Thief is the third studio album by Destroyer, released in 2000.[3][4] It was the first recorded with a full band on every track.
Exclaim! wrote that Bejar's "biting socio-political commentary sets him apart from soft pop merchants like Belle and Sebastian, while creating music far superior in its sheer beauty."[5] Neil Strauss, in The New York Times, called the album "phenomenal."[6] The Globe and Mail thought that "the full-band settings are downright grand, fashionably tinged with some Beach Boys and Bowie; Bejar's singing is less naggingly affected, more commanding."[7]
