Goodbye Cruel World!

Brutal Truth

Edit

This is BT's final album, but at least they go out with a bang, actually noise carnage that resembles some of the best grindcore ever released. The first cd is a live recording from Australia, and while it does have it's tinny production moments, you'll soon forget them as you succumb to the sheer brutality (pun intended) to the overall massive attack that you suffer from the songs. "Walking Corpse": awesome. "Cornucopia" stunning. "Jemenez Cricket": shattering. The second disc is a culmination of other live recordings, covers and b-side one offs. Regardless, an essential purchase for the grind freak. Kevin, gurn, rich and danny shove their primitive foot through our weak skulls for the last time.

brutal truth is one of my favorite death/grindcore metal bands. I loved extreme condtitions and need to control but this one doesn't do it as much for me because of the horrible production. it still contains brutal truths best songs live and about ten cover songs so its worth buying for anything brutal truth fan but its not a good introduction to the band. you get your moneys worth with the tracks though, theres over 2 hours of brutal grindcore here, but still the production brings this album down a lot, i say get extreme conditions demand extreme responses first.
