This is the best release from these dudes in my opinion. I have been diggin Pro-Pain for years now, and this one still makes me wanna throw things. If you need to remove a tree stump from your yard, listen to this in your headphones and start pullin!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best One, July 9, 2002

Yes, this really is the best one. More consistent than "Foul Taste", the band really enter their own on this disc. There's great riffs, memorable structures and even a guest appearance by the always available Ice-T (and it really isn't bad... I would be the first to say so). After this disc the band went on to deliver solid material but this one has got that indescribable charm. They could have gone totally rap metal and never have so buy it and support their families.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best hardcore albums of all time, July 9, 2001

By

This review is from: The Truth Hurts (Audio CD)

Pro-Pain is one of the best metal acts to survive into 2001, and their 1994 album, "The Truth Hurts", is their finest ever. This album is a hardcore masterpiece; a brutal sonic assault from the start of "Make Love Not War" to "Switchblade Knife" at the end. Fans of today's watered down neo-metal bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit will walk away from this album with bleeding ears and confused looks on their faces, but fans of acts like Sepultura and Motorhead will eat it up. Even a baffling duet with Ice-T (in the vein of Body Count, not his rap work) comes off brilliantly. The lyrics involve genocide, anger, murder, dirty politics, and drug rehabilitation. It's not lite listening, folks.

Singer/bassist Gary Meskil's distorted howling and the crushing sound of a wall of guitars have never sounded better than on this album. This is the album to buy if you have any interest in Pro-Pain or ear splitting hardcore.
