I, Lucifer (Destroy the Runner album)

I, Lucifer is the second studio album from metalcore band Destroy the Runner.

[13] I, Lucifer shows the band drifting away from their metalcore sound established in their debut, Saints, as it features less screaming and more singing.

[15] The band released three tracks as singles to promote the album: "Mr. and Mrs. Cuckoldom," "Crumbs For The Murder," and "Isabella's," on February 20, March 11, and April 14 2008 respectively.

[23] When interviewed, Ackerman noted that after his time with scream-heavy As I Lay Dying he wanted to do an album more singing-focused, and added he felt that "I, Lucifer" turned out to be about 80% singing, 20% screaming.

AllMusic's Greg Prato rated the album favorably, praising the "new look" band for embracing "tricky prog music" and "good old-fashioned clean singing"[12] Indie Vision Music praised the band's change in direction as well, commending Ackerman's vocal melodies and calling the album "much more powerful, emotional, and memorable record than the majority of the releases of their counterparts in the scene.
