ICP used to be really funny Jul 15, 2009 I bought this album just to see what's up with ICP. When I was younger I enjoyed their music, but it's pretty ho-hum now.
The Best Of Both Planes Of Existence Mar 17, 2009 The Wraith: Remix Albums are amazing, both discs are filled with amazing remixes of songs from both Shangri-La and Hell's Pit
I enjoy Almost every single remix on both CDs
I Highly Recommend this for any Juggalo
MMFCL!!
I can't stop listening to this! Aug 12, 2008 First off, I wanted to say that I wasn't a big fan of ICP until recently. I mean, I had heard their music before and enjoyed it... but this was my first purchase. I bought this CD after my brother passed away. He just turned 21 a mere 8 days before he passed. It's only been a couple of months, and I think that buying this CD was a way to remember him and get into things that he enjoyed and to feel his presence. He has been listening to ICP since I can even remember. The song Crossing the Bridge really sounds how it feels right now without him and I can hear/see him singing all the songs in my head. I hope this review doesn't sound weak as I haven't even made it to the second CD Hell's Pit yet. I've been stuck on Shangri-La for over a week now and remembering my brother a true juggalo who will always be missed. He always said I was a juggalette and I know my other two brothers are down with the clown. It must be in the blood. Our mom used to listen to them too and rock out.
Insane Clown Posse - "The Wraith: Remix Albums" (3 stars) Jul 31, 2008 After having mixed-emotions about the production on the 6th Joker's Card(s) ("The Wraith: Shangri-La" and "The Wraith: Hell's Pit") due to Mike Puwal of Zug Izland's somewhat off-beat and smiley-faced beats to something that should have been done more sinister (although I enjoy Mike Puwal's production on both albums) ICP announced that they were going to round up a gang or underground rap producers and let them take aim at the instrumentals.
Some of them work very well, some are kinda repetative, and some mood sets are WAY off of what the subject matter in the lyrics are based upon. And some suck. Alot of these remixes contain a useless amount of heavy guitars and it kinda throws me off, since I'm pretty much pro hip-hop. But regardless of where you stand in terms of this double-disc release, this is a good source of ways to get to know more producers in the underground. Personally, after hearing this, I want to hear more from the likes of Wolf Pac, Filthee Immigrants, Kuma and Fritz The Cat. As they all did extremely well with the production here. As for Mike E. Clark's production on here, he did a pretty decent job, not my top-choice production from him, his remixes on the "Hell's Pit" disc heavily outshine his remixes on the "Shangri-La" disc. But that's just me.

I wouldn't say that this falls in the cracks of "great", but more of an "okay" to "solid" double-disc remix albums. I would recommend this to Juggalos and Juggalos only, the average hip-hop fan would be disappointed deeply by this. Peace.

Worth Having Jun 24, 2008 Overall, this album is worth getting if you don't have it yet. It's obvious the music has been changed, that's a given since it is a remix, but some of the lyrics have been changed as well. That is a good thing and a bad thing. On some of the songs, I thought they were better than the original album. On the other hand, I thought the changes made the songs worse. I am a fan, but some changes work and some don't. It's really good, but some of the tracks I didn't like so much.
