You’ve waited eight long years for Body Count to come out with a new album, and earlier today, your prayers were answered. OK, maybe you haven’t been praying for a new Body Count album, since Ice T has become better known for being an actor or reality show star than as a musician. However, if you’ve ever liked the rapper/actor’s metal band Body Count, you won’t be disappointed at all. Body Count circa 2014 sounds better than ever, thanks to producer Will Putney and new rhythm guitarist Juan of the Dead. And if you have a sense of humor, you’ll definitely enjoy songs like “Pop Bubble” and “Get A Job.” Thankfully, Sumerian Records is streaming the album, so you can commit Manslaughter right now. And if you didn’t read our interview with Ice last week, what are you waiting for?
