***Destruction Creation*** is the sixth studio album from the American rock band [Fairmont](/source/Fairmont_(band)).

## Content

The ten-track album was released on November 2, 2010, by Mint 400 Records. On recording for the *Destruction Creation*, vocalist Neil Sabatino explains in *Jersey Beat* that they were originally "going to engineer 100 percent of the recording and just have Bryan Russell mix the record [because] we had done three records now all while holding hands with this amazing producer, but felt it was time to let go and try it all on our own."[1] He also notes that "I wanted the theme of the artwork and the music on the album to reflect a real DIY homemade record and I think we accomplished that." It was recorded over the course of seventy hours, in a small cabin in Lynn, Pennsylvania.[2]

Conceptually, *Destruction Creation* has motifs of bitterness, betrayal and disillusionment.[3] In an interview with [BlowUpRadio](/source/BlowUpRadio), Sabatino explains the title comes from a character in the comedy film, *I Heart Huckabees*, who chants "destruction, creation."[4] The album cover is hand sewn. [2]

## Reception

A review in *[The Aquarian Weekly](/source/The_Aquarian_Weekly)* calls *Destruction Creation* a "strong confident, self-assured, commercially accessible effort from an outstanding young band just beginning to hit its creative stride."[5] The track "Oh Your Bitter Heart" is described by *New Jersey Stage* columnist Bob Makin as "a jangly upbeat-sounding break-up song featuring sweet female harmony and backing vocals that [make the] understated angry lyrics seem creepy."[6]
