The Amazing Jeckel Brothers is the 5th Joker's Card album by the Insane Clown Posse.
The Amazing Jeckel Brothers are described as a duo of soul-jugglers in the afterlife. Jake the Just and Jack the Wicked juggle the bearer's sins: those who sin too heavily and witness a fumble during the act are sent to Hell's Pit, those who see the act completed go to Shangri-La.
The Amazing Jeckel Brothers debuted 4th on the Billboard charts, just beneath the Backstreet Boys during the pop band craze, two years after the Disney scandal. This is ICP's most successful and perhaps most well-known album. It contains what is possibly two of their most well-known songs, "Another Love Song" (for which a video was filmed and gained heavy MTV rotation) and "Fuck the World" (which they performed live at Woodstock '99).
Guests included Ol' Dirty Bastard, Twiztid, and Snoop Dogg. Like The Great Milenko, The Amazing Jeckel Brothers became certified platinum.
It is considered by many as some of ICP's best work and brought many fans of both the metal and rap genres to start liking Insane Clown Posse and helped boost their fan base and introduce new fans
