"Hip hop legend, small screen titan and arguably the coolest motherfucker on the planet, Ice-T really doesn't need to keep making records with Body Count for financial reasons or to plump up his own ego. Listening to Carnivore, however, you may sense that Ice-T needs to keep making Body Count records because, if he didn't, he may well kill somebody ... His genuine enthusiasm for this stuff - for Motörhead, for metal, for Body Count - is infectious enough on its own, without Ernie C's increasingly authoritative riffs to back him up. It's no classic, but Carnivore will still take chunks out of you"
