What's /mu/'s opinion on the best Grips album?

>>73542107
yeah The Money Store is one of my favorites too

death grips is fucking trash

>>73542107
Exmilitary is a near-perfect album. I dislike Spread Eagle Cross The Block a little bit but the rest of it more than makes up for the experience. All in all one of those rare gems that appears out of nowhere.

>>73542107
It's alright. I don't like a few songs. Spikes has my favorite hook though. Money Store is still my favorite.

>>73542107

Yeah the money store is sick

No Love Deep Web

>>73542297
For me No Love Deep Web is their most ok album

Jenny Death is the only Death Grips album that has more than a song or two I like on it.

Government Plates though!

>>73542107
utterly god tier, like everything else they've done

>>73542333
>more than a song or two

Um...

They don't have a best. They just have moods and creative sessions in which they consistently adjust, improve and evolve in some tangible way.

Up My Sleeves is their best song. I would say Government Plates is their cleanest project.

Objectively The Powers That B

>>73542396
Up my sleeves is a great opener but imo not their best song

>>73542221
Exmilitary isn't what I would consider their best, but it's probably what I've listened to most from them. It's just 50 mins of hype.

>>73542356
>ebin. simply ebin.

>>73542424
What would you call their best song

>>73542504
Hacker or Beware imo

>>73542424
>>73542396
My favorite part of death grips fans is no one agrees what is best. Testament to their quality.

>>73542559
I cant agree more with this

>>73542557
Guillotine, Klink, SECTB, and Culture Shock are better than Beware

>>73542577
Those are all great songs but beware for me is more iconic and epic

>>73542619
Beware does kind of inform every Death Grips song after it, doesn't it? Maybe it has a bit to do with opening the band's entire discography with a Charles Manson sample.

>>73542221

Shit is mine! It's all mine!

Niggas on the Moon? It's great!

>>73542559
same with kanye except kanye isn't for pretentious tumblr hipsters

>>73542986
The Death Grips fans that are pretentious are the kids that read way too far into the lyrics and think reading them on genius.com is part of the experience

A good Death Grips listener knows that it's V E R Y SHALLOW LISTENING and loves it anyways

>>73542333
then your opinion is irrelevant sadly

>>73542107
pic related followed closely by exmil

>>73543031
reading comments on dg lyrics nearly turned me off of the band because of the stupid shit i saw

>>73543431
It's genuinely upsetting

TMS' best songs are better than BP's best songs but BP is better overall.

does no one like bottomless pit? Why? The mix/mastering is not an excuse every song is how it should sound and is excellent.

>>73543447
i feel like at this point theyre writing lyrics just to see what autistic theories 11th grade english class rejects come up with

>>73543031
except reading them on third worlds IS part of the experience.

The fact that you think it's shallow listening just shows you dont know how to appreciate anything that isn't trout mask replica or some shitty bowie album

the powers that b is their best album
[spoiler] No Love their best song [/spoiler]
prove me wrong mu

>>73544695
Both Whammy and World of Dogs are better and that's only out of songs on NLDW

>>73544739
Stockton is best song on nldw

>>73544745
There's absolutely nothing interesting about the instrumental on that song

Why is their best song this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cinJDxLUsNY

>>73545189
I fucking hate this song and JD, their worst project hands down

>>73545240
what's your FAVORITE project?

>>73543518
Agreed

>>73545189
That's not Hacker, Birds, PSS PSS or Come up and get me

I can't even decide my favorite death grips release desu. So many good albums

I separate them into 3 eras. I think the first was the best.

1st era
>Exmilitary
>The Money Store
>No Love Deep Web

2nd era
>Government Plates
>The Powers That B

3rd era
>Bottomless Pit
>Steroids and new shit

>>73542107
according to /mu/ Money Store>Jenny Death>NLDW>Bottomless Pit>Exmilitary>Niggas>>Gov Plates

>>73545666
nice roll

>>73543925
Turned off and death grips 2.0

>>73545666
I'd put NLDW into the 2nd era and name that the best but yeah
also checked

>>73545666
Death Trips

>>73545699
IMO:

Exmilitary > Jenny Death >> The Money Store > NLDW >> NotM > BP >>> Gov Plates

ExM, JD, TMS, and NLDW are all god-tier though.

I felt really indifferent to it for a long time. I listened to it twice and then gave up. But like nine months later I gave it another listen and realized just how fucking good it is. Every song features at least one moment that is just pure sexual bliss

>>73547177
there is no depth to it and the production is trash. when i listen to death grips i want everything to be loud and the loud parts to be louder. bottomless pit is complete monotony in that regard and doesn't do anything interesting

>>73545931
swap GP and TMS and its spot on

>>73542559
this so much

>>73542559
yeah, all of their albums are mediocre at their best

>>73547255
this guy hasn't actually listened to bp

production is supreme for the attitude and genre styling they were going for.

top songs: Ring a Bell, Warping, Bottomless Pit

only fags that think it doesnt have depoth is fags who stopped at hot head

>>73542504
Billy Not Really imo

followed by Come Up and Get Me, Up My Sleeves, and maybe No Love.
I don't think think No Love is on the same level as the other songs I mentioned, but it's the ultimate death grips track for me and I can always put it on and get hyped up.

I'm really hoping that they have some surprises for us with the next album, the trajectory they're going down is becoming real predictable and boring since Jenny Death. Steroids was pretty weak

>>73542107
Yeah I really like the hooks on TMS and the experimentation on NOTM

>>73546104
Thank you

>>73542107
The best songs on the album are: Warping, Ring a Bell and Three Bedrooms in a Good Neighborhood.

