Bottomless Pit.
Fpbp
Sauce?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MEE
Snitch has both higher highs and lower lows.
year of the snitch is so good man holy shit
STEROIDS
There's nothing to debate since they're both shit. In fact all of DG is shit for pasty white teenagers.
>confusing an opinion on people for an opinion on music
There's no confusion. DG and its fans are both shit.
Any opinion you have on music is made meaningless when you associate it with people you like or don't like. Music consumers preoccupied with who else enjoys it aren't actually listening to the music at all, so they have nothing specific to say about whether it achieves its aims or how it could be improved.
Oh, I understand. You're upset that you're a pasty white DG fan. Makes sense now. You along with everyone else who likes DG needs to be gassed for the good of the entire world.
I will enjoy Death Grips and you will keep seething
I'd say you'll grow out of it but the brain damage is permanent which is why you're a fan to begin with.
seeth
>for pasty white teenagers
true
>shit
false
as much as i love the sound of yots and how perfectly it flows as a full album bp slightly edges it out. it has one of the most enjoyable Side Bs of any record.
GBPGI > DGIO
Hot Head > Flies
Spikes > Black Paint
Linda's in Custody > Warping
Eh > The Horn Section
Hahaha > Bubbles Buried in This Jungle
Shitshow > Trash
Streaky > Houdini
BB Poison > Dilemma
Three Bedrooms > Little Richard
The Fear > Ring a Bell
80808 > Outro
Disappointed > Bottomless Pit
as an album I like YOTS way more than BP, BP has bangers but it doesn't really come together in a particularly memorable or strong way. I love the flow of yots, I love the instrumental interludes like The Horn Section and Outro, even Shitshow if you can count it which is such a unique and fun track.
BP-7
YOTS-8
Bottomless Pit: changed the whole fucking game
Year of the Snitch: changed the whole fucking game, AGAIN
Yep, Death Grips rules.
increase YOTS' volume by +3db and magically it stops sounding like shit
BP for sure
i need to relisted to yots but for now it's bottomless without a doubt. maybe i was to dumb and pleb at the time (even doe i been noided since exmilitary) but i've only listened to yots a few times since it came out and i always think it sucks. in fact i even tried to fix "disappointed" even doe the whole point of the song is that it's a troll on oldfag dg fans. anwayws, here's my attempt from five years ago to "fix" disappointed and make it a proper dg beat

i'm drunk, ignore the typos
not good.
>here's my attempt from five years ago to "fix" disappointed
well done you took one of the most frenetic and unpredictable DG songs and made it slow/safe
Eww what the fuck is this trash. You ruined the song
YOTS is the best DG album and the one I listen the most. I actually can’t remember the last time I listened to any DG that is not YOTS, Steroids or NOTM
YOTS has is a beautiful mix of everything Death Grips has done over their career. The lofi atmosphere makes every track feel as grimy and dark as the cover art suggests and helps every track perfectly flow from one to another dispite the many genres it goes through. The album also works as a commentary on the legacy of the band and the effect it's had on it's listeners, explaining the constant self sampling. Yet the record doesn't take itself too seriously, it's very absurd never taking itself too seriously, hence why there is a "horn section" that's a drum solo. They made what they wanted to make, fuck the fans.
In comparison Bottomless Pit is exactly what fans wanted. Many say it's a successor to The Money Store but I'd say its a successor to the reception of TMS. That is by far DG's most popular album for it's aggressive electronic beats and insanely catchy hooks. BP feels like TMS without the soul. Everyone wanted them to make more of these kinds of songs after experimenting more and more for each following album to less popularity. I don't think BP's a bad album (Spikes and BB Poison are amazing) but it's missing the soul, like they played it safe. Very intentionally so as they put "very shallow listening" on vinyls for the record, but I want the freedom of expression that YOTS has.
TLDR: BP is the album their fans wanted them to make while YOTS is the album they wanted to make. I'm tired of typing.
Most based Death Grips enjoyers
That's a sick sample.
>hence why there is a "horn section" that's a drum solo
Zach Hill has previously said that he plays drums more like a guitarist or horn player than he does as a drummer.
I fucking love The Horn Section, its such a great interlude, Linda > Horn > Hahaha is such a memorable streak of tracks for me.
All I know is I will love every song they play live this year. Also bottomless is the correct choice.
Horn section isnt that spectacular.
TITTY FUCK?
or
MULTIPLE GIRL BLOW JOB
?
THE GREAT DEBATE
Snitch it's the only album they've made that I like in its entirety
YOTS is their best album.
listening to Beyond Alive rn and this fits perfectly
Year Of The Snitch. That said, NOTM is better than both
Bottomless pit is unironically the most influential album of the 2010s
That would be The Money Store.
What is the worst dg record?
It's either NLDW or bottomless pit for me.
>worst dg record
>NLDW
quite possibly the greatest filtering in LULZ history ... holy shit, what an absolute earlet LMAOOOOOO
if you guys haven't listened to the instrumental version of Shitshow I would recommend you do.
a lot details was lost in the poor mixing, the instrumental version is actually better than the one with vocals, all the screams and shrieking is fucking great.
The entirety of YOTS sounds enhanced as an instrumental album.
Streaky slaps
Streaky with the super polished hi-fi production of BP would have been such a god tier track, tbh. It's still good but the lo-fi sound of it doesn't fit it as well as it does the other yots tracks
Funnily enough I think that's the most hi-fi track of the album.
Death Grips is Online edges it out, but yeah Streaky is probably 2nd place.
