Justin M. Norton of About.com called the album "brash, experimental and multi-faceted", and found "Turmoil" to be "so fast it appears on the verge of collapsing on itself".

[2] Greg Prato of Allmusic commented that Brutal Truth delivered "good ol' fashioned grindcore", complete with "whiplash-inducing 'zero to 60' tempos, guttural growls, noise guitar [and] airtight drumming".

[1] Ryan Ogle of Blabbermouth.net called the album "chaotically creative", and praised "seemingly impossible tempo shifts" and the "grating, yet discernable tone and ear-bleeding servings of feedback".

He then compared the album to imagining "a variable speed chainsaw where have the blades have been replaced with sledgehammers and then taking it on a frenzied rampage through a shopping mall.

Saby Reyes-Kulkarni of Nashville Scene said the addition of Burke "helped propel Evolution Through Revolution into even more chaotic terrain than the band has explored in the past".
