This review is from: Destroyers Rubies (Audio CD)
Latest record from Dan Bejar is among his best, an album that makes clear that whatever the songwriter may have lost over the years in terms of precision he has made up in versatility-- particularly with his vocals. Over the course of Destroyer's Rubies, Bejar coos, hisses, and snarls with uncharacteristic confidence. He's always had a knack for unique phrasing in his melodies, and his newfound expressive range greatly enhances their impact. Encapsulating and elevating the best of Destroyer's back catalog, Destroyer's Rubies serves as a potent reminder that the intelligence of Bejar's songs has never obfuscated their emotional weight.

Outstanding album, Oct 27 2006
This review is from: Destroyers Rubies (Audio CD)
This album deserves more than 5 stars, It is absolutely brilliant and so unique. I think its Dan bejar's best album so far, along with "your blues".
Every song is so well balanced. The amazing opener "rubies" is worth buying the whole album. Definatly a great and genuine piece of work. Highly recommended, especially for fans of Wolf parade, Of montreal, etc.
