Destroyer is the best band of all time
Destroyer is the best band of all time
they're up there, incredibly consistent band for sure
they have at least one of the best songs of the century in most of their albums
finally someone says it
and yes, Dan bejar is as good a lyricist it gets. he tops Cohen and Dylan for me
album rankings ?
kaputt > your blues > streethawk > rubies > trouble in dreams > this night > poison season > city of daughters > thief > ken > have we met
have to wait for the new one to sink in first before ranking it, but definitely better than the last two very mediocre offerings
rubies > poison season > streethawk > kaputt > your blues > ken > labyrinthitis > thief > have we met > city of daughters > trouble in dreams
i'm really into this phase of Dan's career
no it not
Anyone seen them live before? I'm seeing them next month
poison season appreciators rise up
I've seen him twice, both great shows, pretty much what you expect. he's got a unique stage presence.
this album is a spectacular return to form. Further cementing Destroyer as all-time great for sure, and if this launches Dan into a new post-synth era i can see him being considered at the level of, like, Leonard Cohen once he finally retires. He’s outlasted almost everybody and seems to be about to open up an entire new world of songwriting. This is my favorite album in a long while.
First half of Rubies > Kaputt > Rubies’ second half > Streethawk = Labyrinthitis > Poison Season > Thief = Your Blues = Have We Met > Ken > Trouble in Dreams = City of Daughters > Golden Bridge > This Night (except Goddess of Drought which is top tier)
they're not, but they're definitely the best band out of vancouver
kaputt > streethawk > rubies > your blues > labyrinthitis > this night > trouble in dreams > poison season > ken > city of daughters > have we met
that should be an > not a = in between Your Blues and Have We Met
this, have we met is destroyer's worst record
three or four times, first time was in 2008 and last time was i think four years ago. they're better live now, noisier, more abrasive, bejar screams
so far for me is Kaputt > Rubies > Ken > Have We Met > Poison Season > Trouble In Dreams > This Night > Thief > City of Daughters
Have We Met first half is incredible and i really wish it stayed that way in the second one
their 2010s albums are underrated
fuck i forgot Your Blues, it goes after Ken. Also a perfect first half
Times Square is seriously one of the best song ever made, it fills me with so much joy
it’s not even close to the worst, as per my ranking. It’s more interesting than Ken and Trouble In Dreams, and This Night is almost irredeemable imo. I do wish it were just a little bit better though. Dan’s getting better at new kinds of vocal delivery but is either getting worse at or bored of his bread and butter and i think Have We Met suffers as a result
it's short and good. This Night is long and bad.
an album with Crimson Tide, It Just Doesn't Happen or Cue Synthetizer can't be even near their 5 worst
i mean Crimson Tide is basically his synthpop era Chinatown
