Just got the CD. One of the best I've ever heard from such an unknown band. The album is absolutely a masterpiece.. the only way you could say otherwise is if you simply do not like the style. I can't describe what kind of music it is, they are truly unique. One of the most emotional singers I've heard... only others I can think of that show similar passion in their voice are Matt Barlow and Mikael Akerfeldt. rBrilliant, heavy, beautiful.

Whereas Coward by Made Out of Babies was a thrilling release with certain quirks - such as holding a consistent tempo and a weird album cover to boot - you can think of the band's final album, The Ruiner, as its more twisted sister. Indeed, this album is home to some incredibly dark material, such as "The Major" and "Grimace"; but it does feature a slightly accessible tune in "Invisible Ink" (the keyword is 'slightly'). Julie's vocals are still as wonderful as ever and, at times, she can be intimidating (hear the beginning of "Cooker" to get the proof). As a whole, The Ruiner is a gracefully disturbing ode to fellow noise rockers, as well as a few post-hardcore outfits out there.
