of fakings and false starts: destroyer albums poll

This is tough, leaning towards Streethawk narrowly over Rubies and Kaputt.

Wife's in the US at the moment, so I've asked her to pick up Streethawk, which is about £18 on import in the UK.

i can get with these results although kaputt is anachronistic enough to seem a sort of different animal that everything else in the "oeuvre"

I have enduring respect and faith in the results of ILM polls, but no. No.

Thief getting no votes seems wrong

i only know Kaputt and Destroyer's Rubies, so these results seem right to me. i really need to explore more music from this guy as i think he is pretty brilliant.

kaputt was clearly the best album of 2011, a nose ahead of the three releases by the weeknd, but also probably better than anything released over the past several years (a nose ahead of, again, the three releases by the weeknd.)
