Let me start this review by saying that "Hector," the reviewer below who calls Twiztid a "Hot Topic" band, is an idiot. But you probably already knew that if you attempted to read his incoherent babble. Anyway, let's move along with an honest assessment of Mutant (Vol. 2). This is a great album because it reaches areas that Twiztid haven't touched before. The rock music on this album is MUCH better than their attempts at rock on "Freekshow" and the maturity in their music radiates throughout most of the album.

In all honesty, I think that Man's Myth (Vol. 1) is a better album overall, but I probably only feel that way because I generally like the rap stuff more than the rock stuff. If I was a die-hard Zuggalo, I may feel differently. I like how this album rotates from track to track between rap and rock because it is still attempting to please fans that may not dig the whole Twiztid rock-n-roll gig. While this makes the album's flow a little rough at times, most of the songs are great when you look at them on an individual basis. So, let's do that...

1. The Transformation of A New Civilization - (D) - I always skip this track; it basically sucks. As far as I'm concerned, Mutant begins with Track 2.
2. Get Off Of Me! - (A-) - Great opening song, gets the listener pumped up. Some of the lyrics are a bit chessy, but it still rocks. They opened with this on the Man's Myth Tour and it was great concert song!
3. Stardust - (A+) - I LOVE this song. Great beat, creative lyrics and a catchy chorus. I like the message behind the song too.
4. Familiar - (B+) - This one took some time to grow on me. I hated it at first, but now I think it is a great experimental track. The chorus is definitely the highlight of the song... very catchy.
5. Madness - (A+) - Another awesome song!! This is the wicked shxt at its finest... Jaime RIPS his verse here, damn!!!
6. Fxck U Part 2 - (B-) - This is just a rock version of "Fxck U" Part 1 on Man's Myth. I actually like this one better than the original, but it's still just a filler track.
7. Jenny's A Fat Bxtch (Skit)
8. Fantasy - (B-) - Another decent sex song from Twiztid. This one is slightly more mature than previous efforts like "Old School Pervert" and "Fxck on the First Date," but not necessarily better.
9. Who Am I - (A) - This is a damn good tune... catchy, short & sweet. This is probably my favorite rock track on the album, with "Familiar" coming in at a close second.
10. The Truth Will Set You Free - (D) - I'm not even remotely feeling this track. It seems uninspired and boring. Just my opinion...
11. Respirator - (C) - Lots of juggalos seem to like this one, but I personally don't think that it is as good as some of the other rock tracks. Listenable, but not a favorite.
12. Thriple Threat (feat. Blaze) - (A-) - This is a great rap track with Blaze that has an old-school feel to it. Very upbeat and bumpin'. Good stuff!
13. Starve Your Fear - (C) - Similar to "Respirator," this is another average rock track.
14. Manikin (feat. Violent J) - (A-) - Chessy? Yes. Been done before? Yes. Still good? Yep. Violent J has a nice verse and this song is too funny to hate. It made me want to go rent that `80s movie "Mannequin"... boy was that a mistake.
15. Note 2 Self - (C) - Probably the weakest "last song" ever on a Twiztid album. Just another average rock tune, nothing special here.

In conclusion, I'd say that this is a strong album. I like the fact that they experimented with some rock music. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you've gotta give Twiztid credit for keeping things new and interesting. If I were introducing someone to Twiztid for the first time, I'd tell them to buy Man's Myth over this, but for Twiztid veterans this is a must have.

Wow, just wow. What kind of act will release two different albums with two different dvds in less than a month? Twiztid of course. While Man's Myth vol. 1 was a rap album Mutant vol. 2 is more rock than rap. With Jamie's voice which can be pretty good singing wise and Monoxide's raps which are at their best. This is easily the best rap album to have alot of guitars on it and a rock feel since Insane Clown Posse's " The amazing Jeckel Brothers" On top of all this, in the booklet there is a big announcement. Jame Madrox's solo album "Phatso" which alot of people have been waiting for ever since Monoxide's "Chainsmoker" album. So, the big question will be is, which album do you prefer? Man's Myth Or Mutant? Well, for me that is tough they're both really different but both great. While Man's Myth goes deep into what Twiztid is all about Mutant vol. 2 goes deeper into their rock roots, even more so than Freak Show. Which is great because lets face it, if both albums sounded the same it would be boring. Neither album is dissapointing. Two of Twiztid's best and I recommend them strongly. Best Tracks are "Get off of me" "Familiar" and the sad/ brilliant closing song "Note 2 Self" be open minded. Buy this, enjoy.


"How can I change my life, when all I have is pain?"

" Note 2 self" - Twiztid

Really good album, very different for Twiztid though. Quite alot of the songs on this album have heavy metal in them, which they have done before (Darkness, Bobbys Dad, We Don't Die etc.), but they've never done it this much though. At first it took a while to get used to all the heavy metal, but once i got used to it, i loved it. Highly recommended, even if you don't particularly like all heavy metal (like me), this is good music.

