Thief is like a cheap second hand copy of Streethawk dude, some memorable moments but no memorable songs

Just to be clear, it's far from my favorite Destroyer album but it's still awesome.
rubies has a cozy and perfect feel to it, but i think that's just nostalgia on my part.
find his albums to be uneven, honestly.

This Night is so underrated
>>61563412
ig he'd taken out 30 minutes of it than it might be good
>>61563785
It's definitely looser than his other releases, but I don't think there are any really weak songs on it.

You will never drink wine with Dan Bejar as he spews non-sequiturs in your direction

Kaputt is one of the best albums from this decade.
>IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS ILL-TIMED AUGUST RAIN
is literally one of my favorite music moments ever, gives me all sorts of uncontrollable feels each time
>>61564473
also this, if there is one musician I want to know personally it's him
>You will never experience the synths in Notorious Lightning for the first time again
Why live?

Bay Of Pigs is lyrically one of my favourite songs ever. Not because of any meaning, I have no idea what he's on about (if anything), but because the words just sound so good when he says them.
>The world's just bones
>The world is black stones dressed up in the rain with no place to go but home
>Beneath the diseased lighting of the discotheque at night
>A crumbling beauty trapped
>In a river of ice
>A crumbling beauty trapped in paradise
>Oh yes it was paradise
>You've got to spend money to make money
>You've got to stop calling me honey

I think he is one of the most poetic and best lyricists of the past few decades. Not that he goes on about anything particularly profound or enlightening, just the fact that that he strings words together like no one else. Every album has the same quality of master-tier lyricism.

Your Blues sucks but that moment really made me love Destroyer. His other work is so much better but that's my favorite song of his.
All of his longer songs are really good.

>doesn't know thief
>tfw his songs with The New Pornographers are your favorite but his solo stuff just feel Kenny G-tier
>>61565169
What albums of his have you listened to?
>>61565169
This retard probably only heard Kaputt
>>61562722
Dan 100% singlehandedly got me into music. Pulled me right out of the tender, edgy cradle of Linkin Park. Hardly ever see him discussed on /mu/, aside from the Kaputt hype in 2011

>We'll Build Them a Golden Bridge

You're disgusting
