    Daybreaker is a great album. It'll go down as one of Architects' finest works.

    Though the album is assembled well, and almost anyone will find the playing impressive, it won't please everyone.

    Daybreaker is their best yet. [Jul 2012, p.90]
  6. Forging a path not quite dismissing their last batch of cuts, Architects' drive to re-assert their heavier influences makes for a back-and-forth slug match that draws on a little too long at points – yet is still memorable enough to keep you coming back for the highlights.

    A return to heavy, complex and vicious riffing, though Sam Carter's sporadically tuneful vocals still offer respite. [Jun 2012, p.100]

    Daybreaker sounds stripped down, not a step up.
