I saw them for the Kaputt tour : it was good, especially since I loved the album, but it didn't particularly struck me as a great live performance.As for this latest album, it might be my favourite after Kaputt, now. the songs are less strong but the production/arrangements are fabulous.

Saw them 4 nights ago in Manchester - same experience: blown away to an unexpected degree. Loud, tight, everything clicking. There was also something about the eight of them only just about fitting on the tiny stage.
Dan wasn't even the focal point

Gutted to have missed them on this tour.
I think Poison Season might be his/their masterpiece sometimes, much as I love Kaputt. New one has good highs, but nowhere near as consistent.

I saw them in London. It was cool! I’ve been a fan since 2004 so it was great to finally see them live. Found it funny that Bejar crouched down for any of the extended musical interludes. The sax freak outs were f-ing amazing.

been relistening to this. It holds up really well. I think it's the best destroyer album.
