    Meh, angry boy midtempo crap, not memorable at all, not well written, not interesting. Who listens to this **** I honestly can't imagine anybody older than listening to this.

    I've been following F. Carter back from the Gallows days and i find this one really good. He's yelling less but it's not a Pure Love album neither.

    Good stuff.

    This is my favourite Rattlesnakes album. Good, catchy melodic punk-rock. The album have some bangers, but also there are a lot of emotions in the lyrics (for example Neon rust)

    Despite its varying sonic proclivities, Modern Ruin is a punk album at heart, but that Carter ends this latest salvo with hope for a better, more empathy-driven future for his child shows that he's capable of more than just mosh pit-inducing invective.

    Carter’s default psyche is an afflicted one, and his lyrics commenting on the migrant crisis typically don't pull any punches. On the other hand, his first steps into a more ornate sound on Neon Rust is a welcome change.

    While there’s certainly more emphasis on melody this time around, it’s brought about through noticeably more mature, more refined compositions.
