Murder 4 Hire

I love this album very happy with the price I got it for there are some great tracks on here if you can find it for a good price I think anyone that is a fan of Ice T would enjoy this album

Very good.

After 10 years, thank God for a new album from Body Count. In my opinion, along with Bob Dylan's "Modern Times" and Neil Young's "Living With War", this is one of the most significant discs of the decade. Ice-T is as angry and refreshing as ever; "End Game" reminds me of the rage of Dylan's "Masters of War" from the '60's. The merging of hard core gansta rock and roll with outrage on behalf of those humans that don't believe politics is worth killing and dying for has been desperately needed for these times. I was a little disappointed that the final number is an instrumental, but the album holds up extremely well to repeated listening and I am grateful that Body Count has survived despite the loss of several key members. Their (and Ice-T's) signature mix of deadly seriousness and humor remains intact and the nonpolitical songs are as over the top as ever. An instant classic that will stay the test of time.

AOK

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!

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.

My BodyCount Murder 4 Hire CD got here on time(Fri 05/10/13).CDDVD4U corp, is located in N.Y. that's a nice treat because I'm originally from N.Y. True BC fans already know how Ice-T makes the crowd feel.Newbie's,to BC should start w/his CD Born Dead,has a song w/the same title! Ease into this Heavy song "In My Head,"follow it UP w/"Down in the Bayou"Ice-T's stage presence is electric Id put him up there w/AcDc,Jimi Hendrix & a little of Jim Morrisons intensity.Don't. Believe me?Why not buy the cd,give it a listen see if you don't hear greatness Oozing out of him & BC.Make sure to turn it UP loud if ur having a bad day C'mon make some noise.To my neighbors,don't like my music dial 1-800-B*te-Me-Harder cuz its always on now!-D.M.

Very solid and under appreciated album. A lot of Body count fans will tell you right away that this is definitely not BC's best album, but it is still a very good BC album! Body Count lost 3 members and still managed to pull off a great album! But just remember.... While this is not BC's best moment, it still beats 99.99% of the other crap out there. A very solid effort from Ice T and Ernie C and the guys.

Good songs but ruined by terrible production . Guitars sound tinny , driums are the same and where"s the bass ? Love Body count but disappointed with this album

Pleased w/ CD

top amazing hardcore stuff

A +

Hier hat mal wieder alles prima geklappt.Nur eines: Wer voll auf BC abfährt wird etwas enttäuscht sein, ist aber persönlicher Geschmack.
