holy shit how is every song awesome
>>128709040Man, I remember when I heard Exm and TMS for the first time. Slammed so hard that day
>>128709040>Reddit Grips
>>128709040for me, it's hacker
what is this
>>128709040Is this really your first time hearing Death Grips?
>>128709375Easily one of their best songs. What are we expecting from the new album bros? Will they dial back the insanity now that their meth dealer has officially left the band?
>>128709040>that trans guyfaggot grips artwork
get got is the only good song on the albumchange my mind
>>128709040Death Grips fucking sucks
>>128709040Fake tough guys
You only like this because Fantano told you to
>>128709415Yes I admit I am a newbie
>>128712524Erm actually I listened to it because of flesh simulator
>>128710998Grateful I don't know what it's like to be this braindeadLike this isn't even mid tasteThis is just "I can't listen past one track of an album"You are the reason I support food stamps
>>128712524you weren't there, although it took me years for it to click.
>>128709534nothing, everything new sucks
I was a regular on this board when this released but i never listened to it. There was too much else going on
>>128709040>white women i charge of being normal
Voila is the craziest track they've ever done and maybe the only time they went math rock, unless you count Death Classic which was just using an old Xach Hill track for its instrumental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlJ_pjwBYxYI can listen to this track a million times, it never gets old. Such a strange, alien track
>>128709351kek based
>>128709534>What are we expecting from the new album bros?I want something new, something that takes a bit of time to gestate, I want to be surprised and not be sure what to think of it at first. I don't want to listen to it and just immediately feel like "yupp, that's more death grips" I hope they get wild
i used to give a dick about them, like several dicks. not anymore. i simply dont give a d*mn.
TMS is probably my least favorite by them, that or Bottomless Pit. IDK they're both explosive and catchy, but sacrifice a lot of replay value to get there. I like their more technical and dense music overall, the albums where you really gotta chew thru them to get to good stuff. ExMil, NLDW, GP, NOTM, CTHGM, YOTS are all better imo.
>>128722754i agree with tms having little replay value but bottomless pit is just fire, probably their best.
>>128709534I'd like to hear all the same crazy energy, but with more beautiful, ambient melodies.
>>128721008I hope so too, I mean they've pretty much done that each album so far. I guess you could argue Bottomless Pit wasn't as out there as the rest of their work in terms of innovation but it was still great
>>128712524you only hate it because /mu/ told you to
>>128719881Been into Death Grips for a decade but I think this is the first time I'm listening to niggas on the moon. Didn't have it in my library at least. Thanks for the rec, Voila was great.A few years back I was listening to Eh nonstop. That was the last time I was listening to DG lots.
>>128709534the new album cover is going to be the band members having sex
>>128709040I miss my "Death Grips is fucking epic" era but I only listened this one and Exmilitary, never bothered with their next albums because I feel they smelled their own farts
>>128724195>Been into Death Grips for a decade but I think this is the first time I'm listening to niggas on the moon.NOTM is disc 1 (tracks 1-8) of The Powers That B album.
>>128709817it represents baphomet
>>128709534andy was the best member of the band
>>128709375
>>128725365Your intuition was right
I've outgrown them and haven't listened for years now but there were some fun times riding the DG hype train 2011-2016The anticipation in between NotM and Jenny Death was unlike anything I've seen on /mu/
>>128725365Nah, they were all great.
