For me Prong were always a band hard to pigeon-hole. I saw them supporting Faith No More in promotion of this record and remember the icy feeling that emanated from the stage as thousands of confused FNM fans looked on. Prong, like their name suggests, have always delivered a short, sharp boot to the head, reliant on muscular crossover type of sounds from a spiked punk-hardcore, to industrial tinged anger. Whatever Prong choose to spit out always fits within their grey hue of a noise and 'Beg To Differ', is no different, except now the band are more groove based, punchy in their rhythms and at times, dare I say it, slightly funky, but all the while beefy, and sure to inspire bands such as Pantera. 'Take It In' has a full throttle thrash feel to its structure, and the title cut digs in like a rusty hook. Prong have no limits as long as they can muster some kind of icy, metallic and bruising groove which has earned them respect from day one.
7/10
