Why
Bottomless Pit's identity is that it's fucking awesome.
Its my personal favorite Death Grips album
Why are you by the time I get to Phoenix but blue
I saw Death Grips on their tour with Ministry, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON was there for Death Grips. They played first, completely tore the house down, and by time Ministry took the stage, half the audience was gone. Wise decision though, Ministry sounded awful live and the album they were promoting is their worst one yet.
@Wusu Wima hahahah yes
Nope, Cleveland.
Barry, Colin I was at philly, shit was hillarious
Damn :/ I love both bands a lot, ministry's gotta step up their game
those kids missed out on the pit filled with energetic drunk 40 year olds, easily one of the best nights of my life
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a great deep discog
They have so many distinct and GREAT ALBUMS
if he'll do a DDD on them it'll be very interesting.
YESSSS
Yessir. Unpopular opinion, but murder of the universe is probably my favorite. People complain about the narration, but I absolutely love it.
@@DavidMartinez-sp9ll It's intersting. Not my favorite by them, but still solid.
would be amazing!
I laughed way harder than I should've at "Master of Ceremonies" Ride
that’s what MC stands for
@@tuckerjones920 FUCK NO WAY REALLY?!?!?! 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯😮😮🤩🤩😤😤😤
It's not actually MC Ride it's just ride
You should do a DDD episode on King Dedede. He has a kick ass theme song
i endorse this statement
The 90’s Kirby Drama CD
you mean Mario Wario Lucario?
Dedede DDD
Bruh you forgot to talk about Steroids
Gradono so mad
nah he mentions it, but he didnt actually say anything about it
crouching
tiger
hidden
gabber
megamix
didnt even call it “the first half of the powers that b”
NLDW is criminally underrated in my opinion. Some of the ways the band uses the absence of sound or removal of elements is genius and makes listeners uncomfortable in the best way. Almost Scott Walker Bisch Bosch level.
"Criminally underrated" its like their second most popular album what the fuck are you on about
I GOT THE NASTY IN MY TAXI
NLDW and NOTM are my favs. At least lately. Still pissed that I didn't get a VinylMePlease NLDW. I have been a member since the fishscale repress, and I didn't even hear about it.
I think it's because loads of iconic songs by them are on side b like on GP and inanimate sensation
Around 2014, NLDW was originally my favorite with its theming and brutal sound design, plus I think it's still a (personally) strong pick for having their best album closer. Artificial Death in the West is one of their few melancholic songs while still being a good dance track. I think they never really neared that same vulnerable strain in writing or timbre until 2.5 years later with On GP
Bottomless Pit is definitely their most slow burn of an album in regards to how you may feel about it over time. My initial thoughts when it came out reflected yours, but going back to listen to again and again throughout the years, I've come to appreciate and respect the clean beats they produced with that album. I would say it's their most listenable production to date, and I put it in high regards.
NotM is still their best work tho
The ending of Big Dipper gets me emotional every time.
Bottomless Pit is my personal favorite Death Grips album
I agree 100%
No love for deep web no love smh
@@ericbacon8864 that title track is perfect
Bottomless Pit is my favorite, but I certainly understand where you're coming from on it. I find it one of the best "Victory Lap" kind of albums. It's Money Store songwriting with the intensity of The Powers That B (moreso Jenny Death).
Solid commentary!
Hard agree
Me too. bottomless pit is really underrated imo
I always got it more as aggressiveness of No Love Deep Web mixed with the more guitarish sound of Jenny Death
It’s easily their catchiest album, every song is a banger
@@jackely3300 THREE BEDROOMS IN A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ON FIRE LIKE A MARGARITA MADE OUT OF WOOD
that opening skit was the _the Money Store_ of opening skits
Anyone notice how not only does he look like deep cuts But his videos are like deep cuts for people with less patience.
niceeeeeeee
"A section dedicated to music for... lovers of music (with no patience)"
Emiliano Aguirre there you gooo
He replaced Oliver’s patience with memes
No Steroids review, 0/10
(Nah for real, probably one of my favorite DDD's yet, heart eyes)
Just a few things, DG was never signed to Warp Records (Harvest Records puts out a lot of their material) and really Zach is just as heavy into the production and writing as Andy. Wouldn’t really relegate Zach to just their “drummer.”
I can’t deny, this sick transmission definitely huffed my brain. Glad you got to them.
Next time when DDD comes out I’ll definitely not forget to watch it.
The Powers that B is probably the best album I’ve ever listened to.
agreed
i feel like bottomless pit was interesting mostly because it was the heaviest album they've ever made, even compared to the powers that B? there're songs on there that feel like they took influence metal more than hip hop. That's the main reason i find it so interesting. although i do still think the powers that b is their best album most likely.
One of the only bands I like in which they not only have more than one 10/10 but I genuinely can't pick a favorite from them
It's usually the last one I listen to
Bottomless Pit is my favorite but NOTM, TMS, and NLDW are so damn good it's hard to call them the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best
I find it kind of weird that you didn't actually talk about why they released No Love Deep Web via bittorrent despite their label. Kind of an important point and facet of their history I think.
DG historian, over here.
