After the fantastic debut, Brutal Truth return with a follow up that is much less one dimensional, but also less consistent. In opposition to the near constant pure Deathgrind pummeling on the debut, Need to Control features some slower songs, some straight Grindcore, and a decent amount of Noise influence on a few tracks, with some being pure Industrial/Noise.
The opening track is a pretty big surprise from the band, being akin to a Death Doom sound and really slowing down their formula, but it pulls this off rather well. The album continues to flow between their signature Deathgrind and the other influences I mentioned above. One huge issue with this album is that most of the experimentation is not as great as the Deathgrind, and the Deathgrind on this one just doesn’t match up to their debut.
Ultimately, there’s nothing on this I’d rather hear than the debut. The inclusion of other sounds and experimentation might pay off as growth later, but here it’s not fully realized, leaving the album inconsistent.

라이센스되어 너무 기뻤던 1집과는 많이 다른 스타일의 앨범. 1집 드러머가 KKK단이었다나 여튼 인종차별주의자라서 해고되서 들어온 Rich Hoak는 너무 다른 스타일의 드러머다(개인적으로 투베이스 드럼 세팅에 전형적인 1집 드러머 스타일을 더 좋아함) 여튼 1집의 DEATH/GRIND CORE 스타일에서 2집은 크러스트에 가까운 GRIND CORE 스타일이 많이 변경된 앨범이다. 2집 이후로는 한참 방황하는 SOUND를 펼치다. Evolution Through Revolution로 멋지게 컴백한 B/T를 환영한다.

I liked the variety on this album, and I find it pretty good quality, but nothing here is exhilarating like their 1992 album.

1995년 종로 서울음반
이었던가?? 세일음향?? 기억이 잘 안나네
아무튼 나의 20대초반시절 너무나 순수했던시절 구입한 음악
40 넘은 꼰대일지라도...
확실한것은 나이먹을수록 그 감수성을 유지하기가 힘들어요~!~~
으아~~~~ 그래도 하드락 메탈뿐

처음 이 음반을 듣고 너무 과하게 라우드한게 아닌가 싶었다. 그리고 그게 라이센스반 이었다는 거에 새삼 다시 놀랐다. 이제 이런 음악도 라이센스가 되는 시대구나~ 하고 살짝 흡족했었던.... 지금이야 과격에 엽기가 판을 치지만 당시엔 정말 내 귀를 압살하는 초과격 사운드 엿다.

와...추억의 앨범이네. 한동안 미친듯이 들었고 이보다 더 숭악한 넘들은 없다고 생각했던...학창시절의 추억같은 앨범이다. 데스/그라인드라고 하지만 이 이후의 데스/그라인드코어밴드들에도 꽤 많은 영향을 끼쳤다고 하더라. 난 잘 모르겠다만..

이무렵 국내에서도 SKC메탈포스와 지구레코드 위주로 익스트림 밴드들이 라이센스 되기 시작했었는데, 본작역시 라이센스 됐었음. 요즘에는 더 빡신게 많이 나왔을것 같지만 당시에는 특히 롤러코스터 같은 Displacement 듣고 경악스러웠음
