Album Description
Available in:
"Ruining Lives" is the ninth full length studio album from American metal band Prong. Released on April 23, 2014, on the Steamhammer label. The album was produced by Tommy Victor and Steve Evetts.
User Album Review
At first glance, Ruining Lives looks extremely promising for longtime Prong fans. For one thing, that awesome Pushead-esque album cover is a total throwback to the Beg To Differ/Prove You Wrong era. And yes, the album does have a few tracks that recall the old days, such as “The Barriers” and “The Book Of Change.” Victor is undoubtedly aware that Prong‘s early material is back in fashion among retro-minded metalheads, and at least in small doses, he is happy to oblige them.
My main issue is that, for all its attempts at being catchy, Ruining Lives is pretty unmemorable. Tommy Victor is a monster guitarist responsible for some of modern metal’s catchiest riffs, and I’m a little surprised that he didn’t deliver in that capacity here. Even the last two records had riffs that could easily make Prong‘s highlight reel , so there’s still some gas left in the tank. But Ruining gets by on merely sounding kinda like a Prong record, without being a necessary addition to the catalog. If you enjoyed Carved Into Stone, then consider Ruining Lives a somewhat inferior sequel.
