    It's a jumbled mess that's partly aggravating in its derivative nature. Not coincidentally, you live up to the album's title by its end. Still, like any long, tiring trip, it's the moments that count. Moby continues to excel in that.

    He'll never repeat Play's monumental success, of course, but he's building a might back catalogue. [July 2011, p. 116]

    There is no scrape, no tension, no noisy bullshit, and Destroyed is eminently un-replayable as a result.

    This is a good album. It need proper listening to... end to end which I think is the intention. Really timeless. You an get lost in it. Grown, intelligent up stuff. Right up there with his best. Lacrimae is my favourite at the moment.… Expand

    Okay, I stumbed upon this album 2 years after its release, as I often to do with music which I don't think I'll like, have never heard, and anyway have something better to listen to. Then at the record store, Reckless Records in Chicago, there it was staring at me and saying "This is a good album, and you haven't enjoyed Play that much, even as much as Hotel. So I have in, paid the 8.99 (used price!), and I'm glad I did. This album can be played when I want some beautiful sounds, the kind which I don't already have. So good on Moby to forge ahead and to make this fine album and I give it a "7."… Expand