>>128726433Guy on the right
>>128726816that's a woman
2012 /mu/ was so comfy
>>128709817>>128726433>>128726816>>128726829The cover art is based on an image of two kinky gays and deliberately gender-bends the characters to increase the sense that they are queer outsiders to society. Political tourists on /mu/ are over a decade late to discovering what Death Grips openly explained.>The album art, above, is a "subtly modified" version of an illustration that originally appeared in a zine by the Chicago-based artist Sua Yoo. Death Grips explain:>"On the cover you have an androgynous masochist on the leash of a feminist sadist who's smoking. The sadist has carved Death Grips into her bitch's chest. There is an overly confident quality to the woman smoking and a calmness to the androgynous masochist.">The group wanted a cover with "the same progressive and edge ideology" that inspires their music, with hopes of representing their "views on sexuality and modern society." They elaborated:>"We consider ourselves feminists, we fiercely support homosexuality, transparent world leadership, and the idea of embracing yourself as an individual in any shape or form. Acceleration is a mantra, we're not a political band, we are freaks and outsiders. It was important to project that message and energy through the artwork of this album. This is free thinking and eternally open-ended music… [The cover] is like an ambassador to the sound."https://pitchfork.com/news/45832-death-grips-share-nsfw-album-cover-tracklist/
>>128709040I still remember the day that album finally clicked, i'm not ashamed to say that the money store finally got me into music beyond listening to just a single genre I convinced myself I liked.
>>128725670For some reason I had Jenny Death in my library, but never niggas on the moon. Odd I even have Jenny Death named as the Powers That B on my computer, so it might be I glossed over pt. 1 on account of that.
reddit tier album gp is a plebfilter this is debatable
>>128709040Unironically one of the best albums ever made
>>128709040This but niggas on the moon
>>128709040Music nerds began worshipping rap after this record.
CULTURE SHOCK FUCK YOURSELF, FUCK YOURSELF.

>>128709351That’s JPEGMAFIA
>>128729792They say JPEGMAFIA doesnt mind being PeggedEspecially by college age white boisTheres a reason they are all white at his shows
>don't visit /mu/ in 10 years>have a quick look see what pretty are discussing >literally nothing has changed
I remember being a depressed dead-broke college debt slave riding the bus home from work every night and listening to Exmil and Money store. It was like opium. Over a decade later I can't get back into it, just a schlub, married, home owning father of 2. Some music has mirror like qualities and if you can't find yourself in it, it won't click
>>128730157death grips more or less consumed my life back when I first discovered them back in 2013, I became obsessed with their music, it kind of opened my eyes to alternative more experimental art across all media. Everything prior to discovering them had felt like me always picking safe stuff, comforting shit and not really challenging myself but with Death Grips it was like I was but repulsed and drawn in by their music at the same time, not being able to look away. That period of warming up to a handful of tracks to the music in general starting to click and make sense is one of the most rewarding musical experiences I've ever had. It is because of Death Grips I have the patience to listen to unconventional stuff. 12 years later and I still love them, but obviously not as fervently. It doesn't consume my life like it used to, but the day drop their next album, I'll probably go a week straight listening to it.
I recently started listening to death grips again after maybe 8 years of not listening to them and I'm enjoying it

>>128731662BASED yots enjoyer
>>128712621you have no mind of own. your slice of life is controlled by internet algorithms pushing various flavors of programmed degeneration.fight, goddamnit
>>128731662Fuck yes YotS and Steroid have stood the test of time for me more so than anything out of their discography
>>128731662yots isn't my favorite but it is my favorite album coveralso the fear is a top 5 track of theirs, I love the lofi cursed aesthetic the album has going for it, a nice contrast against BP which is the dead opposite.
Hot Head is legitimately one of their greatest songs
I think it's funny that David Bowie liked them. I think it's funnier that Greg Gutfeld likes them (which is how I first heard about 100 gecs, oddly enough).
>>128731662>tfw just copped YOTS on vinylEasily the most underrated DG project. Leans more into the hip-hop elements (especially with the prevalence of vinyl scratching) without sacrificing their radical experimentalism and genre-mashing, Death Grips doing their own spin on krautrock was not something I was expecting
>>128712621That is much worse.
I don't get it when people say their music didn't age well.Everything they were about thematically is even more applicable today than it was when they came out.The Money Store is the perfect soundtrack to walking around a city during the day and No Love Deep Web is perfect for doing it at night.
>>128709040I am their number one fan and that’s not true.
