Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? What did you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh?
Y'all don't know this is my opinion.
I know it's your opinion enthuny
rj grandel Cal?
I don't get what everyone's so butthurt about. A 9 is still a great rating.
TPAB and TPTB are two excellent, but totally different records, and I think Anthony judges them based on that fact.
It feels like you didn't even want to give it a 9, but knew that /mu/ would have an absolute shitstorm if it was ranked anything under that.
Anthony told me he used text-to-speech for this title
bet he got his wife to type it

Nah I'm joking with you Deathony Griptano, I enjoyed your review.
The Powers that B is my new favorite Grips song now though.
Review Earl Sweatshirt next pls bb.
Maybe if MC Ride would have cried about how hard it is to be a black man, made a cuckholding song, or some BOO BOO bullshit you would have given it a 10.
BUT YOUR OPINIONS ARE DIFFERENT THAN MINE. THAT MEANS YOU MUST BE WRONG
Y'all are acting like 9/10 is a bad score... it's a "top 10 of the year" score...

Been a great week for music, both Jenny Death and To Pimp A Butterfly were outstanding albums.
Thank you for this comment
Kevin Hanson
Seriously. Nice to someone just be positive about all the great music coming out
LBP15 Gonna hopefully continue the trend with albums like Run The Jewels 3 in development. Music is great at the moment if you ignore the radio and charts, I don't see why people are complaining that this wasn't given a 10. A 9 is very high score by Anthony's standards, its the second highest scoring death grips review. Both albums are great there's no point in a comparison.
kanye and radiohead are supposed to drop new LPs too !
how many keepin up on that new Shlum too

Watching these Death Grips reviews in sequence is a Apocalypse Now-esque journey into man's psyche, and in particular in regards to one man, and the loss of his sanity.
Fortunately, Cal says it's a 10. That's the only opinion that matters.
Joke aside, I thought Death Grips 2.0 sounded like something that would play during the credits of a movie, and then it made me appreciate it and understand it a lot more.

2. Bottomless Pit (decent to strong 9/10)
3. The Powers That B (light to decent 9/10)

I agree but switch No love and the powers that b
He is so wrong about Government Plates lol
Haha, agreed. It's not even in my top 5 but I think it's atleast an 8/10 if I had to score it. But hey, if he doesn't like it, that's fine
Also niggas on the moon is a 10/10 and one of the the greatest music achievements of the decade :eyes:
NLDW never gets enough appreciation. Imo its better than the money store
The lead singer sounds like a methed up, angry patrick star
Mm yeah

It's painful to think about!
Fuck you
You know, in literally every review Anthony has put out, the description has included the sentence "Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?" Also, every rating he's ever given has been preceded by "I'm feeling..." He's just telling us what he thinks. If he feels that TPAB was better than this, there is no objective standard to hold this opinion to an say "Well, he's wrong." He has never claimed to be some kind of unbiased gauge of quality; he's just a guy who loves music, and can very eloquently articulate his reasons for loving-and not loving--specific pieces of music. That's all any critic can claim to be, it's all they have to be, and it's all we should take them as. Getting angry because he gave an album a score slightly--SLIGHTLY--less than what you would have given it is no reason whatsoever to be angry with him.
Man this is obvious. These people are just wasting their lifes to write stupid comments.There is no need to write what you wrote. Salute.
Michał S
There SHOULD be no need to write what I wrote. But much of the internet still seems to be fuzzy on the idea that opinions are subjective, so I felt I should say something. At ease.
Well I'm usually full of that feeling when I read comments under "RUclips popular videos", but then I just think twice and realise that I will waste my time.
Every video but Big Sean's Nono album.
Who gives a shit? His opinion is objectively wrong, and he's spilling it all over the internet as if it were right instead of WRONG.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD
"Up My Sleeves" might be my favorite Death Grips song. The lyrics came across to me as immature on the first few listens, but now I consider them MC Ride at one of his most vulnerable moments, and probably are the best Death Grips lyrics. The lines about his dead mother are shattering. What at first may seem like odd, disjointed change ups turned to an ugly yet beautiful arrangement of music. Then for the song to be followed by "Billy Not Really" and "Black Quarterback", two of Death Grips better tracks, proves NOTM needs more recognition.
Haven't given Jenny Death enough time yet to really get a feel for it, but I think NOTM is one of Death Grips's best and could use some more love.
How did you like Jenny Death after a few playthroughs?
Absolutely it needs more recognition NOTM could easily be the best produced album ever, it sounds decades ahead from everything else

