One of the only albums on everyone's year end lists that I agree with, Destoyer's Kaputt is I truly believe the AOTY. Released all the way back in January, this one we've had almost a whole year to sit on, and yeah, it more than holds up. The whole thing is its own world. It's one of those "sounds like the cover art looks" albums. Also, it sounds the same the entire album, like, it rarely shifts in tempo or mood (except maybe Savage Night At The Opera.) By the time you get to Downtown, which is towards the end of the album, you realize that's it. Nothing new at that point. BUT, that doesn't mean it's lost its charm or intrigue. This is an album's album, which is awesome considering I feel like bands don't make albums anymore, they just throw songs together and call it one. When you listen to Kaputt, you listen front to back, no skipping, and just let it do its thing. I am personally predicting Kaputt to be in the best of the decade list (2011-2020,) in which some asshole (hey maybe future Jason will be writing it for some snazzy internet music review site!) in the future will sit down and write for some snazzy internet music review site.
