Judging by the withered crown on the cover, Daybreaker is clearly meant to be the other side of Hollow Crown's coin, and it certainly plays out that way. The band took the best elements of the sound they presented on The Here and Now and mixed it with some of the heavier tones of previous works and for the most part its a lot more enjoyable than their last release. Some songs here though fall completely flat, and although "Unbeliever" is meant to mirror "Hollow Crown" as an emotional album closer, it doesn't come anywhere close to matching it.

Many were hoping for something to mimic "Nightmares" or "Hollow Crown" in their musical
satisfaction department... Grab another ticket, get back in line.

Architects go full metalcore on Daybreaker, with the occasional melodic chorus feeling like a subpar version of what they mastered at the end of the noughties

This is much closer to Hollow Crown then anything else but it has many more ambient slow
parts which give it a nice atmospheric feel however the only great standout songs that
linger in your mind are the four singles they have released already.

Incredible lyrics that carry this album, a couple forgettable songs but the majority of it is very strong.

| 5.0 classic | SlowlyFallingAwake | June 22nd 13 |
An album that shaped my beliefs and fed my general distrust towards politics. Aggressive at times, passive aggressive at seldom intervals, it makes for an engrossing listen that hasn't lost its power over time, even with over 50 listens.

Melancholy is not easily found in metalcore acts, but Architects delivered a good album that when it hits, goddamn it hits right. If it weren't for a few fillers and their (average) previous recording..

It's a solid record overall, but the band really fail to create any standout tracks, save for a few decent pre-release ones. Architects have regained some of their lost ground, but aren't quite all the way there yet.

Far too many melodic/clean singing sections put in for the sake of it here. Whilst it is slightly better than The Here And Now, it's still a poor album. Won't bother listening to their next release if there is one, they've lost their touch from the first three albums.

Not as good as their last album. Sam seems to of totally lost his singing ability. The screams are much better on this but the cleans just don't do it for me.. Disappointed

I think Architects have a found a good happy medium between the old and new sound they have recently shown. Solid effort here.

Sam Carter "This will be the Architects heaviest album yet". Well it's no doubt he lied. However, this is better then that massive shit stain "The Here and Now". One only hopes this band gets rid of trying to do too much atmospheric pieces and clean singing and start to actually realize what heavy is.

What happened Architects? Your first two albums were beautiful, then came the bland Hollow Crown and now you present us with a weak album as a mixture of The Here and Now and Hollow Crown, how creative of you. Thanks for a steaming pile of crap.

Its not the hollow crown follow up we all hoped and it's not the huge disappointment we all expected either.

Much better than THAN. Not quite a return to the music such as on Hollow Crown but there are signs of it. As predicted, it's a hybrid of both albums, and some songs work surprisingly well. The softer songs are the weaker ones in my opinion.
