 17. Painted Clowns

 19. Eggshells
 20. Head Cheese

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

Brutal Truth was formed in 1990 by ex Anthrax bassist Dan Lilker, this is their first full length. to me this album had more of a death metal influence than other BT albums i've heard. 

this is the 2010 reissue that has the original 15 tracks plus 11 bonus tracks.
tracks 16 - 18 are off the Perpetual Conversion EP, released in 1992. 

tracks 19 - 22 are previously unreleased and are all covers of a band called S.O.B

tracks 23 - 26 are off the Ill Neglect 7" released in 1993. 

this was another great Earache reissue. a definite must listen.

 so this was Brutal Truth's first full-length since they broke up in 99 and reformed in 06, 5th over all, and it's like they didn't even miss a beat. if anything they spent those 12 years building up some serious aggression. 20 tracks of grind with a bit of experimentation. the album was mastered by Scott Hull, of Pig Destroyer and Agoraphobic Nosebleed among others (bands that will be showing up here later), and it sounds amazing. i'm not really gonna get into Brutal Truth's history here 'cause i've got a few more Truth records to get to, including their 1st so i'll get to it there. but yeah, another rad album from some old school grind masters.
