Music genre
Musically, Brutal Truth tried a fresh start with the Extended Play. According to Kevin Sharp, the singer at the time, the recordings turned out to be chaotic. So the studio was only minutes away from the CD shop where he worked. During his lunch break, he went over and sang his passages. This unorthodox approach also influenced the style of the album. So the pieces presented themselves much more chaotic and confused than on the previous albums. Overall, the style is more punk than metal .
