Electrified Brain is the seventh studio album by American crossover thrash band Municipal Waste, released on July 1, 2022.
Critical reception
[edit]Metal Injection said: "There aren’t any huge surprises, but tempo shifts and a few twists and turns make this album anything but predictable."[10] Kerrang! wrote: "Those looking for any kind of genre-reinventing revelation – or, indeed, even the slightest subtlety – need not apply. But for those of us after a band who still kill the old way, Municipal Waste remain the ultimate soundtrack for smashing cans and banging heads."[8] New Noise Magazine gave a positive review and called "Blood Vessel/Boat Jail" the best song on the album.[11] Blabbermouth.net said: "[...] "Electrified Brain" is a brilliant blend of the expected and the ever-so-slightly unexpected."[7]
