Indespensable.......2006-10-28

Along with fellow New Yorkers Helmet, Unsane and Quicksand and DC hardrockers Clutch, Prong helped redefine heavy music for the 90's. Instead of focus on the complexity of thrash, Prong focused on groove and feeling which was a massive influence felt throughout today. If you love metal's history then by all means check out this album.

Still one of the best metal albums you'll ever hear.......2006-06-05

I am always wary of five star reviews for any album - let's face it, only a fan of the music would bother writing a review anyway, right? However, this album deserves every star it gets.

Like a lot of other reviewers I was sixteen when I first bought this album (on cassette) the year it was released. I can't remember why I decided to buy it, i think it was due to the cover artwork by Pushead - who did the cover art for Metallica's 'One' single, among others. On the first listen I was instantly impressed and hooked. It became part of the soundtrack to my last two years of high school, along with '...And Justice For All', 'The Real Thing', 'Frizzle Fry' and 'Nevermind', just to name a few (gee we were spoilt in the late eighties/early nineties).

Recently I found my old box of tapes and 'Beg To Differ' was the first one I grabbed and put in my stereo. I thought it might have sounded a bit dated, but it hasn't aged a bit. The album is as heavy as it is catchy and contains some of the most memorable metal riffs ever recorded. Tommy Victor shreds and his guitar has an incredible tone, while Ted Parsons (the most underrated drummer ever?) and Mike Kirkland lay down a such a thunderous rythym section that it's hard to believe you're listening to a three piece.

I cannot recommend this album highly enough to any fan of thrash metal or hardcore music. You're gonna love it. Trust me.

PRONG DIVERSIFY.......2006-02-27

Prong ARE and were one of the most underrated and inspiring bands in the metal scene. Helmet was ALWAYS over-regarded and cant hold a candle to Prong. Tommy Victor remains an inspiration, and all of Prongs releases should be viewed as stepping stones...Nuff said!HAIL PRONG! Try Scorpio Rising! Great CD!

The originator's!!!!! GREAT ALBUM!!!!.......2005-12-07

Man ''Pantera(panhorder)'' suck dont they?? ''pantera'' just completley ripped this off for ''vulgar'' and never even mention them as an influence!! SKREW THEM!!

Prong is real old which is why you know they were one of the first!!

This is an old school album to me as I have had this since 15!!!

Everey song on here is METAL PERFECTION!! but ''your fear'' is my fave..even a tad creepey!!

I think this is one of the best ''normal'' METAL album's ever..although there is some speed metal here and there!

I baged this brand new for 4 buck's in some outlet cd store,got ''prove you wrong'' as well for 4$!

Buy it if you wanna jam out!!!!!

''SURRENDER YOUR FEAR..CRAWL INTO THE FLAME''!!

Prong Improve Greatly On 'Differ'...4.5 stars.......2005-11-09

Prong's early work only hinted at the success that Prong would endure on such later releases like CLEANSING and RUDE AWAKENING. The unit of drummer Ted Parsons, bassist Mike Kirkland, and guitarist/vocalist Tommy Victor began to show signs of coming together on FORCE FED, but with BEG TO DIFFER, they truly are coming into their own as a thrash unit of primal metal. They are smart musicians, and no doubt BEG TO DIFFER was on a path to prove that statement to be true.

Cuts like the ham-fisted title track and "Steady Decline" showcase the intricate riffs and powerful rhythms that Prong are truly capable of. The interesting addition of a live cover ("Third From The Sun") is actually welcome...Prong is a punishing live unit, and back in the days of BEG TO DIFFER and even during RUDE AWAKENING, Prong truly would rock on stage. Noteworthy cuts include the opening bark of "For Dear Life", the punish of "Your Fear", and the textured instrumental humorously titled "Intermenstrual D.S.B".

Prong would further advance their metal sound on PROVE YOU WRONG and the definitive CLEANSING, but BEG TO DIFFER was the album that truly showed that Prong was beginning to come together as a thrash-metal trio. BEG TO DIFFER remains an important piece of the Prong catalog.
