Hearing this after having heard hacker hundreds, if not thousands, of times, is so fucking surreal. It’s like when you hear a song in a dream, but can’t remember the lyrics, so your subconscious just fills everything in with random sentences mixed with lyrics from the real song. Very strange experience..
To be fair, this isn’t a bad track - it’s not finished. It’s not a matter of needing to improve so much as develop the song into what it became on the actual album
this is definitely interesting, but glad they stuck with the final version. Although some of the original lyrics in this one are so dope I wish they would have kept some (I.e. "I'm the universe with standard issue combat boots on." that line is sick af).
This gives me anxiety because I'm expecting the song to go one way and then I hear something I've never heard before it's uncanny and surreal and I love it
this doesn't feel unfinished to me, it feels frantic. less self assured and cocky than the original, to its benefit. it has a sense of panic that Hacker doesn't have
I think, as refined and great as hacker is, having the full intended lyrics is definitely something that Earth Angel holds over Hacker. I think the hook goes a bit harder here too. The Exmilitary feel of the lyrics in how descriptive they are with the money store era topic is something that I am glad exists. Hacker is definitely a better song but Earth Angel holds more value and feel. Thank you for posting this.
I would 100% be up for replacing one of Exmil's weaker tracks with this, especially I Want It I Need It. Or hell even merging 5D and Culture Shock and keeping both.
necro post but i believe it has to be early andy and stefan, before either of them had refined their style, after dg was formed with zach hill they rewrote it and remixed it with mostly the original samples, drums are probably recorded by zach
This has come up in my recommended for over 3 weeks now. I've listened to it so many times that I just heard Hacker again and I seriously missed the Earth Angel hook. I guess it goes to show how well thought-out the concept of this song is, in both versions.
It's interesting to hear how Hacker could have sounded, but this honestly feels boring compared to it. I never want want to have to use "boring" to describe a Death Grips track.

Yeah, Hacker is way better but this version is still very interesting considering all of the added lyrics from ride, plus all the cool little catchy moments.
Honestly, if they'd just put this on Exmilitary then it would've been another good Exmilitary track. However, I'm glad they put the finished version on The Money Store as an absolutely legendary song.
"upload my face, crash the gates" is such a sick line and compliments the rawer vibe of this instrumental. song captures their stylistic movement from Ex-military to Money Store so well it's like it was too powerful to not get cut from the track list & reviewed. Hacker v Earth Angel both go hard just in slightly different directions
I'm not a musician so idk if this is the correct phrasing, but the sorta macro design/song structure here is reeeeeeally interesting. I don't think it's just because of having listened to hacker, this thing is a fever dream structurally
I assume you mean it being longer and a bit more patient with revealing all of its tricks. A lot of Exmilitary feels more like that to me, longer songs that are more like journeys with sudden twists and highlights popping up from time to time. Seeing it play out in hacker, which in TMS is a straight up spoken word pop rave beast, is super interesting. Doesn’t work nearly as well, but it’s a fun and pretty immersive idea. Although it gets kind of irritating after a while, mainly the drums and the vocals being somewhat monotone.

This really kinda works, sounds like a track off Ex Military.

this is definitely interesting, but glad they stuck with the final version. Although some of the original lyrics in this one are so dope I wish they would have kept some (I.e. "I'm the universe with standard issue combat boots on." that line is sick af).

this doesn't feel unfinished to me, it feels frantic. less self assured and cocky than the original, to its benefit. it has a sense of panic that Hacker doesn't have
while Hacker has the mood and feel of being the Hacker, this one sounds like being a victim of said hacker
That is exactly what it feels like to me too
Feels very noided you could say
I love this version, that drum breakdown @ 3:35 is fucking paralyzing.
Slightweez those are drumline snares lul
my toes curled when I heard that
Makes me smile to think that even Ride gets rambly sometimes and needs to be edited.

@IziphoZam yea i know that sample, but typically in dg songs even rudimentary beats are recorded by zach on v-drums, thats what i mean
@IziphoZam im saying earth angel is early andy/stefan without zach
this is what it’s like to hear songs you know in a dream
in the highest of hacker swagger
I legit can't wrap my head around this version of the song.
It's unexpectedly calm
that day when Andy was sick
I like hacker a lot but sometimes the "EARTH ANGEL EARTH ANGEL ANSWER THE CALL" is nice too
If the money store was exmilitary 2
Yep, this was intended for ex military never made the cut for some reason.
0:21 Feels illegal

the official version on the money store obviously is better but there are some moments on this demo that i kind of wish made it onto the final mix
same. specifically, "Upload my face. Crash the gates."
@@PoisonDartFiend and the original chorus lyrics
I like the Chorus more.

This has come up in my recommended for over 3 weeks now. I've listened to it so many times that I just heard Hacker again and I seriously missed the Earth Angel hook. I guess it goes to show how well thought-out the concept of this song is, in both versions.
i like both versions. but i prefer hacker since it's more energetic. but this kicks ass too.
The fact that it's more stripped back than Hacker helps and hurts it IMO. Still a pretty good track though.
ah yes
exmilitary-flavored hacker
feels so much more raw. i love it.

this is so fucking interesting. this was just ride trying to find the style for the next album.
I like this more than hacker honestly. It feels like this was what was really intended to be released.
I like the hook here a LOT as well, but Hacker is just so much more polished and refined

best version
This is the auditory equivalent of knowing that your wife is a Skinwalker but being too terrified to say anything about it

Shed my skin
Leave it for the homeless to sleep in
And I'm breathing cause someone smoked the right shit in Eden
Order given: Adam smash out in Switzerland
2080, a newborn son
I will be here
Prodigal, fuck that nautical
Teachin' bitches how to swim
[Hook]
I'm in a transitive headspace
While my dick still seems shaved
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
On a door placed between God's legs
Where dragons roam and lesbians will cut your face
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Techno protests kicking religion off the lawn
I'm the universe with standard issue combat boots on
Bitch!
[Verse 4]
Burmese babies under each arm
Screaming beautiful songs
The cray-cray ultra-contrarian
Havin' conversations with your car alarm
When you come out, your shit is gone
Soon your crew will be serving sandwiches named after me
Vietnamese style, fool, please
Fly up to the caller's street
All the owls holler at me
Huff as a ghetto, so I'm staying broke indefinitely
So let the pyramids of [? 4:01] no show
Cause the gods said so
Everybody's like "No!"
Eighty-thousand glow sticks crack for nothing
That's the fucking joke, ho
Front row at the mass games
Untraceable by name
You speak of us in certain circles, you will be dethroned or detained
Dumpster-diving through dimensions out of your world
[Hook]
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
Earth angel, earth angel, answer the call