Im 32 years old, and loved the music since the Great Milenko. Lately Ive been rough on the Fritz the cat produced material, and felt the alternative industrial edge was gone, but these two albums have been great and proved me wrong. Mutant will rock you, unfortunatly for Fritz Mike Clark is Back. But no matter how good Mutant is none of us are complaining about that. Regardless if you didnt like the Calm, or the road fools Eps-you will be impressed with this CD.

I've been down with the Clown since '97. I've loved Twiztid ever since Mostasteless dropped in '98. I've seen them live countless times and I am a super Juggalo ninja killa 4 life MFacko! I have to say that I thought Myth (Vol. 1) was a decent album. But this one right here, Mutant (Vol. 2), is just so dope I cannot even describe how jammin' it is. I always have and always will love both rap and rock music. I think this is a great direction for Jamie and Paul and it rounds out the double album experience quite nicely. Listen to both cd's back to back and tell me that these aren't psychopathic masterpieces. You can't! Because they are! If you're a long time Juggalo like myself you'll love this cd. If not, then why are you reading this??? I never write reviews on this website, but after listening to this cd I felt it was my duty to tell the world how fresh it is. PEACE.

i am a huge ass juggalo but could never get into twiztid no matter how hard i tried. i love icp abk blaze esham and jumpsteady but i didn't like twiztid. but then this dropped. I think this is the best psychopathic album ever. very different. just buy it juggalos.

This is a very difficult album to review. Not because it's bad, but because it is different than any album I've ever listened to. From the thrash like feel of "Get off of me" to the revollutionary "the truth will set you free", the vibe switches so often it's hard to get a consistent groove. Here's my feel:

1. Transformation of a new vivilization 5/5 - One of the best songs on the CD... Jamie kills it.

2.Get off of me - 3/5 - Weakest song on here... lyrically it's porrly written but for some reason it's catchy.

3.Stardust- 5/5- One of the best songs... very thought provoking. Metaphorical, maybe? Jamie kills it again.

4.Familiar 4/5 - Great song... average singing

5. Madness 4/5 - Dope song...Jamie kills that flow, but this is the best Mono has sounded since Green Book.

6. F**k you part 2 - Decent... pointless though

7. Jenny is a fat B**ch- pointless too

8. Fantasy 5/5 - Now THIS is a sex song... Twiztid, you finally did it!

9. Who am I? 3.5/5 - Nice song... nothing stand-out

10. The truth... 5/5- One of the best Twiztid songs ever

11. Respirator 5/5- Best rock song on here

12. Triple Threat 3.5/5 - Nice beat...good lyrics... stupid content though

13. Starve your fear 5/5 - Rap/Rock song... nice take on it.

14. Manikin - 3.5/5- Eh... Not another song about sex with non-human/dead people...ICP/Twiztid/Dark Lotus overdo this subject. J kills his verse,though.

15. Note 2 self - 5/5 - Nice song... great instrumentation to me. Singing is okay, but lyrics are great.

Well TWIZTID has done it again..
Iv'e heard samples on www.JUGGALONEWS.com, NOW that I heard the Whole album.. Well done TWIZTID... THIS Album is a ROck Album for TWizTID... ITs A good one so go out a Get it..Im just a Psycho with a song in my head....... (ALSO check out the new family members :THE AXE MURDER BOYZ.. THAT"S NEW FAMILY THERE.. OTIS AND BONEZ.. AMB

I loved Man's Myth, but Mutant, to me, was just okay. Twiztid said before either album was ever released that Man's Myth would have more of a rap sound and Mutant would have more of a rock sound, so I already knew which one I would like more. Even though I wasn't that big on this one, it does have some good songs, like "Triple Threat" and "Respirator." Even though Twiztid has the potential to do much better, this is still better than some of the crap that Psychopathic tries to put out.

1. Transformation of a new vivilization--5/5..tHE BEST intro Twiztid has ever had...The beat is crazy.

2.Get off of me - 2/5 - Catchy, that about it...The hook is pretty cool though...

3.Stardust- 3.5/5- Funny more than anything. Its pretty metaphorical, the message is awesome.

4.Familiar 4/5 - GREAT SONG...This means alot to anyone whos ever been upset to no end..Listen to this and I bet this will explain your feelings.

5. Madness 4/5 - I swear Jamie DESTROYS THIS SONG...And yes..THe Green Book Mono is back

6. F**k you part 2 - STUIPID....

7. Jenny is a fat B**ch- Stuipid

8. Fantasy 3/5 - I usually dont like Twiztid/Icp's sex songs They are more talented than these types of songs.

9. Who am I? 3.5/5 - I dont like this song

10. The truth... 5/5- Great song.. Mono ripped it.

11. Respirator 5/5- One of my favorite Twiztid songs EVER

12. Triple Threat 3.5/5 - Blaze is now....WACK

13. Starve your fear 5/5 - Great song, I love the hook. Its catchy.

14. Manikin - 1/5- Only for Jaimes Part, Im sick of Jay having to be on ALL psy releases, and putting stupid ideas likethis on them

15. Note 2 self - 5/5 - The Instrumental music is great, The Bass/piano/ drum mix is great, but the singing is the worse on the album.
