## Customer Reviews

    A change in style since Eulogy, but is overall well done
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2002*

After a long 3 to 4 year hiatus, Imperative Reaction returns to leave their mark once again in the industrial scene with Ruined. Ruined possesses a slightly different style of music than found on Eulogy For The Sick Child. The most obvious difference is Imperative Reaction's decision to get rid of the distortion in the lyrics for most of their songs (a trait becoming more common with newer industrial/EBM releases). This is not necessarily a bad thing, but some may prefer the old style so it's worth mentioning. The music itself has changed little thankfully...still purely electronic industrial with some dance/EBM atmosphere present. Ruined is just different enough that it may confuse fans of the first album, but after listening to the whole CD, I believe most will ultimately be satisfied. I would have liked to see a few more tracks (at just over 40 minutes, it's a bit on the short side), but at least the ones present are decent material. Add Ruined to your collection if you are a fan of industrial/EBM bands like Android Lust, Assemblage 23, and Individual Totem.

    Imperative Reaction - Ruined
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2008*

This is a really great CD, a nice mix of electro-industrial and alternative rock, something you would be likely hear on alternative radio if it wasn't for the electronics, oh, and the fact that they don't sound like everyone else. There are some really stand-out songs that showcase a ton of emotion in the singer's voice. The lyrics are excellent for the most part, and the music crosses the gambit from mind-blowing to mundane. Ruined isn't perfect but for the most part it comes across as a shining example of doing something different can really sound great and not sound like selling out.

    Awesome
  

*by V***X on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2007*

The band may be young on the album, but they're light years ahead of the competition in the aggrepeo / ebm music scene.  This is an instant hit in my books.  I've been flipping the disc at my club since I got the pre-release in Nov. 20002 & it still gets play from time to time.
