On Destroyed, it’s as if his scope was all encompassing, which, regardless of the artist, will always result as clustered and unfocused.
This is not an album that can by any measure be called a masterwork, or even one of the better entries in what is quickly becoming an impressive-sized discography.
Despite 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.
The majority of the album is the future of all dinnerparties, the dinnerparty that never ends, a spooling aeon of trite politeness.
Destroyed is the type of low-stakes atmospheric mush that lounges and airports and bars play to make you forget where you are.
