Reception
Ruin was released to positive reviews but seen as a departure 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. His vocal style was a marked change from that of previous vocalist Matt Johnson, being more of 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. This album was also the first to feature bassist Alex "Ali Dino" Dean.
