Uscito nel 2005, "Ruiner" è forse il miglior disco degli A Whilelm Scream, anche se non porta nessuna novità nello stile della band. La ricetta è sempre la stessa, melodia contrapposta a velocità e a micidiali cambi di tempo, brani dalla struttura decisamente complicata per il loro genere e soprattutto tanta tecnica.
Già dall'opener si può constatare quanto la band sia imprevedile: "The King Is Dead" si apre con un arpeggio grezzo ma melodico per poi partire a tutta velocità con i suoi improvvisi e forsennati cambi di ritmo. Il disco non perde incisività neanche un attimo anche negli episodi più tranquilli come "In Vino Veritas II" unica ballata del disco. I brani di spicco in questo CD sono difficili da individuare, tutto scorre compatto, ogni pezzo ha una particolare caratterisca che lo rende diverso dagli altri, "God Loves A Liar" ha una batteria molto veloce e più accativante di quella di altri brani del disco, "Cancer Dream" ha un riff tagliente e cambi di tempo improvvisi secondi solo a quelli dell'opener, "The Soft Sell" si contaddistingue per una linea di basso particolarmente curata che getta ottime fondamenta per un riff piuttosto tecnico ed originale, potrei continuare fino ad elencare tutte le 14 traccie.
Il succo è che questo è un disco da sentire alla faccia di chi dice che l'hardcore melodico è un genere scarso.

No matter where we run, it's only a car-length away. [x2]
This is the time, if it were up to me now.
This is the time, we can rise from the ground.
This is the time, hold onto me now.
No matter where we run, we'll do this til our legs will break.
This is the time, if it were up to me now.
This is the time, we can rise from the ground.
This is the time, hold onto me now.
In a bed for liars, can we be true for once?
Am I the ruiner of you too much?
I am so f**king bored. [x2]
And ever second is an hour.
What's a minute when you weren't counting it?
Cause every new day's a struck match, a falling out.
Now it's doctor's scripts and 666.
It's a voodoo doll stabbing at the cest of the heartless.
Can't you refrain from all that shit for now?
Give me the warmth of an island,
give me the sense of a want to go home.
Give me a loss due to damage,
give me the strength or the balls to be hated.
I am so f**king bored.[x4]
No matter where we run, it's only a car-length away.
This is the time, if it were up to me now.
This is the time, we can rise from the ground.
This is the time, will you look to me now?
This is the time, hold onto me now.

There's a waiting list to the bottom, under you.
Ex-husbands, romantics and perverts and masochists.
I'm gonna be there too.
Where's the stop where the train's gonna hit me?
True, I live for when you bullshit me.
Tell me you want me, tell me you need me.
Undress me with your eyes.
Lie to me.
Here we are, in love again.
Congratulations,
I'm here as the entertaining fool.
Must have broke every bone in your wrist, how romantic of you.
We both got this sickness; goddamn it's addictive.
It's got me bleeding for two.
Where's the truck full of bricks here to crush me?
Don't you f**k with this halo above me.
Tell me you caught me, tell me I'm sorry.
Kick me back in your life.
Torture me.

The sudden sight of mirrors brought the hero's demise.
Hey operator, stop acting civilized.
I want to be you.
And the ones to resurrect sex and death bought the copyright.
They ate shit on the record.
Did you get the mix right?
Not quite.
I want to be you.
With a graceful fall did you waste it all?
I found a way for the rest of you.
I missed me too.
Tell me that I'm not so weak.
Tell me that I'm not alone.
F**k me if it pours, you're not built for this.
But it's not raining is it?
I want to be you.
And we've got the rest of our lives to be our fathers.
What a dream to wet the eyes!
I want to be you.
With a graceful fall did you waste it all?
I found a way for the rest of you.
I missed me too.
Tell me that I'm not so weak.
Tell me that I'm not alone.
Do I hear you crawling on your back?
Do I hear you folding up to fear?
Brave you, I missed me too.
We are all we have.
