[edit] Reception

Ruin was released to positive reviews but seen as a diversion from their previous work Nightmares which was more akin to the works of The Dillinger Escape Plan or Botch.

Ruin was the first Architects album to feature new vocalist Sam Carter who's vocal style was a marked change from that of previous vocalist Matt, being more or a hardcore shout than a metalcore scream. This is most obvious on the re-recording of "To The Death" (from Nightmares) in May 2008 that was available for download for a short period.
