Refused
This Just Might Be... the Truth

THE REVIEW

A band I have always loved is Refused, in my opinion, they didn't want to, but they could have easily dominated a good portion of the '90s rock scene.

However, the album I want to review is their first studio work, that is "This Just Might Be The Truth", an album I would describe as a "different" punk, let's call it that. The album consists of 12 tracks with short and concise titles for a total of 29 minutes, this immediately lets us know that the guys go fast. "This Just Might Be The Truth" has a very monotonous sound, but listening to it deeply you can perceive small differences, for example, there are tracks like "Strength" and "Pump The Brakes" that are rougher than the others, "5th freedom" and "Our silence" are heavier compared to the rest, and "Tide" and "Bottom" leverage more of a punk rhythm.

However, overall this album makes "noise" and Dennis Lyxzèn doesn't seem to care if his voice fades after just a minute, I won't add anything more, to me this was a highly underrated band, they could have gone much higher, but perhaps it's better this way because everything that goes up eventually comes back down, and Refused is a band that should be listened to in reverse, if you know what I mean.

Among all their albums "This Just Might Be The Truth" seems to be a note off the staff and for this, I give it a 4.

Thanks once again for putting up with one of my reviews.
