    Minor quibbles are easy to overlook on a record that is, the majority of the time, flawlessly executed.

    The rock instruments--drums, keyboards and guitar--set the framework, but it's the chamber music instrument that blows the doors down.

    Ruins succeeds a little more often than it fails, and one should look no further for a new playlist to accompany a late study session or classy dinner with some hip friends.
