Is this a 10/10
can't tell you for sure since i refuse to listen to death grips but it's probably like a 0/10
>>54488172
no, but it deserves to get one considering how fucking lame most albums fantano and p4k give 10s to are.
>>54488181
ur so funni my man xD
there's never been a 10/10
>>54488197
true that
>>54488197
>no, but it deserves to get one
yes.
>>54488205
>he's one of those people
the first ever 11/10 because it is the greatest album of all-times
absolutely
>>54488224
music criticism is a joke. might as well give 10s to anything actually worth sharing around. it'll make conversation less homogeneous.
>>54488247
this is right
If you care more about hype than quality, sure!
Loa mora lika 20/10 :V
>>54488172
As a whole and how each album worked with one another, yes. If separately, then no
>>54488172
yep, thats a 10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLP9mbCuhJc
If we take TMS as a reference point, then yes this is a 10/10.
>>54488247
This. So Much This.
post yfw u realized NOTM>JD
>>54488397
>he thinks NoTM is better than JD
>>54488397
kek no
>>54488411
It is.
The opinion that JD is a 10/10 or DGs best is based on the fact that it's more accessible and easier for plebs to digest.
>>54488172
87/100 at best.
>>54488474
>accessible=bad
stop
>JD is a 10/10
no it is not, but it is better than notm
I'd give it a 9.
Have you fags just forgot about the rest of their discog since JD came out? Exmil and TMS are both better then Powers that B
>>54488495
I'm not saying that accessible is necessarily bad, in fact I'd rate the album quite highly. The album being accessible just makes it easier for /mu/ to overrate it.
>>54488557
this so fucking much. I almost never post this out of fear of getting 10 replies of people telling me i'm wrong.
>>54488411
>>54488471
>>54488474
>>54488495
NOTM is true patrician. Jenny death is 9/10, NOTM is not on the scale.
>>54488594
Well you are wrong
>>54488594
Only you can change /mu/
>>54488606
woah this random anon said it so it must be true!
>>54488594
If you really want just samefag spam your opinion till people on /mu/ think it's the correct opinion.
Works everytime.
>>54488275
post your 10/10's of the decade anon, im genuinely interested
>>54488594
>>54488557
this is 10 times better than the piece of shit known as money store

>>54488767
The funny thing is JD fits onto the left side.
>>54488798
good. while you're at it get the fuck back to reddit too where you can wallow in the hivemind of the popular consensus you fuck
>>54488829
no, the people who separate the album belong on the left side
Solid 9/10
NotM: 10
JD: 8
>>54488851
>while you're at it get the fuck back to reddit too where you can wallow in the hivemind of the popular consensus
you are a cancer to music discussion. Nobody is allowed to have a different opinion then you because you are the special snowflake mommy always told you that you were. You are a coward. I will now post my opinion in every Death Grips thread because of you.
not even once
>>54488871
The you accidentally switched the ratings on notm and jd in your post
>>54488818
Probably sometime after the 31, once it's "officialy" released.
>>54488851
It basically might as well have been a separate album.
The only reason it was a double was a marketing stunt to build hype.
You're delusional (like most DGs fans) if you think otherwise.
Haven't listened to the whole thing but I like pss pss
The beat along with ride's seductive vocals are cool
>>54488887
top kek, how fucking new are you cuckboy?
>>54488925
nah m8, there are too many connections between both albums to rank them against each other. you're delusional (like most other faggots) if you think otherwise

There's also connections to their other albums.
Let's just put their entire discography into a single album.
>connections between both albums

Also good job calling them two separate albums dumb fuck.

