    The Horror of Beauty is a full-length album by the metal band My Ruin.[5][6] It was released in 2003.[7]

    Critical reception[edit]

    Chronicles of Chaos wrote that "no amount of musical invention would be able to drown out [Tairrie] B's relentlessly self-obsessed and tiresome whining."[4] CMJ New Music Report called the album "the most dirt-encrusted rock Miss B has ever attempted," writing that My Ruin "walks the razor's edge between subversive femininity and pro-womanhood."[2]
