Deerhunter - Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?

6.5

For every alluring step Deerhunter brings up somewhere, there's another questionable one they take elsewhere; in conclusion, this is a messy album that has solid ideas but overall flaccid executions.

Highlights

- The trembling instrumentals give the record pace, nerve and personality.

- It's interesting to juxtapose the sordid lyrics with the sepia-infuced vibrance and atmosphere.

- Some songs' melodies are impossible to resist.

Lowlights

- Out of the ten ideas presented here, only half of them leave great impressions.

- There might be too much space left for instrumental interludes.

- Détournement must be Deerhunter's worst idea in their career.

Standouts

- No One's Sleeping

- What Happens To People?

- Element
