The Calm is an Extended play by Insane Clown Posse that was released on May 17, 2005. This CD is the first after ICP's Jokers Card saga. The title refers to the popular phrase "the calm before the storm". The intro sets up The Tempest, their next CD released on March 20, 2007.

On the cover art, the crop circles make up the letters "ICP" in a logo adopted by the group since the end of the Jokers Cards. Several tracks on the album make references to crop circles, and a year after the release of this CD, Psychopathic Records signed southern rapper Boondox who they claim comes from "the crops". Also of interest, this was the first CD that was completely produced by the ICP themselves.[1]