Just goes to show how young you are and how new you are to this board. I have indeed been here 4 years, but refrain from posting in DG threads because of the awful side of their fanbase that you represent so well. I enjoy the banter, but it gets ridiculous when people with ego's as big as yours get involved and there is no way to get through. I am going to exit this thread and head back over to /biz/, peace.
nobody cares about your rating numbers guys. fyi.
>>54489028
Answer this question anon: Can you purchase Niggas On The Moon by itself? Can you purchase JD by itself?
I rest my case.
Just because its a "double album" doesnt mean they're fucking separate. Have you ever owned/listened to a double album before? Do you separate Swans' Soundtracks for the blinds into two different albums? no you fucking retard they're just disc 1 and disc 2
fucking normie, listen to more music
:)
it fucking sucks
they should start making better music
>>54489117
please do so, and never come back again you fucking cuck faggot
>>54489028
it doesn't fucking matter dude.
it's one album. dg intends it as one album. it's not debatable.
>>54488767
There's some truth in this graphic, but it's silly to suggest people who prefer TMS and Exmil are drones. Fantano and Pitchfork also gave rave reviews to NLDW and GP, respectively. Furthermore, JD would fall in the left column if we were being honest.
>>54489232
>>54489028
pitchfork reviewed niggas on the moon on its own.
but then again, it's pitchfork.
>>54489299
>but then again, it's pitchfork.
exactly
>>54489283
stop rating one half of a double album separately from another, you look stupid
>>54489283
>JD would fall in the left column if we were being honest.
not really. it's not their most 'out there' release, but it's not accessible by any means.
>>54489232
dont sperg over album tagging bro. don't you think the situation is flexible? this is the digital age, putting them out as two different albums is a conscious choice by DG, not because they needed 2 discs to fit one big album. for archival reasons it is one album, the powers that b, but here we're talking about personal feelings about the two EXTREMELY different sounds they have.
tldr you're a retard, everyone knows it's one album, no one cares.
>>54489232
I didn't say they were separate album.
I said that it makes sense to split the album in two different parts (like it is) to rank each part. Of course you should still rank the album as a whole too.
Again I will state the only reason JD and NOTM are two parts of the same album are so that they could build hype for JD. And it fucking worked.
It's a pretty genius marketing tactic when you think about it.
>>54488205
Here comes the autism...
>>54488594
Maybe if you weren't so fucking wrong all the time that wouldn't happen, faggot
prove to me that a 5 star rating system isn't inherently superior to 10 points.
the powers that b is a 4.
>>54489265
not the anon you were talking to, but honestly shut the fuck up... you're not proving shit by calling people cucks... plus you sound like some pretentious shit who only likes DG because "their only kinda popular but I like the shit that no one else does!", which is great, but a fucking album with more mass appeal means it appeals to more fucking people and doesn't mean it automatically sucks since you don't have to be a fucking autistic artfag to feel noided... now go no where, since no one wants you here
>>54489384
It's by far the most melodic release since TMS, it heavily incorporates guitar riffs, and the electronic noises are smoother and less abrasive than they've previously been.
>>54489584
Why don't you start by giving a reason who think the five star system is better?
I think the 10 system is better because there are more numbers, so it's bigger and better.
>>54489232
My music player separated sftb into two albums so yes
>>54488726
sorry 4 late reply
the only 10/10 in my opinion is public strain.
>>54488411
JD = 8-9/10.
If you acknowledge that it's only the first half of an album, therefore it doesn't need to feel (finished) it's a 10. One of the greatest experimental albums of all time.
>>54489625
5 is better because it's a more universal scale,
really bad
bad
ok
good
great
10 point (and especially p4k's BS 100 point system) is contrived and leads to score inflating because everyone has a different idea of what a 6 or 7 is.
>>54489613
>melodic
definitely.
>guitar riifs
yup. noisy riffs, but yup,
>electronic noises are smoother and less abrasive than they've previously been.
this is where you're wrong. this album is abrasive as hell.
>turned off
>why a bitch gotta lie
>inanimate sensation
>the powers that b
>beyond alive
also, the mixing and mastering screams abrasive. it's punk as hell.
>>54489591
ive never seen a bigger newfag in my entire life. no one who's been on 4chan for more than a month would get this mad at a post
please fuck yourself to death you cuck faggot
>>54489692
I agree.
Unless something is really bad most of the ranking on a 10 point scale ends up being 5-10.
It's the reason why 5-7 normally gets considered bad by a lot of people.
>>54489342
Okay, JD isn't an album. But it is a release and a separate disc. When you hear it called an album just substitute those words instead and then you won't feel the need to get so mad over something so trivial.
>>54488594
Dude fuck you
>>54488557
people trump up exmil way too much. it was a great album but DG have pushed it in so many more interesting places since then, and polished their releases so much more. there's less dead weight on tptb than on exmil.
>>54489626
it should separate them into two different discs, not two albums. otherwise you shouldnt even be alive because of how wrong your existence is
>>54489715
I honestly find NotM to be more abrasive
yes, the mixing and mastering on JD are very punk and there's a lot of BWOOOOM sounds but the song structure of NotM is a lot more frenetic and challenging. with repeated listens JD will start to become less abrasive, just like Lightning Bolt does (for me). ultimately the songs are what is abrasive, not the sound.
>>54489639
top kek, first we had an anon who said TPTB isn't a 10/10 and then when someone asked him his AOTD he said Titus Andronicus' The Monitor... now the same thing happens and its Women's Public strain
these are the people who dont think TPTB is a 10/10
>>54489826
EXM is probably one of their best albums.
Mainly because as the bands career advanced they became more and more entwined with the "burden of memes" and it certainly shows on their work.
>>54489828
i think tagging as two discs is clumsy. i have them as two albums in one folder, so they can easily have their unique art.
>>54489877
The Monitor is a great album though.
>>54489828
how about you jump off of something tall onto something pointy because of how much of a faggot you are

