Oddly, this album is pretty soft, but their strongest release in a while. Songs have good hooks and great lyrics, incredibly entertaining to read.

"The Answer Machine?" is one of Skyclad's best work with many great melodies, wonderful lyrics and lots of catchiness. This is where the band found a balanced sound in which the folk and the metal were both symmetrically represented, featuring the some melancholy mood. So if you like melodic, catchy, Folk Rock/Metal then this one is for you!

포크메탈의 대표적인 앨범 Skyclad의 색채가 가장 돋보인다. 그와 함께 칭송받는 앨범. Building A Ruin은 단연 으뜸이다.
