When it comes to grindcore, I guess I could say I'm quite a fan of the genre. I love short songs, I love fast songs, and quick ones, so when the oppurtunity of finding a grindcore album in my local HMV comes about, I'll pick it up hotter than an asian hooker.
People say this is a classic grindcore album, and I can see why, but I have heard other ones that I prefer, but from a first listen, their is some spark in it.
I think Brutal Truth, comparing to their older material, really did give 2 fingers to purists, and made an album that really showed originality and some interesting influences, from noise rock, hardcore punk, death metal, doom and other genres.
It's a great album, and just fun to listen to it. Can't wait to give it another listen haha...
1. Collapse - Quite doomy and very evil. Nice & noisy. Great vocals. 9/10
2. Black Door Mine - Very fast and frantic. Great use of vocals. 10/10
3. Turn Face - Quite punky. Short and sweet. 8/10
4. Godplayer - Nice use of mouth harp (odd instrument to use in grindcore haha), quite discordant and brutal. 9/10
5. I See Red - Great lyrics. Amazing vocals. Reminds me of early Death. 9/10
6. Ironlung - A noisy interldue. But I kind of like it. Reminds me of Merzbow. 9/10

12. Choice Of A New Generation - Great lyrics. Fast, short and too the point. 10/10
13. Mainliner - One of the best on the album. Great chorus. 10/10
14. Displacement - Great vocals. Good use of repitition for effect. Great riffing. 9/10

CONCLUSION: It's grindcore...with a twist! Why would you not want to listen to it haha
