| 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful  For now, you still have time to change the outcome of... the mighty Riddle Box., By John "Ira" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews This review is from: Riddle Box (Audio CD) Time flows like a dark horde, consuming all in its path. Man lives his life in the blink of an eye. Just as day becomes night, all life fades into death. In death each person will be judged for his deeds performed while alive. There are the few who walk a life of purpose, and there are those who trod the path of greed, their souls host to demons. Time slows near each person's end. Those whose deeds were evil grasp onto life as long as they can because, though they don't know what awaits them in the afterlife, they feel for them it is a horror beyond words. Time stops in this world, as the heart becomes still and the soul leaves the body. In the afterlife time is eternal, and even death is but a new beginning. For you see, when you step into death your soul steps upon the floor of a dark chamber and you look to see it empty, except for a strange looking box on an old wooden table. On the front of the box, you will see a painted question mark faded with time and a twisted crank handle...

It's one of the most perverted, subversive, sickening albums out there... so needless to say, it's one of my all-time favorites. Violent 'J' and Shaggy 2 Dope definitely earn the adjective `Insane' in this collection. Where else can you find raps about relationships with corpses (`Cemetery Girl')? Or a game show where not getting hacked to death is the grand prize (`The Joker's Wild')? Howzabout a boy's deadly revenge against his overbearing classmates at show-and-tell (`Toy Box')? And let's not forget the `Tell-Tale Heart'- style story of a kid's plot to murder the neighborhood freak (`Evil Eye'). You're definitely heeding the beckoning call of Lucifer when you're blasting these works of depravity at high volume. So crank it UP!The only thing that would make `Riddle Box' less appealing to me would be if Pat Boone ever decided to sing covers of any of the tunes. Scary thought...

As a sharp melody echos off the walls, building into a climactic terror, the box's lid suddenly pops open. What lies inside it depends on the deeds performed in one's life. If the soul becomes awash in God's golden light, he/she will be awarded a ticket to Shangri-La. However, if that same spirit gave in to the temptations of greed and vanity, then a venomous fog will leak from the box. From there, the evil perpetrator plummets into the pit of Hell, forever lost among its shadowy creatures. What will be in store for you is a mystery, as every day passes in the blink of an eye. But for now, you still have time to change the fate that awaits inside the Riddle Box.Released in 1995, "The Riddle Box" is juvenile in nature. While diving into the childhood chest of toys and games, the tracks' lyrics mix prank calls and carnival rides with psychotic killers and bodily... Read more |