Beyond Alive through On Gp is like a trilogy of greatness and I think a fantastic finish for the record. I think you should revisit the last minute of beyond alive because it's probably one of the most memorable Death Grips moments.
if death grips was an all black group you would have given it a 10

Months ago I thought death grips was fucking garbage and unlistenable. nowadays, I find myself wondering if Jenny Death is the greatest piece of music ever conceived. Damn.
If only eveyone had your perseverance
same
How i listened to this album twice and i dont see it being higher than a 7/10 in terms of enjoyability, as a whole this project feels a bit bloated, and I only enjoy half of the songs. Up my sleeves and on GP are amazing songs though. How did you get into them?
@@sinaklsindre2831 pretty much every song is perfectly produced and performed imo. 10/10. is this ur first dg? cause i can understand not digging most of it if it is. this is like their least accessible cause theres so much shit going on
I agree with the majority of this and I gave it a 9 (as a whole) myself. But I don't think the guitar on centuries of damn hurt the track or album. I think without it there could be a discontinuity within the flow of the album since a lot of it had the guitar in it already?
I'm surprised you didn't like Black quarterback. That's a wonderful song in my opinion. Pretty psychedelic with different sounds and samples coming at both ears being panned
I'm grateful for this review, I've been unsure for entire week whether I enjoy this album or not.
I love the juxtaposition between the two albums from a literal standpoint, however sonically I can't listen to them together, two completely different vibes. NOTM being so cryptic and JD being more direct/esoteric (Not as direct as Exmillitary but still)
On GP was the most poetic I've heard DG yet
Surprised you didn't call out the fact that it was the first time they've ever mentioned Stefan's name in a song.
Centuries of Damn is an amazing song imo. One of my top 3 from the powers that b.

GINNY DEBT 10EN!!
Is it just me, or was "Centuries of Damn" skipped on this video?
That's actually my favorite track on the album, second to only "Why A Bitch Gotta Lie?"
For me, the droning, almost croaking desperate riffs played on that guitar are the most memorable. Easily the most emotional track on this entire album, in my opinion. Loved the album, but that song is just cries with emotions in almost a sorrowful way, which contrasts from everything else, as everything else is just so shamelessly aggressive. It has such a desperate feel to it, like the end is near (which it kind of is since it's the second to last track).
I would love to hear what you thought of it.
Not my absolute favorite track, but other than that I wholeheartedly agree. The guitar is just stunning, crank up the volume and the guitar will give you shills any day of the week.
For the very first time, I didn't look into the description until I watched the whole video

I hope Death Grips continues to make music, this was a great way for finish their career, although something tells me they will make more music in the future
I'm so glad you reviewed this! Jenny Death was my favorite album of all time besides Bangarang by Skrillex.
both are great dubstep artists though.
If this is a shitpost, congratulations. If not, I am disappointed.
Best shitpost ever
This is hands down the funniest thing I've read all week
andtony was waiting his whole life to type that title
fantano still scared to say nigga lol.
blehhh it's called respect.
Are you seriously making fun of someone for not saying it?
blehhh It's not respect or "scared" or any shit like that.
The bottom line is, Anthony is a white male and if he says that, he could be penalized by youtube, which is (I assume) his main source of income.
Not worth it
***** would flatlander and zach be culturally insensitive racists if they were to mention the album title in an interview?
does context mean nothing to you people
???
He said it in an interview off youtube I believe. He's probably afraid because it is on youtube.
I didn't enjoy Beyond Alive and Centuries of Damn for a long time but now they might be my favourite Death Grips tracks.
Great review Anthony. I have very similar feelings about this double album. Maybe I'm not very big fan of Death Grips (and completely not a fan of a hip-hop genre), but I must say that I don't really like their guitar sounds, the only tracks with this instrument that I enjoy are "On GP" and "I want it I need it" from Exmilitary. I love their electronic creations more than these made on classic instuments and this is why NLDW is my favorite album of the trio. Of course I can't imagine seeing them live without Zach drumming, but still prefer synthetic beats on the albums. Assuming I must say that I fell in love with "PSS PSS" and "Inanimate sensation" as well as "The Powers That B". "On GP" is also very special because of its difference, but the rest of song are just not catchy enough for me, I find some of them even too noisy (no I'm not 40 years old). If someone told me to give Jenny a grade it would be probably 7 or 7,5. Tomorrow they will announce tour dates so I hope I will have a chance to see them for the first time live :3. Greetings from Poland etc.
Whatching Cal get mad and hit the door Kills Me every time.
How any person could have an affinity for Death Grips and consider Black Quarterback their least favorite on the album is beyond me. I understand opinions, but now know it's possible for an opinion on music to be objectively wrong.
Long live Darth Grapes.