As a Death Grips enthusiast I feel it is my duty to inform you of Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)
ReplacedByDrumbot best 25 minutes of death grips imo
Matthew evans my whole life my whole FUCKIN life
The simplicity and rawness of No Love Deep Web is unparalleled imo. Also Ride's storytelling on the album is accessible whilst maintaining mystique and aggression. But I love N***as on the Moon almost as much. Great vid.
Doors and windows: on
Motion: on

I gotta suggest some artists that weren't on the poll: Nico, Nick Drake, Can, Faust, Vashti Bunyan, Van der Graaff Generator, Tyrannosaurus Rex and/or T. Rex, Pentangle
Syfoll I recently came across vashti Bunyan, been a huge nico fan obviously for a long time. Vashti made some beautiful stuff and seeing u mention her is gonna get me to keep listening to her discography and reading about her
@@matthewevans3718 2 incredibly talented ladies. What are your 5 favourite songs from them?
Syfoll absolutely love everything on some things just stick in your mind album, and I’ve listened to a little bit of diamond day but not much of it. For nico, I love everything she’s done with VU of course and then I liked a few of her songs off marble index, but that’s all I’ve checked out from her standalone stuff
@@matthewevans3718 You gotta go to Desertshore and The End. They're absolutely incredible
Syfoll I will, thank you for the suggestions. Idk anyone in person who shares the same tastes in music as me besides one or two that like death grips and like one or two I’ve converted to the Brian Jonestown massacre, haha so it’s very much appreciated to get suggestions from ppl like u
Deep discog dive : Sonic Youth would be great
Yes yes yes
I (insert number here) that. I've only listened to three of their albums so far, and I'm already hooked.
thank you for adding tmbg and ween to the poll, you're a hero.
I hope at somepoint you cover public image ltd, Johnny rotten of the sex pistols anti rock band
idk why but the camera angles are really good it feels really comfortable and ur voice fits amazing,good work .continue bro
TPTB is definitely my favorite DG project
as well. From the vibrant ride of emotions of NOTM (The ending of the song Big Dipper is just pure perfection), to the hard hitting start and the grand yet melancholic ending of Jenny Death really makes for a truly legendary and memorable musical experience. Keep up the great work.
Hey just wanted to say that i really like seeing a content creator like yourself interacting so much with your community even if it seems like its too much (good idea with the poll btw) but keep up the good work!
EinarK car seat is awesome
Might I suggest The Mars Volta...They have a good sized discography. However, I think they start of smoking hot and cool as they go on.
The editing in this video is phenomenal! Really engaging and never gets too stagnate. Good job!
Great video as always! Just voted for a few artists, including him, but wanted to give a special big shout out to and request for Tom Waits, mainly for having such a wildly varied back catalogue with such a strong stylistic progression, musically and personally/theatrically. I've just revisited some of my favourite songs from his different eras and it's always such a wild ride as his sound morphs across the decades
Great video! Can't believe it's been 8 years since I first heard TMS and No Love. Most impressive band of the decade imo. Very influential and one of the first to bring a punk attitude to hip hop.
This is my favorite musical series on yt, congrats man your content is awesome, I'm watching from Romania so you've gone international, you deserve to hit 1 million subs P.S. I voted for Tom Waits in the poll, hope you'll cover him at one point, he's like my favorite artist
Having gotten to the end of the video, I also see that we are in perfect alignment regarding Death Grips albums, Ex-Military, The Money Store, and The Powers That B are exactly my three favorites, as well. My choice to subscribe has been reinforced. Good job, sir!
I have been personally of the opinion The Powers That B is basically a 10/10 for a while now and seeing anyone else say it's probably Death Grips' best is amazing, thank you for the validation.
great video as always, always love watching what you put out, certainly one of my favorite channels on the website.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!! SO GOOOD
You’ve gotta do a video on pavement. The lyricism and sound play on all of their records is so off the wall but so casual at the same time that really makes a listening experience like no other. Definitely listen to the deluxe versions of the albums as well as their B-sides are equally as good
You did a deep discog dive of death grips, you've got *my sub!*
You should totally do one on queens of the Stone Age. I think they have the most consistently well done albums
Nice job man, nice editing and I agree with your opinions
6:32 this part was hilarious 😂 Great video man keep making more of these DEEP DISCOG DIVE 🙏
I subscribed because this guy pronounced Bjork's name correctly. That is a rare an much appreciated feat. It shows commitment to accuracy and attention to detail. Thank you, good sir!
You should do a dive on Black Flag. They are one of the most influential punk bands of all time, and have changed their sound pretty drastically after their first full-length 'Damaged'.
I completely agree with you on The Powers That B being their best work, however I think up my sleeves is their best song. Because just listen to it. It feels like eavesdropping MC Ride's psych ward therapy session. His emotions are extremely raw both lyrically and in the way he... "sings"? in the song. It's not only their best sounding song, it's MC Ride's purest performance.
His performance on that song is simply absurdly good.