how self conscious can you be anon
>>54489384
The fact that people I know, who consistently have told me that they can't get into Death Grips because it's too heavy or dark or something, have begun freaking out about this album is kinda proof that it's at the very least more accessible than most material since the money store
>>54490218
oh shit, this thing was acctually fucking released???
where the fuck was the /mu/ shitstorm????
>>54490340
why would you make this if you didn't care what other people think of you

Of all of the pleasant things you could listen to, you people want to listen to some black dude screaming. Talk about pure masochism. You little brats need to get your anger out by getting a job at a fast food restaurants and AS FAST AS POSSIBLE YEAH YEAH FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT OF my hamburgers. When you pull beside me in your shitty cars blaring this shit, do you think I look over at you and I'm like "Wow, such patrician taste. That guy must be badass AND cool." No, I just think you're a dumbass. Death Grips is pretty much the shittiest "artist" of all time and if you like this garbage, you should be ashamed of yourself for being such a pathetic piece of shit.
>>54490646
your brother sounds like a guy who loves to have fun. you sound like my 25 year old basement dweller stepbrother who gets easily annoyed by trivial things

>>54490393
I'm sorry your only context is /mu/ and your brain, but really, this album is not hard to get into. I still think it's incredible, but don't kid yourself and say it's not at least more accessible than NotM, NLDW, or GP. MORE accessible doesn't mean it's actually accessible you know
https://twitter.com/zachhill/status/579414609544663041 yo
>>54490766
ehhh it doesn't prove anything, though the facebook comment that's like "i'd be lying if I said I didn't think of death" or whatever kinda sounds like that line from on gp so idk
>>54488172
No. NotM is really stagnant and boring. JD is great though.
>>54490661
you tried too hard
I can comfortably give it a 5/5 but I'm not sure about a 10/10 yet, I really have to think about that

