Maybe Ice-T was trying hard to infuriate and offend when he put together Body Count's Violent Demise: The Last Days, but he should have spent a bit more time on the riffs and lyrics. Sure, "Interview," which features a vignette about a journalist being executed for dissing the band (gulp!), and "Strippers," which includes the scintillating chorus "Strippers, I want my dick sucked," are both disturbing, but the puerile prurience hardly obscures the group's second-rate songwriting. Throughout the album, Ice-T moans and barks above repetitive, second-hand guitar lines, and even when the rapper lambastes O.J. Simpson on "I Used to Love Her," he fails to say anything even mildly thought-provoking. -Jon Wiederhorn-

I totally disagree with the reviewer on this occassion. Violent Demise The Last Days was I believe BC's finest work to that point in time. Yes the original album got all the coverage, but this album showed real improvment in the bands skills to play both together and great music! My Way is the best track on the album and blows the listner away straight from the start!
