Recently signed on Bridge Nine Records, the Baltimore guys of Ruiner finally released their first album called "Prepare To Be Let Down". Produced by Jim Siegel (Dropkick Murphys, Have Heart, Guns Up!, Blacklisted), the anger and despair of Rob Sullivan and friends couldn't be more magnified. But even if this album is fueled by some good dark and thick melodic hardcore songs, the whole stuff leaves much to be desired.
In fact I can't deny an uncommon inspiration (digging in poetry and textes of the american philosopher Henry-David Thoreau), but some "I've heard this riff a million times before" passages offend the quality of the set.