>>54488594
holy shit you're actually right
>>54488205
Kind of agree as a musician.
There's always something that can be done to make it a better album, which means it isn't "perfect". You can't go beyond perfection
>>54488594
you're a fag
and wrong
>>54488594
this is the 10th reply your fears came true
>>54489232
Difference is that both sides of SFTB are obviously two parts of a whole. Same with every other double album I can think of.
Say you just happened upon these two albums. If Ride hadn't of screamed HAVE A SAD CUM BABY , then you'd have no idea that they had anything to do with each other.
>>54490515
i feel bad i missed it too ):
>>54488802
the horn is pss pss is played live
>ride comes out with an air horn just to blow it once
>>54494037
cool
>>54488205
No one thinks that albums that have been award a 10/10 are flawless. Nothing is perfect.
>>54493957
>Say you just happened upon these two albums. If Ride hadn't of screamed HAVE A SAD CUM BABY , then you'd have no idea that they had anything to do with each other.
Is that really the only connection you can find between both albums? Because if so you need to stop contributing to discussions since you're unable to think critically.
Can we agree that NLDW is their best effort. Ignore the ARG shit, even though it was tasteful. Just based on musical content. I love Exmil, but the only one I consistently revisit is NLDW. It's fucking mystical.
>>54494037
>>54488802
When I first heard IBREAKMIRRORSWITHMYFACEINTHEUNITEDSTATES
all I could think of was how fucking insane that song would sound live.
>>54494641
NLDW is my favorite, although I'm still digesting The Powers That B.
>>54488172
shits pretty dope, but i've only listened once or twice, but its dope. snippets was meh, but the songs is dope.
>>54494631
On the same track he says "fuck it out" and, if you want to stretch, uses the word "dip". That's all that stood out to me that was unique between the two albums.
>>54494716
>>54494820
well speaking about just fuck me out and pss pss, they're both told from the opposite perspective, submissive vs dominant. so its not JUST those two phrases/words its the entire fucking tracks. but thats already common knowledge and theres so many other connections between the albums.
i dont expect people like you who listen to music superficially (bro le musics sound diffearent xDD, no conneksion at all kakekek!!!) to be able to see those connections so i wont bother trying to converse with you
>Krautrock band has vocalist that just combines words that sound good together, sometimes they aren't even real words.
>It's praised on /mu/
>Black guy in experimental hip hop group does it
>SHIT LYRICS
Fuck you guys.
>>54494973
Krautrock is ass. Germans have no taste.
>>54488172
dece 8/10 imo, jenny death by far the superior disc, on gp is the best thing DG have done imo, niggas on the moon is kinda patchy tho the first 4 tracks are dope
The best Death Grips albums/mixtapes whatever are their first and last
Exmilitary and The Powers That Be
>>54495116
exmilitary is the least re-playable and most boring album though
>>54495116
I know no one cares about ratings BUT
ExM - 8/10
TMS - 9/10
NLDW - 9.5/10
GP - 6.5/10
FW - 6/10
TPTB - 10/10
That's just for the moment though.
>>54490766
this fag was confirmed fake forever ago
>>54495206
This is an opinion I see never
There is not a more insane album in their discography, despite NLDW being my favorite
>>54495206
yeah i agree exmilitary is so boring. the money store is pretty much death grips only good album. all the songs in TPTB are too long.
>>54495333
>>54495362
both of these opinions are wrong
Do you guys count Fashion Week among the rest of their discography? Does anybody like it better than their other releases? I never considered it because it's supposed to be a soundtrack.
>>54495255
Nice.
>>54494641
>>54494804
NLDW is my favorite as well. It's funny because it was my most hated album at first, it just took me 10+ listens before I fell in love with it. Maybe the same will happen for TPTB
>>54488594
Maybe you've got a point
>>54495402
This is 4chan. Welcome. The least you could do is fucking supplant them you absolute shitbrain.
I cant believe people actually fault TMS for being their most accessible. As if being accessible is a flaw. That album is perfect, even if NOTM is too
>>54489232
That's not even the same fucking thing. Do the two discs on Soundtracks for the Blind have different names and cover art? No. Were they released months apart? No. They literally just couldn't fit it on one CD.
