* NewSoundAlbum: After the DarkerAndEdgier ''Hell's Pit'', a serious {{Horrorcore}} album in a minimalist HipHop musical style with minimal {{Sampling}} and hardly any electric guitar playing, ''The Tempest'' is a LighterAndSofter album with a PopRap and RapRock sound and very little of the Horror, and [[ComedyMusic more humor]]. It also doesn't contain any TakeThat towards other rappers or music industry figures.

''The Tempest'', a 2007 album by the HipHop act Music/InsaneClownPosse. It was their third album to not be connected to their Joker's Cards ConceptAlbum cycle (after ''[[Music/BizaarBizzar Bizaar]]'' and ''[[Music/BizaarBizzar Bizzar]]''), and marked a return to working with producer Mike E. Clark, who had worked with ICP on most of their albums up until ''Bizaar'' and ''Bizzar'', departing over a disagreement over the artistic direction of ''Music/TheWraithShangriLa'' and ''Music/HellsPit'', which were instead produced by [[Music/ZugIzland Mike Puwal]]. It's one of ICP's few albums (along with ''Hell's Pit'', ''Music/CarnivalOfCarnage'' and ''[[Music/TheMarvelousMissingLink The Marvelous Missing Link (Lost)]]'') to not use the word "UsefulNotes/{{Juggalo}}".

!! Ride The Tropes:

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In "Growing Again", which ends with him getting so big that he actually floats off into space.
* ConceptAlbum: Although not part of the Joker's Cards saga, ''The Tempest'' is a Concept Album in it's own right, according to WordOfGod. The album uses a rollercoaster ride as a metaphor for a violent storm that turns into a tornado and pulls people into it.
* CondemnedByHistory: The album sold well and was initially seen as being a return to form, due to ICP working with Mike E. Clark again. However, today it's seen as one of ICP's worst albums, and ''Music/HellsPit'', the album proceeding this produced by Mike Puwal, is [[VindicatedByHistory seen as one of ICP's best albums]].
* CriticalDissonance: In an inversion from other ICP albums, ''The Tempest'' received generally favorable reviews from critics, but fans consider it one of their weaker albums.
* EasterEgg: Violent J and Shaggy are riding the roller coaster on the cover art.
* HauntedTechnology: On "Haunted Bumps", J's secret for his car's amazing sound system is that it's possessed by something from the beyond.
* ListSong: "I Do This!" is a list of things the rappers will do for their Homies, up to and including DisposingOfABody.
* NewSoundAlbum: After the DarkerAndEdgier ''Hell's Pit'', a serious {{Horrorcore}} album in a minimalist HipHop musical style with minimal {{Sampling}} and hardly any electric guitar playing, ''The Tempest'' is a LighterAndSofter album with a PopRap and RapRock sound and very little of the Horror, and [[ComedyMusic more humor]]. It also doesn't contain any TakeThat towards other rappers or music industry figures.
* NightmareFuel: "The Tower" is about a war veteran who spends his last moments shooting random civilians due to neglect from his years of service. Made worse by the fact it [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Whitman#Events_leading_to_the_shooting is based on an actual event]].
* PowerBallad: "If I Was a Serial Killer" is a Power Ballad about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin what J would do if he was actually a]] SerialKiller.
* {{Sampling}}: "Mexico City" samples sounds of crashing and people cheering from ''[[VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon Roller Coaster Tycoon 2]]''.
* ShoutOut: The phrase "jump up, jump on it" comes from Music/TheSugarhillGang's "Apache (Jump On It)".
* SimilarlyNamedWorks: It has the same name as [[Theatre/TheTempest one of Shakespeare's plays]], but has no references to the play.
* SpecialGuest: DJ Clay appears on "The Party", in a DJ scratch competition with Shaggy 2 Dope.
