That’s a pretty sick cover. Next steps: Do something at least slightly original and recognizable. Maybe play a memorable riff or two. Add some kind of personality to your music. Stop being one of the most stereotypical and derivative bands on the planet.

Whatever…The title and the album cover don’t mean shit. What matters is the content…and hopefully they will have more STRAIGHT UP DEATH METAL in this album. The further they separate themselves from the -core faggotry of Doom, the better.

Not bad album art, but i’m not going to be holding my breath for the music to be any good…

Might I quickly interject and point out that Genesis was a concept album devoted entirely to the V-chip debate and it’s worldwide ramifications, so it’s more than plausible that Ruination has political undertones.
It’s a proven fact that cynics have a 90% higher chance of being the victim of sodomy than pirates.
AAAAAARRRRRG.

AVAST YE POOR MORTALS, PREPARE TO BE TEXTUALLY BOARDED.
Is it just my glass eye playing tricks or does it look like this chap is chillin’ on a Vanuatu beach in a Hawaiian shirt and board shorts trying to order a mai-tai?

Regardless of the Big Cowbowski cover Job for a Cowboy are still no band to sneeze at, any band that can integrate progressive groove and classical style vocal hooks into solid death metal deserve all the fat, pimply myspace love they get thrown at them.

And besides, in these fragile times anytime a popular band can inspire a fresh, disillusioned teenager to go seek out real death metal and discover heritage like Carcass and Cryptopsy are owed a clap.

As for the constant slagging of the album title, well seriously, that’s fucking petty. PETTY. It’s as sad as judging an album solely on the cover art…. oh wait… nevermind.

Fuck ye’ landlubbers.

Because people are losers and have nothing better to do then to sit in their parents basements and nit pick over anything they possibly can about a band they hate because they are jealous at the bands success.

The album artwork looks incredible, and if the rest of the songs are anything like Constitutional Masturbation then the alubm itself will be incredible as well.

Why are so many people getting so tight about the tilte, its just one little word. Its whats on the album that is important. If the metal is good real metal fans will buy the album even if its called ‘daisy sucks donkey dick’ or something silly like that.

Yes, in some characteristics, I’m sure “Ruination” is a political statement! I mean, it’s not like voicing a political view is a fundamental song theme throughout Death metal’s history or anything.

I’m with everyone who thinks the title is lame. I can see the conversation now:

J. Davy (in growly voice) – “WHOO-WHAAT’S THE BEST ALBUM TITLE WE CAN THINK OOFFF?”

B. Thompson – “Well, we’re writing this album about the over-used and unoriginal concept of politics. But we can use a random word out of the dictionary that loosely relates to our topic material, or one that can be a play on words. Hmm… any ideas guys?”

Riggs – “That’s a swell idea Bobby! We’re all such geniuses, that anything we say will be eaten up by the legions of our 13 year old fans.”

Charn – ” Maybe something with how the nation is ruined? That would be completely brutalz, just like our totally rad music!”

J. Davy – (in high pitched shriek) – “YEEE, YAP-DAP DIDDLY EEE-YAAAA!!!”

A. Glassman – “Yes! That’s a wonderful idea, Jonny. ‘Ruination’ will be the title of our next half- hour album, including filler. Now let’s go get drunk, and then embarrass ourselves trying to play our own music live.”

(All together) – “JOB FOR A COWBOY… AWAY!”

everyone talks shit on job for a cowboy because they use myspace and there either a) they dont sound like they did on the doom ep, or b) they put out the doom ep. pretty much bullshit. i honestly did like the doom ep WHEN I WAS 16. which was about the same age they were when they put it out. to be honest when genesis came out i was pissed it didnt sound like doom. but now that my musical preferences have changed and matured i find that genesis has become one of my favorite albums. the second to last song, freakin mastorpiece. there music has matured and can actually be considered death metal now, and if you havent heard the new song “constitutional masturbation” your missing out big time. so to the people who say all jfac are is just bree bree are about 4 years behind the times. this band can be considered actual death metal and if your mature enough in your musical preferences to see that then you will understand the ruination will most likely be a great album that will hopefully elevate them to legitimate death metal status.
