It's an easy Destroyer album to love, approachable as both a collection of strong rock songs and a literary exercise in just how far songs can stretch to make sense of the words within them.

An edifying, freeing work without a single misstep, it's impossible to grasp how good this is in a single listen.

The qualities that once made Destroyer albums so "difficult" make Destroyer's Rubies a perfect record.

Destroyer's Rubies fizzles and weeps, it twitches without rest.

Ambitious, well-crafted and devilishly entertaining, Destroyer's Rubies is thinking man's pop - even when you don't feel like thinking about it all the time.

Art—and its difficult reception—is the main subject here.

Rubies is one of the most enjoyable listens from Bejar's solo catalog and comfortably stands with 2002's This Night as his best effort.

To me, the result is one of BEJAR’s most accomplished (and self-studied) albums, but it’s also one of his least vital.
