Brutal Truth's 2nd full length finds them further evolving their blend of death, noise, punk and grind. the 2010 Earache re-issue has the original 15 track album and 5 bonus tracks. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd), Painted Clowns, and Dethroned Emperor (Celtic Frost) were originally released on the Need To Control box set that had the album spread over a 5", 6", 7", 8" and 9" vinyl. i'm not really sure where Eggshells or Head Cheese are from, probably one of the countless splits or comps they've done. the Pink Floyd cover is pretty entertaining and the Celtic Frost cover (another classic band i need to listen to more of) is cool as well. Painted Clowns and Eggshells are rad BT jams, nothing mind blowing but great tracks. Head Cheese is a little over 2 minutes of feedback, riffs, blasts and noise, i always dig when they do this kind of shit.
the booklet contains an interview with Kevin Sharp that closes with the lines "...this is grindcore 101, learn something. It ain't about perfection, it's about annihilation, brother!" well said