I would give a kidney and both testicles, if they would play the whole thing live, but they always segue into another song before the second verse, for reasons unknown. Many have speculated that it's just too personal of a verse to do, and It's actually even more special on the album for this reason, now that I think about it. I love it so fucking much too.
if you do car seat headrest, disjecta membra is harder to find but is ABSOLUTELY essential. The Nervous Young Men albums from before the project started would also definitely help the listening experience and they’re all on youtube (as is disjecta membra).
Great stuff. Checked out the poll. Jeesh! You, Needledrop, The Sound Binge (who did reply to me to say SY had the strongest discography of many acts), deep cuts - none of you doing Sonic Youth! I've heard promises, but none delivered. And now, not even on your poll. Did not one folk even suggest them. It could be true. But I don't believe it. ps. Love your content x
Great video, man!
Id like to hear your thoughts on the manic street preachers discography. It’s really interesting how they change musically and there is a lot to talk about lyrically too.
Good vid but if y'all ain't know, DG did a song with Les Claypool of Primus fame. Name is More Than the Fairy and it's a confirmed bop.
Can you do one for janelle monae or siouxsie and the banshees? Or maybe st vincent?
Edit : Or also maybe andrew bird?
Yesssss that Lighthouse shot your taste jumped out my king
Dope video. Blink182 might be a good suggestion, I'm too lazy to find the poll
I honestly wouldn't mind listening to the entirety of the relaxing meditational version of Beware tbh lmao
Dude that Lighthouse reference with get got in the background made me laugh for too long
I was listening to the entire Death Grips discography again yesterday
Do a DDD on Justice. Genesis is super under appreciated album with fresh sounds that still sound good today
One band you didnt inslude in your pollwhich I’d love to see is Alice In Chains. I would love if you could do one on them
I’d love to see a deep discogs dive on beach house, their discography can be pretty polarizing and I love how everyone has different opinions on their best/worst albums but everyone can universally agree that bloom is a masterpiece, and teen dream is also leagues above everything else but not quite bloom
Yo, please do a DDD on Aphex Twin. He's been my favorite for a long time, I'd love to hear your takes on his work.
I think an episode on Modest Mouse would be great, so far nothing like that exists on UA-cam and they have a huge following. Been itching to see a video on their albums as a whole
10:44 Hey now, you're an experimental, industrial hip hop, electro, punk, noise, digital hardcore, punk rap, rock star
Great video! +1 sub
Dude u should do a review on elder island, phenomenal band
A DDD on the Boredoms would be cool.
Haven't seen many people talking about them
i like how in the career review you just show anthony fantano
DDD is my favorite thing on UA-cam
1:50 damn, they really shouted out sasha grey as a musical influence. honestly, I can really hear it in their earlier cuts
Great work as always.
I know steroids isn't a full length, but I consider it by far their best work. It's like Atari Teenage Riot on well... steroids. What is your opinion of that album?
People need to talk more about the year of the snitch, that album is so cool I think it will get more coverage as when death grips continues to drop new projects and TYOTS isn’t their last, I do think it’s one of DG bests albums
wait there's an album with bjork and death grips?! How did I not hear about this? I'm going to listen to it now
I don't know much about Death Grips, but Zach Hill was part of an album with Omar, Cedric, and Juan from the Mars Volta called Cryptomnesia. I love the Mars Volta, but it's not an easy record to listen to. Though I have a feeling Death Grips fans would get a kick out of it
Powers that B is also my favorite, it show cases the full spectrum of death grips imo
0:06 ayo
7:04 You can't just make video about Death Grips without mentioning their cult leader
Bottomless pit is my favorite and probably one of the most accessible. The hooks are what got to me, but the synths too aaaaaaaaah. It does have an unique identity in my opinion
this is epic
Deep Discog Dive: Pavement!!
you're wholesome take disturbs me - darth grips
I just come back everytime for the transitional music.
Would love to see a car seat headrest dive
Every Tyler the Creator album would be great.
or its the Deep Discog Dive Decision
ok thank you, a loooot of people hype up bottomless pit and i really liked it a lot, but like i still don’t see it how people think it’s better than most of their other records, especially TMS and TPTB.
What is your top 5? Mine is:
5) Steroids
4) Bottomless Pit
3) Gmail and the Restraining Orders
2) Silly Guys on the Moon
1) Interview 2016
So I'm new here and late to the party, but you clearly messed up, the poll should've been called
Deep
Discog
Dive
Democratic
Deliberation
EZ Clap, you can steal that.
For me, No Love Deep Web is this sort of deep nightmare world of an album and I think for that, it's my favorite.
Government plates and NOTM are goated
goes hard
2:05
Last DDD: DAMN WHAT A GOOD ASS RECORD
Yea fr powers that b is outta this world
good video
This video really needs a redo, hoping it'll be made someday
but wha bout Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)
The first half n words on the moon
Do a Deep Dive into all 27 of Mark Kozeleks studio albums
i can’t be the only one who thought the censored bar was apart of the cover.
it is his opinion but him saying Gov Plates was mid made me a little sad. amazing video tho! Would LOVE to see a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard DDD
They never signed to warp? I believe they have some publishing through them but powers that b is on thirdworlds and distributed by harvest records. Great video though!
They signed a publishing deal
Axium yeah that’s what I said
