    It feels unsure of itself, and what it wants to achieve. ... On the other hand, this sense of insecurity within the album rewards standout tracks.

    We have to wait for the final, title track for the end of suffering. That Carter’s young daughter Mercy is on the recording ramps up the emotion and hopeful vibe of this acoustic ballad. It’s a much-needed resolution to an album of full-throttle catharsis.

    In the end, what you’re left with is a generic rock album with a couple of noteworthy moments and an aftertaste that will probably alienate a few long-time fans of the band.

    Plenty of downplayed aggression and anger. Still a lot on his mind.
    Crowbar is an instant classic. Angel Wings is another standout track. The    Plenty of downplayed aggression and anger. Still a lot on his mind.

    Not the correct path.

    This would be the perfect summary for me.
    I've been listening to this band for so long, and this is, undoubtly, their worst release. They started afresh with Blossom, an album which shown strength and fury, wrapped in hardcore punk, and in Modern Ruin they explored another path, more relaxed, alt-rock vibe; a little overproduced but still with Frank's rage underlying. Although there are pretty good tracks in this album (Tyrant Lizard King, Angel Wings, Kitty Sucker and Crowbar), the other tracks seem to be pop, commercial, mainstream pieces, which get pretty far of the initial breath of fresh air that they supposed to the rock music scene.
    I feel dissapointed, bacause with this album I expected a perfect mixture of their raggy hardcore and their hard alt-rock. Guess we'll have to say bye to this band if it continues on this path.    … Full Review »

    For me it's the best from them. Don't get me wrong, I love Blossom and Modern Ruin. But for me, it's a masterpiece. It's low paced and theirFor me it's the best from them. Don't get me wrong, I love Blossom and Modern Ruin. But for me, it's a masterpiece. It's low paced and their music evolved, but it's still them. I was with high expectations on this album and I am definitely not disappointed, on the contrary.… Full Review »
