* SampledUp: "Another Love Song" was based on the instrumental structure of Music/{{Beck}}'s song "Jack-Ass", which Violent J loved and wanted to do his own {{Horrorcore}} take on. Upon trying to license a sample of "Jack-Ass" from Beck, they learned that Beck's song was entirely built around a sample of the Irish BluesRock band Them[[note]]best known for their song "Gloria"[[/note]]'s cover of the Music/BobDylan song "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". So ICP ended up clearing the sample from Dylan instead of Beck, because the music was actually Dylan's, not Beck's.

The album was ICP's best selling album up to this point, debutiny and peaking at #4 on the ''Billboard'' 200. However, [[CriticalDissonance critics hated it, though less than their previous albums]].

* CriticalDissonance: One of the odder things to ever appear in a review of one of their albums was when Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in a 4/5 review of this album, said that since ''The Amazing Jeckel Brothers'' is a ConceptAlbum, it showed more ambition than ICP's previous albums, which Erlewine also reviewed, indicating that he'd listened to them, and yet somehow he didn't notice that ''all'' of ICP's albums are Concept Albums?

The Amazing Jeckel Brothers represent good and evil inside humans. They represent our conscience, as well as the weight that our actions will carry when the end finally arrives. Jake is the just and Jack is the sinister. They specialize in a juggling act in which the stakes are a person's immortal soul, with the balls representing the sins you've committed in life. Jake tries to juggle the balls between himself and his brother as best he can, while Jack tries to make him slip up by throwing him curveballs. If the brothers complete their act without Jake dropping a ball, the person goes to heaven, but if Jake drops even one ball, the person goes to hell.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Jake looks almost exactly like his brother (an evil fire spirit/demon) but tries to save a persons soul by juggling their sins as best he can while his evil brother Jack tries to throw him curve balls and make him slip up.
* NewSoundAlbum: Compared to the RapRock approach of ''Music/TheGreatMilenko'', ''The Amazing Jeckel Brothers'' is more HipHop oriented in it's sound, but it still exhibits a Rap Rock sound on tracks like "I Want My Shit", "Terrible", "Another Love Song", "Everybody Rize", "Fuck the World" and "Assassins".
* PaletteSwap: The only major difference between Jake and Jack is that one is yellow with red flames and the other is red with yellow flames.
* PlayingWithFire: They are often depicted doing this.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: At least according to "I Want My Shit." Given [[ArtisticLicenseHistory the liberties he takes with history]], however, it's strongly implied that he's lying to get his shit.

* SlasherSmile: Well, one of them anyway...

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Music/IceT recorded a song with ICP called "Dead End" for this album. However, even though ICP loved the song, they didn't think it fit into the album's concept very well, so they decided to cut it. It ultimately wound up on a B-sides compilation called ''Psychopathics from Outer Space''.
