Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again is the third and final studio album by American hip hop group House of Pain. [9] It was released in October 22, 1996 via Tommy Boy Records. [4]

Critical reception
Sputnikmusic wrote that "the trio’s most rounded, consistent & memorable LP is grossly under-appreciated." [8] Vibe wrote that the majority of DJ Lethal's beats are "surface-level and boring." [11]
