My Ruin - Declaration of Resistance (2026)

I get what this record wants to do, and I don’t question its sincerity — but as an album, it struggles to turn anger into momentum. Declaration of Resistance is loud, confrontational, and unapologetic, yet it rarely evolves beyond that initial burst of rage. The message is clear early on, almost too clear, and musically the record leans more on attitude than on shape. I respect the stance more than I enjoy the listening experience.

Pros

1. Authentic rage and conviction – This doesn’t feel manufactured; the anger is real and lived-in.

2. Physical heaviness – Riffs hit hard, grooves have weight, and the energy level never collapses.

3. Clear identity – No confusion about intent: protest, resistance, confrontation.

Cons

1. Repetitive messaging – The lyrical directness borders on blunt-force, with limited nuance or progression.

2. Weak album arc – Tracks blur together; few moments feel distinct or transformative.

3. Low replay value – Once the catharsis hits, there’s little structural or musical depth pulling me back.
