Brutal truth, one of the most raw and true grindcore bands that ever was. I had heard of Brutal Truth way before I ever listened to them. I was told about their record setting music video, and their legendary bassist. I had also heard of Kevin Sharpe’s vocal talents surpassing that of anybody else in the genre. I was more than intrigued, and I had heard enough, I had to get a taste myself.

I ordered "Need to Control" online, needless to say I anticipated its arrival for weeks. Now I can’t help but mention that my expectations were very high for this album. I popped it in, and within one listen I was hooked on the whole CD. I have literally never had an album stick to me like this. I would play it on my way to work, to school, to my girlfriend’s house; in every situation these songs followed me. Need to Control is like the soundtrack to the human existence out of control, enraged, confused, worried, paranoid, and most importantly dominant.

Every instrument stands out on this album. The guitar work includes some of the catchiest break neck riffs I have ever heard in my life. Seemingly the guitarist plays in the same vein as black riffing, possessing that running water avant-garde guitar sound. Yet he manages to fuse the bands elements of punk/thrash crossover into the songs creating a distorted mess that somehow manages to coordinate itself perfectly through each song. The bass is very powerful on this album as well, it has several moments where it takes the lead and forms some of the greatest riffs on the album including the beginnings to "God Player" and "Turn Face". The drumming is very precise. Most Grindcore bands can state their claim of having the fastest drummers in music, despite the fact that they can’t drum for shit. Rich Hoak on the other hand manages to maintain a great amount of speed and remain totally on his mark the entire album, never missing one beat. Finally the highlight of the songs for me, Kevin Sharpe’s shockingly powerful vocal talents. I had heard allot about Mr. Sharpe, from great reviews to extremely terrible reviews. I can tell you from my ears nobody can scream like this guy. The shrieks on songs like "I See Red", and "Choice of a New Generation" followed by the traditional Grindcore low pitch grunting. Perhaps the most surprising element of Kevin’s vocal work is his ability to execute several different styles of screams at an incredible rate speed.

All in All this album is perfect, if you have any interest in this band or grindcore music in general, pick this album up and give it a spin, you won’t be disappointed.