after hours of precise calculations I've come to the conclusion that The Powers That B is clearly a 8.735 no more no less
thanks for your time
>>54495535
>Do the two discs on Soundtracks for the Blind have different names and cover art?
The first one is called Silver and the second one Copper.
>>54495710
Bro did you even ask the internet
Calling bullshit on your Fox News tactics
>>54495535
>different names?
yeah silver and copper you fuckwit. also the JD and NOTM covers aren't official covers of the actual full album, they're just what you see when you open up the discs to indicate which is which. this is done for the majority of double albums
>>54495535
No, they have different names.
Another example of this is Deathconciousness.
This sort of thing happens, it's not unusual.
ExM > TPTB (NOTM>JD) > TMS > GP > NLDW > FW
My pleb opinion
>>54496045
>>54495994
>>54495751
dont bother replying to him, he's a fucking retard who doesnt listen to that much music
>>54495751
>>54495535
>>54496045
>>54495994
all of this could have been avoided if DG had tagged NOTM as TPTB when they released it
but then again they're probably not autists like us and don't care about petty inconsequential shit like this
>>54496051
TMS belongs at the bottom, so pleb is for sure. Think about it. Their second offering revoked all of the good things they had going for them in favor of poppier beats and lyrics that might get them a major record label, and then NLDW revoked that with a slap in the fucking face.
>>54488172
yes
dubs = its a 10
>>54495116
What is this Niggas on the Moon is their best CD meme? It's just like Gov't Plates, first half is great, second half is meh. Also anyone rating Exmilitary over TMS or NLDW is an ultimate pleb
The Money Store - 9.5
The Powers That Be - 9
No Love Deep Web - 8.75
Exmilitary - 8.5
Government Plates - 8
Fashion Week - 6.5
I think my rating system is fucked anyway but I rate albums based off two things; how they sound to me and how much of it I can listen to without skipping songs.
Every single Death Grips album I have skipped one or two songs. Exmilitary and No Love Deep Web have the least (like one) songs I skip and Government Plates has the most.
Personally, No Love Deep Web was the best to me. It managed to encapsulate the sound the group was trying to go for and they didn't really hold anything back (both a pro and a con)
However, with The Powers That B, I was hesitant as the songs they released as singles were, while incredibly fucking good, sonically in a different direction for them.
I can now say after listening to the album many times and waiting for the hype to die down in me a little bit, that The Powers That B is in, my opinion, Death Grips' best LP. It's like the group reviewed everything they've done until that point and combined it all into one amazing play.
Niggas on the Moon and Jenny Death together create some kind of typhoon of fuckery that can only be described as pure DG sound. There's anger, there's confusion, there's sadness, there's joy. I can listen to the entire thing through and still get hard because I slightly edited Big Dipper to carry its outro right into Break Mirrors With My Face. Once I listened to the entire thing together I knew the group had finally fucking done it. They made the music they always wanted to make. And that's why Jenny ends with Death Grips 2.0. It's a new era.
No. Not even a classic.
The Death Grips are a disposable teen angst band, like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Gangsta Rap, with the content to match. I can't tell if Ride wrote his own lyrics or if he outsourced their writing to a disillusioned and depressed 15 year old.
Hill's drumming is the only thing that saves the Death Grips from being a practical joke.
Though I get why they appeal to the children on this board. It's music that makes your mom say, "What are you listening to!" and that's why kids love them.
>>54496884
>>54496882
you got it, nigga.
>>54488606
muh nigga
>>54496884
>mfw people pretend to appreciate zach hill but shit on death grips
It's just a bit embarrassing, really
>>54496984
He's a good drummer. Remove Ride's adolescent angst and bad Slam Poetry delivery and Flatlander's "chopped up brostep with an edge (which has now incorporated Zeppelin style classic rock riffs...lol)" production, and they become listenable.
>>54497084
LOL (Loving Every Laugh)
The Money Store is the only worthwhile Death Grips project. Everything else is stupid meme garbage. It must be great to trick a bunch of drones into downloading a picture of a dick to their iPhones.