SECTB is a 10/10 song

>>73545830
>More than 2 songs I like

>>73545931
Jenny Death deserves an 8 desu but spot on otherwise.

Why does no one talk about the last track on Steroids? Easily one of their best tracks of all time.

>>73551415
Completely disagree. The only thing that was surprising about it was the fact that it dropped out of nowhere. Sure, it felt layered and complex the first time I sat through those 22 minutes, but already with the 3rd listen I felt like I had gotten everything out of that album that there is to get.

I've revisited it many, many more times past that and nothing has changed. It's the same thing as Bottomless Pit and Jenny Death, there's no meat to any of this shit. Overcompensating with fast beats, because there just isn't anything interesting going on in terms of song writing. There is such a world of difference to a release like Steroids and No Love Deep Web or niggas on the moon.

It feels a little bit like they took the speed of Hot Head and applied the straight forwardness of the other songs on Bottomless Pit, there's no bite, the sporadic and challenging beat of Hot Head is nowhere to be found here, those live drums that at first sounded completely unorganized and messy, but then you start picking up on patterns, none of that is here. It's just fast and loud, shows no restraint and since there's none it's very hard to find moments that stand out or leave any kind of impact.

Boring as hell. I hope the next album is something completely different.

>>73552716
I liked it a LOT at first but it began to wear on me.
The hook on it is fucking killer. That train sample makes me cringe every time though.
Bald Head Girl is my shit now and the highlight of Steroids for me.

>>73545666
By that logic NLDW is era 2 and TPTB would be era 3 and Bottomless Pit is era 4. And I even think Steroids is more closely o their older stuff due the production being not that clean

>>73552901
it'd be better if it was split up into tracks

Incorrect. And the fact that you call things "trash" is evidence that you are an alt-normie faggot who probably belongs on twitter.

>>73544681
Death Grips lyrics are generally nonsense. I would urge you not to learn English from them.

If their next album doesn't take a leap forward like GP and NOTM did, I may be done with the band, I'm getting bored of their latest material.

>>73548885

Why do you like Death Grips, /mu/?

>>73556919
they sound good to my ears
sorry

>>73556919
they have a unique sound. also they use the internet in a very interesting way. They literally are a meme, but they are extremely aware of that and they abuse it for their artistry.

>>73556919
because they want to be special bois with a special taste to go along with their special needs.

>>73544745
Stockton is the only dg song I can't stand. That cheesy ass Jacobs ladder sound effect is grating, and in general the instrumental goes nowhere. Also, Rides "whoop, whoop" is attention forcing in the worst way and the entire song feels like half baked filler garbage.

>>73557779

Vocals are just another sonic layer. When they're understandable, really good lyrics can add to the song but really bad ones can detract from them. Everything inbetween doesn't really matter. I've never understood why some people are so interested in understanding the exact words in a song.

>>73552901
I feel like Steroids is a sort of preemptive B-Sides.

Songs that they weren't 100% happy with, so they release them while they tweak the better songs that will end up on the new album.

none.

i'm pretty sure this sound is really new (even though the sound is just a mix of industrial and rock sounds)

allso nice trips

>>73543518
I disagree, they're different styles but consistency wise they're both quality. Although TMS' highlight tracks are more memorable I like BP as an album more cause I felt it was a good natural progression from everything they've done with elements from every album from Exmilitary to Jenny Death being used on the record.

>>73555729
>the word "trash" is only reserved for meme girls on twitter

>>73555470
AND NOW YOU'RE FUCKING WITH MOJO

I think exmilitary is their most influential album and thus best album. Although every DG album has had an impact on various genres, it would be hard to argue exmilitary didn't have the most people going 'oh shit' back in 11'. It has had the most visible impact on music today.

also: Known for It, Guillotine, Takyon, it goes on...

Popular Opinion: The Money Store
Pleb Opinion: Ex-Military
Patrician Opinion: No Love Deep Web (but Money Store is also pretty patrician)
Worst Album: Bottomless Pit or Jenny Death

Jenny Death has the best lyrics, Money Store has the best hooks, Bottomless Pit has the best production quality, NLDW has the best vocals, NOTM has the best instrumentals, Government Plates has the best atmosphere, Exmilitary has the best tone.

>>73566615
outside of On GP and some other song I can't even remember Jenny Death has quite cringeworthy lyrics
Bottomless Pit has the worst production quality among all the Death Grips albums, it's also their worst album
idk what's so special about his vocals on NLDW, he's just rapping and sometimes yelling like he usually does

>>73566615
I'd say NLDW has the best production/atmosphere and Exmilitary has the best lyrics

>>73566816

Exmilitaty's lyrics are kind of boring and tame compared to the weird abstraction and improved rhyming techniques of later DG stuff

A lot of it is just really loud and extreme versions of common rap tropes, with ride not yet able to flow well or really drop multidsyllabic rhymes regularly.

His lyrics are probably best from NLDW onward, they suddenly stopped being blocked by their edginess and started having really sincere and funny self-degradation like on Eh

>>73566880
I completely understand, and from that perspective I agree with you.
I just like it when he shouts "bitch" a lot

if you dislike Death Grips 2.0 you don't recognize beautiful closure

am i the only one who has "spikes" as his favorite song?

i dont know why, i just cant get enough of the "chorus" banging

anyone else think this particular song is great?

>>73566615
NLDW has the best lyrics. Other than that, I can get behind this.

>>73550465
This

If anything, the instrumental is the worst track

>>73542107
