Need to Control is the second studio album by American grindcore band Brutal Truth, released on October 25, 1994 through Earache.

Need to Control is the first album to feature drummer Richard Hoak, who would remain in this position until the band officially disbanded in 2014.

According to vocalist Kevin Sharp, one reason for the drummer's departing was that "Scott just really didn't like the touring thing.

[...] It was like 'We can't really play our instruments but we want to be in a band and we're gonna compensate by being creative.

"[5] Mike Williams, singer of American sludge metal band Eyehategod and a friend of Sharp, contributed vocals to the cover version: "Mike was in town when we recorded Need to Control."
