After acquiring the rights to their 2005 album
Mutant, rap-rock duo
Twiztid remixed and remastered the popular release and issued 2016's
Mutant Remixed & Remastered. Juggalos who know their history know that
Mutant was originally
Mutant, Vol. 2, a companion piece to their other 2005 album,
Man's Myth, Vol. 1, the two LPs adding up to an epic story about the cultural influences that shape a person. Here, it's just the mayhem side, and a punchier, louder version than before with frequent
Tech N9ne producer Michael "Seven" Summers plus Michael Rideout handling the updates. Cuts like "F#%k U Part 2," "Jenny's a Fat Bitch," and the unrelated "Get Off of Me!" are now the meaty monsters fans crave, while newcomers get some worthwhile revisionist history. ~ David Jeffries
