    I do really feel like death grips are poking fun at the criticism they usually get.
    "Theyre lyrics are just nonsensical" - Streaky
    "They just make loud music that's too chaotic to make sense" - Shitshow
    "They're just a meme band" - using the director of shrek for the dilemma intro
    I love this album but I can't shake the feeling they're making fun of themselves while still making great music, especially with all the self sampling. I'm probably completely wrong but it's just a weird feeling I get.

      Justin Crawford melon is insecure about giving another ten to DG because he doesn't want to be unfaithful to his lovely wife "the money store". She gets super jealous when Anthony gives out tens. She pummeled his melon head when TPAB came out and she saw the massive enthusiasm and arousal he was put under.

      NLDW is my favourite album. Most blood-pumping, primal, animalistic death grips album with a lot of catchy hooks. It prob only got an 8/10 because it came right after the money store and people weren’t expecting it to be so stripped back. I think it’s aged phenomenally though and he’s probably give it a 9/10 now

      They were really good at their peak with a lot of influence from the Greeks, later on they broke in half and the original part died off, while the other part went on for another 1000 years, however they just weren't the same as what you would expect from them at their peak... At the end they lost most of their fanbase, untill they all moved on to the Othoman empire...

Im sad i never listened til now

    • @zakkofficial7045
      @zakkofficial7045 5 років тому +41

      Experimental music is hands down one of the most consistent subgenres. It may not always have a groove or flow but at least it doesnt have a generic one like most songs that DO actually have a groove. Experimental is new ground, usually very technical, almost always refreshing. Dont sleep, most of the best albums of all time are experimental to some degree.

Hearing it for the first time, blasting into my head left me feel dirty and unnerved like I'd been sat me down and forced to watch someone get the shit kicked out of them, just a single speck of blood landing on my face.

    I think that the prevailing theme of Year of the Snitch is Ride had a hellish, introspective, days-long acid trip whilst experimenting with different drugs and environments...The whole album really follows an acid-trip-like path when it comes to tone, tempo, and thought patterns. With Little Richard especially, you get that insane synth intro that I believe is supposed to be cards shuffling. It sounds synesthetic and three-dimensional. And with Disappointed, it's after Ride's woken up from Outro, which is him falling asleep at the end of his suicidal fear-induced panic attack (DON'T JUUUUUUUMP meaning from a high place and don't take the jump, meaning don't take acid). Listening to the album always gives me a rush and I really love it but it scares me sometimes lol

    Well, Anthony i gotta say, Thank you.
    You have showed me probably the best band I have ever heard and I really appreciate it. If it wasn't for you maybe even millions wouldn't listen to their albums, mixtapes ect.
    And I would just like to say I'm now a fan of death grips from 2022 onward.

    This album is fucking amazing. The Fear is one of the best songs I've heard in years. I'm glad Fantano gave it a 9 because the other reviews are far too low. I would say most of their albums are 10s and that in the future people will accept that. Nobody can do what Ride does, he's incredible. And obviously the beats are superb too.

    I'd say YOTS is a bit more accessible than NLDW, it's somewhere around Exmilitary and Bottomless Pit. Quality wise, I really think this is up there with The Money Store. I'd give it 10/10, but my rating system is a lot more forgiving than yours.

    I'm really pleased that Death Grips, while maintaining the essence of their core sound, is expanding from it's core members. They previously employed Bjork samples to great effect and now I'm glad to say the same for the prominent Margaret Thatcher features on this record. Hopefully one day she'll be a permanent fixture of the band.
