Confuse & Conquer is the seventh studio album by the American hardcore punk band Poison Idea. It was released on CD and LP by Southern Lord on April 7, 2015.[1] [2] It was the band's first full-length release since 2006's Latest Will and Testament and, as of 2022, their last studio album. A recording of the band's late guitarist, Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts, was included in the song "Hypnotic".[3]
Reviews for Confuse & Conquer were largely positive. Verbicide said "Confuse & Conquer easily stands right next to some of their classic albums",[4] and Invisible Oranges stated that the LP "maintains their signature sound without getting bogged down by stale tropes".[5] Fred Thomas of Allmusic claimed that the album offered "a set of tunes that feel freshly anguished and uproarious rather than aiming to re-create the energy of the band in their earlier incarnations".[2] Meanwhile, Joshua Hart at LouderThanWar.com, in what was otherwise a mostly positive review, criticized "Hypnotic" as "a boring rerecording of an older song" and labeled "Me + JD" as "slapdash Ramones-light with too-loud drums".[6]
