the track starting at 11:39 is fantastic

In natural Death Grips fashion they haven't said if this is a actual a "Gabber Megamix" or if that's just part of the song title.

Getting some real DG 2.0 vibes from this too, if this is the future of death grips then hell yeah keep going further into the bizarre

Zach hill is the drummer

They had a dick on the cover of their album

I assume the album title will be Steroids. Pretty amped up and I dig the transitions, though whether they'll survive into an album cut is questionable.

This new EP is bad. The spastic beats are a recent development and they mostly sound like the same boring blare of noise.

But it should hopefully be pretty easy to understand the appeal of their earlier albums, Exmilitary, The Money Store. There are some very good beats, extremely catchy hooks, and ridiculous lyrics that are made even better by Ride's screaming them.

Only unless they do it in poorly described simile and metaphor

quote:

Death Grips is, in a nutshell, what your 85 year old grandmother from Arkansas hears whenever you put on your favorite rap album in the car. To her, it's loud, obnoxious, vulgar, and strange. That is what Death Grips is like, except Death Grips is also high on meth and attacking you with a box-cutter.

quote:

I think black husserl nailed it in the hip-hop thread when he said death grips sound like saul williams' niggy tardust from 2007, which is what i thought too when i first heard them a couple weeks ago. i like them though, and don't get how people don't consider it hip-hop.

quote:

Clearly the closest relative of Death Grips is Hip-Hop, but especially on tracks like "Guillotine", there's something else to it. It's not quite metal, it's... I think it's just anger. Pure anger.

quote:

Someone asked me why I liked Death Grips because "it sounds like someone gave a schizophrenic homeless man a microphone and played it over dialup tones" and I told them they answered their own question.

quote:

compared listening to Death Grips to joining a gang: you get beat up for the first few days, but once you're in, everything falls into place and becomes fine.

quote:

These guys are like watching a cat throw up and then proceed to eat its own vomit again. Take from that what you will.

quote:

I think of MC Ride walking through Naked Lunch, leading the Liberian Tupac Army through the interzone, gangsta as gently caress.

quote:

If I were to explain them to my past self, I would say it's more like Special Ed from Crank Yankers is shouting at you while some over some obnoxious blasts of noise, which should really be a negative

quote:

But yeah, this is like the best possible music to annoy your neighbors with. It's not something I can listen to all the time, but when I'm in the mood for it, man, it's real loving good. I have yet to drive to this with the windows down, but I have a feeling that would be a hilariously entertaining experience.

quote:

I once had to get a painful cyst lanced. I asked the doctor if he was cool w/ me playing my headphones loud while he lanced me, which he was cool with.
I played Death Grips (Lord of the Game) on blast and felt nothing.

As someone who just discovered the majesty of Death Grips last year, i'm very excited they might make new things.

I also kind of want to build a Death Grips Description twitter bot based on the posts from earlier in this thread
