On Ruining Everything Doctor Millar delivers his rootsiest record yet, with contribuitions from such luminaries as Donal Lunny (on Look what she threw away and Unhappy woman), Liam O'Maonlaí (The Hothouse Flowers frontman plays piano on Communion Money and Danny McCoy) and Bill Banjo Whelan. All while still keeping his habitual dry and dark lyrical take on the contemporary life. 'Hotpress, State Magasine and the RTE Guide' have all described Doctor Millar as "Irelands best lyricist". While the Irish Times called him "..an Irish National Treasure".

Quotes about the album and about Doctor Millar:

"Ruining Everything: americana, rootsy folk, old-time country, and occasional nods of the fedora to early Bob Dylan. The record belies its carefully concealed looseness with (as you might expect from such a developed writer) songs that tell tales." (Rated: 4/5) - The Irish Times  Paolo Nutini called Doctor Millar's 'These Days', from the album C48, "the track that changed my life". Damien Rice about his first meeting with Séan Millar: "I remember he came on stage and looked a little nervous. He fumbled a bit, said hi and then started to play. It was amazing. He was so different to everyone else playing that night. His dark, honest lyrics. His terribly good melodies.” Glen Hansard of The Frames asked him for a brief cameo role in the enhanced film 'Once'. Gavin Friday from the band Preacher Song covered his song 'O Lipstick'. For These I Love's David Balfe, Doctor Millar's debut album The Bitter Lie was an example and he called Séan “one of the most underrated of Irish songwriters”.
“One of Ireland's greatest songwriters” - Hotpress “The best collection of short stories I have never read” - The Irish Times “Millar is half Leonard Cohen and half Jarvis Cocker... he remains Irelands best lyricist” - RTE Guide "Full of honesty and integrity" - The Journalist “He is the poet laureate of Dublins dark side, an Irish national treasure" - Irish Times
This album is also available as a package with Doctor Millar's albums The Bitter Lie (1995) and C48 (2013).
