Aug 23, 2011Perfect. I usually don't appreciate this kind of record, I mean, I often find them pleasant to listen to but never get hooked. With Kaputt, it's completely different. There's something really smooth and genious here, lyrics, instrumental, everything flows perfectly and the songs are so consistent and beautifully produced that I'm lost for words.

Jan 26, 2011This album is pretty amazing. The beauty is subtle and flows and creeps and all of a sudden you're dancing and singing the songs over and over again in your head. And Dan Bejar's voice is irresistibly gorgeous. Fantastic.

Apr 3, 2011This album is awesome. Its what u get when u mix Nicolas Jaar and James Blake. Stand out tracks include ' Blue Eyes', 'Poor in Love' and 'Song for America'. As of April , its my Number 1 album of 2011 so far.

Jan 26, 2011It blends genres many may feel are unauthentic- disco, new age (Yanni anyone?) smooth jazz-but under Bejar's steady hand we get some beautifully lush grooves that I just can't stop listening to over and over again.

Apr 3, 2011The critics are right. This album is the hottest listen out there right now. the mellow music with sax do not take away from Behar's original sound, they enhance it. The lyrics are so cool. This is one I will go back to many, many times -- sometimes an album needs to have repeated listens to appreciate it, but this album just takes one listen !!! Get it!

Feb 21, 2011I love Destroyers lyrics, and the grooves and instrumentation are shamelessly 80s. I feel like Destroyer is ahead of his time, and time will tell if Ferry-esque smooth pop becomes all the rage in the next while. Either way, this album is compulsively listenable, a joy from start to finish.

Mar 14, 2015Takes 3 or 4 close listens to reap all of its melodic rewards, but this has now sped up into my all time favourite records. A warm delight from beggining to end.

Mar 6, 2012Kaputt is a record like no other. Each track is beautifully written and crafted together perfectly. I have no complaint for this record. It's flawless. It's some of the smoothest music I've listened too in quite sometime. It's a delight to listen to and it gets better each time I listen too it. All In All, Kaputt is an important record that needs not to be missed. A

Feb 3, 2011I was never a fan of smooth rock from the 80s, but Dan Bejar has re-constructed that vibe to near perfection. This is phenomenal album with excellent songwriting. Michael Bolton should be taking notes.

Nov 3, 2014Some jazz and some new wave with flutes and weird lyrics... sweet album for every moment of my life... spring, summer, fall or winter, doesn't matter...

Jun 8, 2015It's hard to come by an album with such pristine and smooth layers. It feels as if Dan Bejar found heaven in a room and recorded the entire album there.

Jan 17, 2012This is how the pleasure principle feels to an alienated unbeliever resigned to engaging the world on his own perverse terms.

Dec 22, 2011It's unique and warm and beautiful, as love letters are supposed to be.
