I pre-ordered it based on the short samples I listened to. Definitely looking forward to it...

Didn't like it at all. So much so that I doubt I can muster a second listen.

love it to bits, and was not a fan of his previous material.

like a lot of indie music today, reminds me of 80s stuff. from yay-to-nay, i say yay.

Agreed.

i ordered the vinyl so ill wait until it gets here to listen

I heard the title cut... very silly and very good.. I ordered it.

I really love NP, but most of the time I skip the songs with him singing.

Dan Bejar is a fucking genius.

This album is great.

maybe not.

whatever, I know a lot of people will find this record boring, and there is a massive amount of sounds that would normally be considered cheesy, but he makes them work.

I love the late night smacked out feel of this one.

I listened to one Destroyer album, don't remember which, and absolutely hated it. I've never given another one a chance. With saturation, it's going to be difficult for me to work this in.

I cannot even say it's boring, I just can't stand that voice.

he should hire ac newman to sing his tunes.

speaking of bland and boring

pretty smoove

That's the other thing, Each Destroyer album has very little in common with the one that came before it.

He's not for everyone, I get it, but once it sinks in its not going anywhere.

it's weird and anachronistic, but i still like it - for the most part (bay of pigs is unlistenable hot garbage)

it is ideal for late night listening

seconded, never thought I would and on first listen

i hear a lot of roxy music in this

70's or 80's Roxy ?

'80s - "more than this"/avalon era

I was thinking it was a bit more Blue Nile than Roxy.

I, too, have never been much of a fan of the Dan Bejar oeuvre, but Chinatown (first track) sucked me right in. I have no idea how this will age, but I'm intrigued.

I've never heard any of the Blue Nile records from the 80's so I can't really compare, nor have I heard enough to compare to Roxy, but I can say it does makes for a good companion piece to that Twin Shadow record.

Listened to it, and I'm not sure what to think. The one thing that struck me is that this is such a situational record. Meaning, that I have to be in the right mood/situation to enjoy it. Like you, Mcaputo, I have no idea how this is going to age.
