With their first album since 2006, Ice-T and crew are back at it. Body Count has always tried to maintain an edgy, in your face sound that is 'straight from the streets'. The big issue with that this time is they've gone from "cop killer", one of the most controversial songs ever written, to "bitch in the pit" which is literally about a woman in the mosh pit. The whole album basically comes off as a parody of what they once were since it's tough to still say you have "street cred" after having a reality show called "Ice Loves Coco". If that's what they were going for than mission accomplished as I laughed quite a bit. If they were still trying to stay "hard", than they have failed miserably. Regardless, the band has certainly kept their chops up as there are some strong riffs and musicianship throughout the album which I was pleased to hear. Hopefully Ice-T doesn't think I'm talking shit as I don't want to get shot!
