"Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, this album portrays the coldness of anguish. To some it might seem like just another stagnant mall emo band that'll sit in the back shelf of your library, but I promise you, it'll be hard to forget. Escalating guitars and chilling piano riffs work in tandem with sorrowful vocals to achieve an aimlessly emotional motif. Engaging, tragic, and most importantly, moving. There's not a single song on this album I don't enjoy listening to on a regular basis."

"Before Soony joined the crew, Phil Reardon did the main vocals along with Matt, and their dynamic creates a more upbeat and energetic pace. Phil later would depart amidst creative choices, and shortly after Soony fulfilled the role a year later in 2004. Lyrics might not be the most sophisticated, but who says they have to be when you have so many other intricate elements and talent behind it? My favorite song, My Heart, Your Hands, will never cease to energize me on my morning commute. Good music to make you feel good. That's as pure as it gets."

"Probably one of the most recent releases to come about on this blog and within my library. I've never seen a group who has been as open and modest as these guys are. As an album with an official description of, "Separation Anxiety was written in the aftermath of a relationship where my partner taught me that I was tremendously broken in ways I refused to acknowledge", there's a level of earnestness and intimacy bound to its contents. Honesty, brutal, undiluted honesty. To further quote them, "this album is a story about progression, becoming whole, and taking responsibility to not carry on the same mistakes". There is good reason this has become one of my favorite albums, and favorite bands. Hence, I've Been Skipping the Bus, but This Day Pass Is Burning a Hole in My Pocket is my top 5 of all time. Nostalgic and longing for the revival of MCR-era music, their debut opens the gateway for more brilliancy to come."

"Quiet honestly, I don't even know where to begin with these guys. An absolute gem; exclusively mastering the art of metalcore breakdowns, creating this abstract song structure that captivates you into anticipating what absurdity will come in the next. They utilize a variety of unconventional instruments that you wouldn't expect in metalcore, which further adds to the uniqueness and experimentation of this demo. While the cleans can be a little sloppy, it oddly compliments the overall experience."

"I came across In All Her Ruin through Youtube recommendations when searching vaguely for new Mall Emo bands to get into, and I can say these guys don't disappoint. The catchy cleans perfectly accompany their assertive screams like not many can replicate; with tight riffs that I find myself unable to control my constant headbanging. Give it a listen, the intro to My, What Pretty Claws alone will stick with you for days."
