Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary former H眉sker D眉 frontman delivers an incredibly vital, remarkably energetic solo album heavily inspired by the sudden passing of his father. 'Beauty & Ruin' perfectly balances fiercely loud, heavily distorted alternative rock guitar riffs with his signature, undeniably catchy pop-punk melodies. The album is a profoundly emotional, incredibly fast-paced, and highly triumphant return to form.
