3.0 out of 5 starsThis Ain't No SVU!
By Stanley Runk VINE VOICE on August 11, 2006
Format: Audio CD
There's a new Body Count album out, but no one seems to know or care. That's rather sad coz these guys are a true original and have been more influencial on music than one might guess. The whole rap in metal thing is so prevelant now that it's hard to even remember the time when the two genres were like oil and water. Sure, rap creeped into rock/metal a few times. We had Anthrax, The Beastie Boys, the Run DMC/Aerosmith crossover, but these tunes were done in the days of party rap and these songs were kinda light or silly. Not that that's a bad thing by any means, I still believe rap was at it's best before it started taking itself way too seriously. So, Body Count weren't the first ones to put rap into rock, but they did something quite unique. They took the gritty, urban street rap we're more familiar with today, and gave it the metal treatment. They took life on the streets and in the ghettos and put it in a language the metalheads understood and ultimately enjoyed. And it was an all black band fronted by a famous rapper. Though the debut album really didn't have any rapping on it at all, the attitude, the language and the feel of a rap album was present. Even today no one has done what Body Count did. All the rap/metal garbage out there is still white guys with dreadlocks who most likely grew up in suburbia. Body Count never really seemed to get any recognition for this, but just kinda fell by the wayside after their Copkiller controversy made them look more like a novelty in the public's eye. They released two more albums after that, but no one bought them. Even with the unfortunate deaths of three band memebers, Body Count return nearly ten years later with a new album, and still no one cares.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsGod awful
By Schizoid on September 28, 2006
Format: Audio CD
I'd call myself a pretty big Bodycount fan, and most people I know think that BC are a joke and ask me how I can like them. The first three discs were excellent. I like "Drive By", "Bowels of the Devil" "Dead Man Walking" as my favorite songs from their first 3 albums which were excellent. This disc, man I remember buying BC Violent Demise the day it came out the same with Born Dead when it came out, and I don't feel anything at all for this disc. I'll probably never listen to this disc again except out of obligation to the fact that I bought it, so that it would be alongside my other BC cds. The mixing is painfully bad, so much so that it interferes with all enjoyment of the disc. There is no guitar prescence whatsoever. The drum sound sounds almost like it was played on an electronic kit than a beefy live sound. Ice-T's vocals are way, way, WAY too loud in the mix. Which is unfortunate because it doesn't complement the songs, it just makes you real, real, sick of Ice after a few minutes. He's cool when he's talking about politics and terror and other street topics, but when there are more and more songs per BC album where Ice T is crooning/singing literally off key about trying to get girls, it makes you real embarassed for him that the song got that bad. Back to the production, whoever was at the mixing board on this disc was high. Everything about this release stinks "Bad bootleg" including the horrible cover art, but sad but true, we waited 8-9 years for a new album that was a total disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 starsSame Old Body Count
By The Cycle Psycho on August 3, 2006
Format: Audio CD
This is pretty much the same old Body Count, which is good! My complaint is the production/sound quality. The production is horrible, bass is almost non-existent and the clearest sound is the vocals. Good thing I got some tweakin' software, will have to burn and mix a copy I can live with.

With that said, any fan must and will get this!

5.0 out of 5 stars*** Body Count back in the House ***
By Gavin Moore on August 11, 2006
Format: Audio CD
Although there was no certainty as to whether BC were going to be making any more records after the sad loss of D Roc (Rhythm Guitars) in 2004 and especially seen as this wasn't the first loss to hit the band as they also lost their first drummer Beatmaster V in 1997 and their bassist Mooseman was shot in a drive-by shooting in winter 2000 but through hell and high-water BC still manage to stay solid and make excellent albums somehow.

At last! Body Count make a return with the much anticipated `Murder 4 Hire', Ice T and Co (Ice T & Ernie C on guitars being the only originals) are back with another disk of quality rap-metal and believe me they do it best! Body Count changing the face of modern metal influencing the genre in the 90's by being the original Rap/Metal band.

This album features Body Count as they should sound but at the same time expand the horizons covering some personal subjects to religion, politics, war and terrorism, humour etc. The production is a little strange at first as the music seems a little thrown back over the vocals but more listens make you accustomed to this and from then on there's plenty to enjoy on the album, good stand-out tracks are `You Don't Know Me (Pain)', `Down in the Bayou', `Dirty Bombs' and `Relationships' even the outro `M. C's theme' is also an excellent instrumental track featuring some nice guitar work.

So, if you were a BC fan in the past and your not sure what they sound like now, have no fear they're still the band we know and love and if you haven't yet heard them and think you might like thm youi probably will. Buy it!

This album is by far their worst album. Its not rap / metal is just rap and some times rap /metal. Stay on their previous albums and especially Born dead and Violent Demise.
