Notable lyrics: "When you're lyin' in your bed you get twisted in untieable knots/ you get worried that your baby won't find his way home/ well, don't let it fool when you're wonderin' where I am/ I'm in a wine bar in the middle of Madrid toastin' your blue eyes" ("Songbirdz").
Esquire wrote: "How to allocate your free time this month. … Listening to Angels of Destruction!, perennially under-the-radar Marah’s seventh album, for perfectly romantic notions like 'I love you so much/ Now let’s get something to eat.' 1 hour" ("The Leisure Meter," 1/08, p. 19).
