    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.

    Unfortunately, there's not much here to distinguish Ruins from the group's previous work, and too few of these compositions stick once the album is done.

    Although I prefer the rougher edges of earlier efforts, this is Talkdemonic's best mixed and most expansive record to date.

    With a few great epics, some nice ear candy, and an abundance of mood, they're serving up the usual like bartenders. [Oct 2011, p.108]

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