Death Grips don't even have that much of Hill's wacky math rock drumming in their productions.

And?
I basically implying that near silence is more listenable than the Death Grips.
I'll stop criticizing now, since I know these Gen-X relics are beloved by kids, and every teenager-to-early 20s kid has "that band" that speaks to them and connects with them when hormones and confusion are running wild, but in 10-15 years, the Death Grips will be a fun nostalgia listen for most of their fans, much like someone might throw on Marilyn Manson for a laugh to take them back to a time when they were young and dumb.

This isn't about "taste."
Death Grips are a great "teen angst" band and there's absolutely nothing wrong with loving them when you're 18 years old. Again, we all had that/those bands and groups, and we will like them forever because they connected with us at a specific time in life, even despite how silly they seem in later in life. Death Grips fit this mold.
But once you reach a certain age/mentality, abrasive, aggressive music that scares filled with "dark" lyrics that scares your mom becomes less and less appealing.
Disposable angst band that will be a nostalgia listen when you're 30.

Should I use more memes and "le buzzwords" then?
I gave the Death Grips credit for what they are. And they do it well (the teen angst thing), even if I do find it sad that a 37 year old writes lyrics that would be at home on some 16 year old's tumblr blog.
>>54494641
I say it's equal with TPTB
Both are a lot better than the rest of their stuff (which I also enjoy, but not on the same level)
>>54499138
You're acting all smug and know-it-all when you're really just judging music on a really superficial level (DG is an angst band because the front man yells a lot).
You won't post your favorite band/artist because you know what you're doing is a really cheap trick and we could easily throw it back at you, no matter what your favorite was.
After a few more listens I think its the best DG album yet.
>>54494641
I fucking hated NLDW at first but its really the only one I go back to.
TMS and ExMil were fun but I just get bored or annoyed when I go back to them now.
NLDW I can listen to over and over and over. Maybe due to its stripped down bare-minimum sounds
>>54499578
>just judging music on a really superficial level (DG is an angst band because the front man yells a lot).
No. I've read his lyrics, and they seem like something I might find in Eric Harris's (Columbine shooter) journal back in 1998. But yes, delivering his lyrics in a yelping slam poetry style doesn't help matters.
>You won't post your favorite band/artist because you know what you're doing is a really cheap trick and we could easily throw it back at you, no matter what your favorite was.
Criticizing "the greatest band of the generation!" is a cheap trick now? And what is listing my favorite artists so that you can pick them apart going to accomplish? How is relevant to the debate about the Death Grips being nothing more than a band for angsty teenagers?
>>54499511
Dumbass. Fuck.
Rarely can 16 year olds come up with and commit to a consistent cohesive theme and energy. Many factors go into DG's appeal and the lyrics are not the only focus. Satanic hood man playing a methed-up character in abrasive music was really a change music needed lately imo. Now just fuck off, unless you're gonna share your music fag. Lets see what you've got if DG is so shit bru.

No. Angsty 16 years are pretty cohesive and consistent when it comes to writing about their "pain" and darkness on their blogs no one reads or their personal journals.
"I live down the street from you've noticed me, I've never seen you
Wonder what the fuck I do
Listen up, you nosy bitch, listen close
My most recent purchase, old black rope
Gonna learn how to tie it, hang it in my chamber
Perfect reminder, occult I'm made of
Come try it out whenever you wanna
Last night, 3:30 in the morning, Death on my front porch
Can feel him itching to take me with him, hail death, fuck you waiting for
Like a question no one mention, he turns around, hands me his weapon."
Truly amazing. The greatest lyricist of our time, dealing with such profound themes like suicide and mental illness with the kind of subtlety and complexity that would make Leonard Cohen envious.

Death Grips, the most forward thinking group in modern music.

