Freek Show is an album by Twiztid. The album is 1:08:36 long and was created in 2000. This album was released on the same day, October 31, 2000, as the Bizzar Bizaar albums by the Insane Clown Posse. Their was a fear among fans that the 3 albums would suffer as juggalos said they didn't have enough money to buy all three albums. But all albums managed to go gold regardless. This album was Twiztid's first taste of chart success as the album hit 51 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the highest the band has gotten on that chart. This album builds upon the sounds heard on their debut album, Mostasteless, and is the first album to introduce both the more rock-oriented sound the group has become known for today. Many juggalos also consider Freek Show to be Twiztid's best album. It contains several of the band's best known songs, such as "We Don't Die", "Leave Me Alone", "Different", and "I'm Alright".
