Destroyer - Kaputt (2011)

Kaputt is #7 on Entertainment Weekly's The Must List for next week

shoulda been higher

I gave the album 5 stars in my review which will be published on Tuesday.

I sent the "Kaputt" video to my jazzbo friend who likes almost zero new pop music and he said it was awesome. For some reason everyone gets this stuff.

played it for my jambro who likes phish and 'can't get into' indie rock b/c the musicianship is subpar or whatever... he seemed lukewarm

kind of a hard person to please tho — i thought for sure he would dig the dirty projies (not rly, altho he said the dude had "a good voice"), and akron/family before that

played it for the chick I'm seeing right now and she thought it was corny

This might be the most usual response... but ohhhhh how wrong it is.

i think its corny & i love it

at some moments i feel like i'm listening to "the saturday night live band"

~in a good way~

ha yeah i cant get the girl im seeing into anything that remotely codes as 'cheese'
i think this is maybe a thing about being that age. or am i being condescending lol

last 2 girls in my car while this was playing made no remarks on it whatsoever.

is the world not ready for this album?

tbf the context of a gr8080 car ride i cant imagine this is a huge variation from what u are normally bumping??

this album is a huge variation from ~everything~

last 2 girls in my car while this was playing made no remarks on it whatsoever.

not surprised. destroyer is a geeky -- albeit great -- act (almost wonkish with the insider-baseball lyrics about other musicians and the industry), and will always have limited appeal.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY P4K WON'T GIVE THIS DISC A 10.0, BECAUSE THAT'S THE RUMOR.

The vinyl has a 20 minute instrumental.

^whoa

indeed

♪~♪ d(⌒o⌒)b♪~♪ﾗﾝﾗﾝ！！！

well you did just discover jazz for example

big talk for a dude who posted straight-ticket pfork opinions until two weeks ago

Just want to quote this for posterity, so we can remember it next time deej tries to claim he doesn't stir shit up with other posters.

something pfork has yet to do, judging by its review archives, amirite?

are you playing captain save an ilxor
there was a time when shitty posting like that would get the smackdowns it deserved

I don't see how ilxors stupid, harmless "zings" are any worse than your stupid, harmless "zings" deej.

whole lotta jazz reviews on pfork

glad i have just discovered the best jazz resource on the interwebs -- PHENOMENAL

so glad deej could help me see the light w/r/t which of these two albums is better

i dont even know whats going on anymore but this new destroyer album sure is good

I am old fashioned and waiting to hear this when I can buy it tomorrow, but I'm encouraged by everything I've read about it.

title track is already approaching my most played track on last.fm (since 2008)