I didn't expect much but JD is so fucking good
>>54500087
What did you just post
And you conveniently ignore the rest of what I said, as if I'm arguing with a parent. Let me repeat for the child: Many factors go into DG's appeal and the lyrics are not the only focus. Their aesthetic(when I said theme and energy) is not limited to the lyrics alone, its the combined factors of the ADHD/glitch production style, the rapping topics being paranoia and internet shit, man, if you just don't WANT to like it, just fucking don't, you fucking dumbass.
Stop griping about fucking lyrics in music, you act like that is the entire point of music. DG expresses their ideas good enough, and the fact that some are so hastily done(or at least feels like) can add to artistic intention.
>>54500087
Those are indeed one of the weaker lyrics coming from DG but did you even hear the accompanying instrumentation and the delivery that came with those lyrics?
>>54500492
>Their aesthetic
Which is also bad.
Since I'm not underage, Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Atari Teenage Riot were doing the whole Death Grips production aesthetic 20 years ago. And many "underground" rappers, like Dr. Octagon, Subtitle, etc covered Ride's themes when he was failing to make it as a painter, and they did so with much more wit and complexity than Ride could ever dream of.
The Death Grips are breaking no new ground. They're a one note angst band who've built a cute mythology for themselves through internet marketing gimmicks and social media games.
Like them to your heart's content. But let's not pretend their derivative "aesthetic" is anything we haven't seen before, and have already seen done much better. Well, maybe you haven't seen it done before since you're likely 18 years old.

It's just that sonically and stylistically, DG is just interesting. They're kind of LIKE the ones you listed, but not the same. Did you know you can like musicians similar to ones that you like better? Did you know that? Fuck. They just sound distinct. So it's cool that you are going through all this to tell people that a band they like is shit, but you know it doesn't work that way. Get a better hobby.
>>54500821
>Since I'm not underage
Really? Since you sound like a 16 year old who just found /mu/ and are enlightened by all this hip underground music you've discovered and feel the need to belittle everything remotely popular.
You just wanted to namedrop Autechre and Octagon didn't you?

That was a sincere response, and I appreciate that.
>Going through all this to tell people that a band they like is shit.
Not necessarily. I did say this:
>The Death Grips are a great teen angst band.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Many "teen angst bands/groups" are great listens.
I'm criticizing (this is a music discussion board after all) this notion that the Death Grips are this revolutionary outfit that releases nothing but 10s and we'll all look back in 20 years at how groundbreaking and influential they were. I don't buy it because what they're doing speaks to a specific mindset and age demographic (the whole angst, aggression, paranoia, "dark" aesthetic of their work) that just isn't appealing nor interesting to indulge in after you've grown out of that mentality. It really is music for kids (again, that doesn't mean it's "bad.")
That's not to say the Death Grips aren't highly fun to play at loud volume and move some air with your speakers, like good punk or rock, but I don't see much staying power for them with regard to their content. The Sex Pistols were once the most frightening group on the planet. Many years later, reviewers were referring to them as cartoons. Today John Lydon is more celebrated for his work with Public Image Ltd than his work with the Pistols.
Still doesn't mean the Pistols aren't great to listen to, but their content (lyrics, nihilistic attitude, etc) doesn't "hold up".
I see the same future for the Death Grips.
>>54496882
>And that's why Jenny ends with Death Grips 2.0. It's a new era.
That's why they said in their "breakup" note that "Death Grips is finished."
Yeah, Death Grips is done. Death Grips 2.0 is about to begin.
>>54501454
I'd say Death Grips is more PiL than Sex Pistols
>>54501454
I encourage your posts. I really do like Death Grips, but fuck, there's been so much circle jerking over them for a while now, it's nice to see someone with opposing opinions.
>>54501454
You don't realize that people have been saying that Death Grips is just a phase / flavor-of-the-month-deal since Exmilitary came out back in 2011
yet here we are
>>54501790
>Death Grips is just a phase / flavor-of-the-month-deal since Exmilitary came out back in 2011
Well, that makes little sense to me since you can't really determine if a band is a trend or not after 1 album.
That determination really only comes after a decade or more.

The Deegees have released more music in <5 years than most bands do in a decade. I think the time argument is horseshit.
Wanna know another band who released music quickly in a short time of span and was influential? The Beatles, the most influential artist or band in literally centuries, possibly in the history of our species.
