and makes me want to watch.

Start Up the Panzers and Deutschland are legit two of my all-time fav rock records and I'll fight you for them. They go so hard and have all the energy that your Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin albums could never have in a million years and wouldn't know what to do with if they did.

STRETCH HIS NECK WITH A PIECE OF ROPE!!!
TURN HIM INTO ****ING SOAP!!!


And yet for all I say I'd rather listen to later than early No Remorse my fav song will always always always be this from their debut. It's the ultimate fun-to-sing hate song. I can sing it word-for-word right now and will always be able to. It's so much fun that I can't even contemplate anyone not loving it except for being a worthless human being who needs to be bred out of our species. It's pop for a generation that never was. It's pop for a generation that never believed in our our ethics and only cared for serving a greater good we'll never understand.

So I'd just like all of you weirdos who've somehow made it all the way here to consider a different way to listen to music that emphasizes what you actually want to listen to and not what you feel you should listen to. Listen to No Remorse, because they legitimately have worth even if it's not obvious, both due to politics and because... well, they have bad ****. But they have mad good **** for you to discover if you're curious and are willing to ignore the plebs and what they think you should think.

I would absolutely describe Start Up the Panzers and Deutschland as rock albums any fan with an open mind should listen to even if all I have for you is a couple download links cause Spotify and Youtube are ironically fascists who don't appreciate what it means to appreciate art.

No Remorse - Start Up the Panzers

No Remorse - Deutschland
