"Aging takes on a mythic air on this latest incarnation of Low's slow transition from sleepy minimalists to complex composers." - Grade: A-, Included in the Wire's "2005 Rewind: 50 Records of the Year.", 3 Stars Out of 5-"It's Ambitious, Edgy, and Sonically Unlike Their Last Half-Dozen Records...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "Low are uncommonly loud, at times even lethal, on THE GREAT DESTROYER....impressively visceral darkness...", "Years of gradually opening up their minimalism have imbued Low with the wisdom to make every new layer count." - Grade: A-, 4 stars out of 5 - "THE GREAT DESTROYER is the latest high from a band that routinely rewards the virtue of patience.", 4 stars out of 5 - "The album draws on the best traditions of The Byrds, The Replacements and Neil Young while adding into the mix a bilious anger that's peculiar to our times, Low are building up a headful of steam, not running out."