I love the lofi sound of yots, especially on tracks like The Fear, Disappointed, Linda's in Custody and Hahaha, I feel like these tracks almost sound better the shittier your speakers are, like no bass, tinny garbage and these songs still sound sick. Feels like that was by design.
the guitars in the chorus of Hahaha sounds fucking amazing as lofi honestly
it’s a 10th anniversary thing for gp which is pretty awesome still. glad they don’t just pretend it doesn’t exist. also got a feeling that means they’re gonna be repressing it later this year.
would have said bottomless pit a few years ago but I think it becomes more tiresome faster than YOTS
FUCK IS THAT, A HAIRSTYLE?
THIS ASSHOLE BE AT PUSSY CHURCH, FIRST
Steroids
don't really care for either. death grips lost their touch (IMO) with Jenny Death. I just don't like the style thereafter, especially adding guitars
>I just don't like the style thereafter, especially adding guitars
How much further could they go with the electronic apocalypse sound they had cultivated on GOVERNMENT PLATES and NIGGAS ON THE MOON? (oh yeah ... ... ... STEROIDS)
I think the addition of a new –– dare I say "nu" –– sound palette on JENNY DEATH freshened things up a bit. Besides, you've gotta admit that 2015 was peak Death Grips either way. That time being a fan was a fucking rollercoaster. Who's bringing it like that in 2023? Machine Girl? The Garden? Please.
Does anyone know why this youtube version of Hot Head doesn't have the bassline?
Seems strange to me to have 2 different versions of the song and I have not read any comments about this even tho it is pretty glaring to me. Are DG fans musically oblivious or am I just going crazy?
it's well known, the original release has no bassline but when they released the album it had a bassline.
this is high up on the death grips deep lore ice berg
Interesting, thanks. Surprised they ever thought no bassline was a good idea, song sounds so hollow and unfinished without it. With it it's a modern masterpiece however.
for me its the opposite, I listened to the single of Hot Head so much that the bassline ruins the song for me, it sounds goofy with it.
Hot Head is probably one of their greatest tracks. It's such an odd fit on Bottomless Pit.
I just love the chorus. Knew right away it was one of the best tracks I ever heard. DG somehow just make the most extraordinary hooks that surprise you with how soulful, innovative and catchy they are.
I also absolutely love the crazy drumming by Zach on it, and the fact that they're live drums too. It sounds so good, his style as a drummer comes through so well on this track. I think he has a lot of restraint in general with Death Grips as far as his role as a drummer goes, at least on the studio tracks, so its really fun to hear a studio song where he just goes all in.
Another drummer highlight track is Voila, its great in a completely different way from Hot Head, it's such a layered track when it comes to percussion, probably the closest Death Grips has ever gotten to math rock. Really highlights the production techniques of notm, that track is all percussion but the way it is textured, the way beats flow into one another and play over each other is crazy impressive, not to mention the fact that its in multiple time signatures as well.
This. The sparseness of the single version makes it way more claustrophobic and threatening, album version is cluttered with extra sounds and effects that add nothing.
fuck they just tweeted and my heart stopped for a second, I legitimately thought it was an album announcement but its just more tour dates.
holy ffffFFFFUCKING [email protected]*#(inf THEY TWEETED. DEATH GRIPS TWEETED!!!! DEATH GRIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
imagine the inner monologue
Biggest Death Grip fan on this board. Still cannot get into Year of the Snitch.
Steroids was a 10/10 though.
BP has some very strong moments but overall just takes me back to the mid '10s when the haters used to namedrop artists who sound like Death Grips. In BP's case they would be right. It's not entirely unique.
YOTS on the other hand has some of their most impressive work as musicians and is undeniably unique. Nothing else sounds like DGIO, Hahaha or The Fear for instance. Nothing. Plus it all impressively flows together very well.
>Nothing else sounds like DGIO, Hahaha or The Fear for instance. Nothing.
I mean ... you have to inspire love in prospective musicians in order to be "influential" on them.
Such a mid album lmao. And coming off the masterpiece that was STEROIDS? Shame on them.
Don't be a mindless hater if you can appreciate this band to begin with you can appreciate when they try to do something shoegazey or jazzy.
>Don't be a mindless hater
I'm not. I'll always hold a candle for all things Death Grips 2011-2015 ... but YOTS is when they started buying into the meme a little *too* hard. It started to get annoying.
Musical spam.
If it were spam they wouldn't have stopped right after it.
we know trash
i'd argue they started getting self referential with bp
>bb poison hot head and "very shallow listening"
>i'd argue they started getting self referential with bp
You make an astute point ... I guess I let BP slide (but not *too* much; it was no JENNY DEATH and it definitely not on the level of a NLDW).
BOTTOMLESS PIT had a clutch of tunes to back itself up. YOTS has ... what ... "Streaky"? Please. It's over.
The Fear is better than anything on BP.
>I FEEL SO SICK TODAY
>that tonal switchup in the second verse
might just be Ride's best moment paired with the instrumental
YOTS because death grips is online kinda sounds like a shoegaze song
its such a fun track, first time I heard it it made me think of trance and the 90s
yots is great
anyone who doesn't think The Fear is one of their masterpieces is so fucking dumb dude
you retards must look for the real shit.
based, I love that one two
TPTB and TMS are my favourites
True, The Powers That B might be my favorite album of all time. Coming to terms with what's out of control in life and dealing with the hand you were dealt with is some real shit. The first half perfectly displays how confused illogical self conscious beings we are on the inside and the second shows the reactionary egotistical arrogant creatures we are on the outside. The two sound completely different from each other but combined they somehow improve the other. On top of all that every track is catchy as fuck.
Exmilitary is their only good album
