Editorial Reviews
Over the course of their four full-length albums to date, including their revelatory 2008 Sub Pop release Furr, Portland, OR's Blitzen Trapper have gained a growing international audience. The band's continuing exploration of American music has earned them notice ranging from Rolling Stone magazine to late-night network television to Yo Gabba Gabba. Destroyer of the Void takes Blitzen Trapper further than ever before, building on the band's seamless marriage of the familiar and the fantastic.

I am loving this album! My favorite songs, so far, are "Destroyer of the Void," "Heaven and Earth," and "Sadie." It's not as heavy and raw as "Furr" was--and I really love "Furr." It's got a polished feel to it. Another reviewer noted that there are many slower songs on this album, which there are, but the sound is wonderful and the songs really showcase the band's talent. Love this band, love the new album.

Just one great song after another. Yes, it's overall a bit mellower than some of their earlier stuff, but it still rocks in places and the quieter stuff absolutely shimmers. Although I can certainly hear what I imagine to be their influences (Beatles, Dylan, Petty...), they simply have great taste and in the end very much make it their own. Having seen them twice, I can also testify that they are a great live act with surprising power and raw energy. Plus they come across as nice sincere guys and they get excellent opening acts. Without a doubt, one of the best bands out there. Go ahead, become a fan.

The only thing I'd heard from BT before picking up this album was the title track to "Furr." I'd heard this was a proggy update of their sound. And I've really enjoyed this album. The title track is the most adventurous, but there is some great 60's and 70's influence new folk here. Very solid work.
The negative reviews seemed to be from people who had previous work and say this is a step backwards. But as someone with very little previous exposure, this is quite a good album. I may go buy the earlier albums and compare.

Decent..not as good as Furr
Too many slow boring songs. Furr is way better and it seemed like they barely had to try. Dude's vocals just sound off on this CD and i think they should have focused a little... Read more

A bit disappointing
I was really looking forward to this album as, for me, Blitzen Trapper are one of the more exciting bands that has come along in recent years. Read more

full of folk
I have to admit I have only listened up to the ninth track so far but I think I got the idea.
I love the folksy acoustic tracks that B.T. sprinkle in their albums. Read more

Disappointing Follow-Up to "Furr"
Blitzen Trapper's breakthrough came in 2008 with "Furr", and for good reason. That record blended a heavy dose of Grateful Dead with infectious 60s sounding hippie stoner hooks... Read more
