The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth (Taang) - The Business
Well the Business are back with their first new album in awhile and I'm happy to report
that The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth (Taang Records), kicks some
major arse. Those crazed football hooligans football hooligans from the UK still know how to
put together a great punk rock album. I was a little leary at first, mostly because the
album is produced by none other than Lars "I ruined Rancid" Fredricksen. But, regardless, the
majority of the songs are full-on and sound basically like classic Business tunes. Highlights on the
album include a remaster version of the classic "Death to Dance", "SE12", and "Southgate". I am sad to
report that there is one MAJOR disappointment on this album (I blame Lars for this). There is an
acoustic track entitled "Informer" (no, not that fucking, white Jamaican asshole Snow). Anyway,
the album is good, just skip that song completely. I recorded it for a pal of mine, and just left that
piece of shit off of the tape. But don't let that discourage you, if you are a fan of the Business or
Oi! or even good old fashioned punk rock, buy this album.
