Punkinhed is the second album by Boondox, the newest artist to sign with Psychopathic Records. Despite his southern Georgia roots, Boondox has nothing to do with country music. Similar to Insane Clown Posse, Boondox wears wicked face paint (style of a pumpkin) and sports a flannel shirt and straw hat, looking very much like a scarecrow. Boondox is also the first artist on the label to come from the southern region while most of the other artists hail from Detroit. Because of his southern status, most of his songs include southern country aspects such as cornfields, scarecrows, voodoo and moonshine. Boondox is definitely not your average southern based rapper.
The Harvest included a large majority of other Psychopathic Records artists, but Punkinhed was all sung by Boondox. Violent J does appear briefly on one track but only as backup vocals during the chorus. In fact, Boondox did alot more work on this album than he did on the previous one. Sadly though, this EP only consists of four new tracks, and two remixes by Mike E Clark and DJ Clay.
The intro track Ressurection is rather pointless, doesn't really count as a new song in my opinion and is nothing more than subliminal ramblings. Jumping ahead, the last two songs are almost equally as pointless although hardcore fans of Psychopathic Records producers may enjoy these remixes. Mike E Clark does a remix of Pray With Snakes in a slow, dark ballad. DJ Clay also does a remix of Seven with crazy psychedelic techno music. Both of these songs originally appeared on The Harvest, and unfortunately were shredded to hell here on Punkinhed. Sometimes remixes make an otherwise good song turn sour.
Now with that garbage out of the way we get to main attraction which is actually not that attractive. The signature song PunkinHed, also the name of the album, is a song that vaguely describes the 1988 horror film called Pumpkinhead. The theme of that movie had something to do with summoning a Pumpkinhead to kill teenagers. Well, Boondox used that very same theme in an attempt to create a spooky song. It kinda works but comes across as a cheap used copy of the movie. Despite all that nonsense, the vocals are pretty good for Boondox. He's not the best around but then again anything sounds better than Violent J's pathetically scratchy voice. Lyrics: "Coming up out the ground just like the return of the living dead. I'm feigning for your brains and I'm as sick as the fever. Try to fxck with a monster you better leave it to beaver".
The only other song worth mentioning is Southern Nights which again ties into the deep, dark, southern country aspects of Boondox. While the tempo and beats are bright and uplifting, the lyrics are as usual, rather dark and disturbing. The song itself is all about the southern nights and things you can expect to experience in the realm of Boondox, such as pitchforks, beer, moonshine, doublewides, swamps and the waffle house. Lyrics: "Southern nights are shooting at a stop sign. Southern nights are trolling in the pitch black out on the lake with a six pack laid back".
Punkinhed is nothing more than a short EP with little value. While there are seven tracks, two are poorly crafted remixes, and a pointless intro, with the remaining four tracks landing in the bland pile. If you're looking for a decent Boondox album, I'd suggest The Harvest instead. As usual, my recommendation is strictly for the juggalos only. If you aren't a juggalo then don't even bother because Boondox is probably too eerie and creepy.
