UncutMay 23, 2011Destroyed is up there with his career peaks. [Jun 2011, p.91]
-
May 16, 2011Ditch the first 20 minutes and open the album with the stunning, nearly seven-minute "The Violent Bear It Away," which is tucked away toward Destroyed's end, and here's a career-defining work.
-
Under The RadarJun 8, 2011As with the majority of his work, the most notable tracks are all instrumental. [May 2011, p.89]
-
May 16, 2011Bearing in mind that music about touring is of more interest to the artist than to listeners, it's still easy to appreciate swathes of Destroyed.
-
May 17, 2011Destroyed is slower than 2008's bright, clubby throwback Last Night and livelier than 2009's oft-despondent Wait For Me, but it's more like the latter, if only because none of the hooks stick.
-
Jun 2, 2011Despite a fairly catastrophic mid-album dip in quality, there are enough of the big soaring numbers, and a smattering of new ideas to see him through. So it's just like most other Moby albums really.
-
May 16, 2011The motion is uniform, the form is monotonous, the experience disquieting but benign. Destroyed is more distracted than coolly distanced, a satellite unmoored by Ground Control.