The damn melonhead fool.
Really enjoyed this review. I like that you mentioned these albums could have been paired with one another to highlight to differences on each release. That is how I read it, and I think it has worked for DG very well. This double album almost feels like DG giving the listener an insight into the two massively different realms of music they draw their influence from, Bjork and cluttered electro being representative of one, the other being the washed out punk noise we hear on Jenny Death. This album is the best thing DG have done since The Money Store imo, and I think the inclusion of Death Grips 2.0 on the end of the album is suggesting that there will be more Death Grips music in the future, and it will sound like neither of the Powers That B records. Best tracks on here were Turned Off, Powers That B and On GP.
Review the new Earl album Anthony, it's much more interesting than Doris was and has a sick Wiki feature on it!
This album is a 10. That’s all I have to say.
Jenny Death is, the middle of NOTM let's it down
@@deven9565 I’m irritated by this.
Got to see these guys live in Tempe, Arizona a few weeks ago..... Holy shit. The way you described your live show experience is exactly how mine went. Mosh pit galore. Never sweated so much in my life. Jenny Death is definitely my favorite DG album. Thank you for reviewing it!

TEN OUT OF TEN, REVIEW IT AGAIN
TEN OUT OF TEN, REVIEW IT AGAIN
Coming back to this real late, maybe I'm saying something that's been said before, not gonna check to find out. It was played as a joke but I'm wondering if maybe Cal's assertion of "GINNY DEBT 10EN" might actually be Anthony's feelings of Jenny Death as a standalone, but wasn't going to give it an isolated score, and NOTM being weaker brings the overall score down to the overall 9.
I just noticed "psychedelic sound terrorism" 😂
The way they create this hype is so crazy, and they get away with being crazy because they are so inventive. Like the money store. "Idk why this slaps but it does"
Anthony! You should review J Dilla - Donuts for Classic Week! I'm listening to the VMP vinyl right now, it's fantastic :D
9/10 is far, but that makes TPAB closer to a 7 or 8.
Nope
Alex TPAB 10 ya'll deal with it.
If it were your review, yah.
This guy actually compared imsuperdarkandexperimentalvglumvtumblr death grips to Kendrick Lamar. L. M. F. A. O.
This is my first death grips album I actually like straight away
good points on this review my dude! keep up the good work
This album was nearly perfect and Black Quarterback was one of my favorite tracks, but to each their own.
Only death grips fans have the audacity of complaining about a 9 lmao
Whatever he gives it isn't going to affect my opinion but I'm just so sick of how hard he tries to maintain this image of being 'discerning' when he doesn't need to try at all. Like, I just wanna hear an honest review from him on this album, that's why I dig the needledrop cause it's just a man, a camera and a love for music even if I barely ever agree with him. It just comes off so contrived sometimes.
His tweet about 10s not being candy just sounds like "I gave a ten out a week ago so I can't do it again". I mean he might not think TPTB is a 10, which is a-ok, but that tweet to me implies that even he did, he wouldn't give it a 10. He's already said that if two albums get the same score it doesn't mean they're comparable and that his system doesn't work equally for every artist after the backlash over Michael Cera's album so I don't see why it matters tbh. Still, could be bluffing & I could be totally misreading the tweet. Tbh I don't really care if he digs it or not just that he has some thoughtful and intelligent points that are honest.
HybridJEX i see you browse r/deathgrips too
MF MEME what is a /r/deathgrips?
Incessant bitching from newer viewers, so he tends to respond by clarifying how he rates albums. Not sure why he still humors it though. Been getting flack for giving MBDTF a 6/10 years ago
You're reading way too into it, the implication was that 10s are very difficult to get. Take off the tinfoil hat =P
You kind of brushed them off but I thought On GP and Centuries of Damn were the best-executed, most unique tracks of this album in both sound/structure. They truly hinge on rock influence more than anything. Not to say they the best tracks, but they do represent this album the best I feel.
Hilarious intro with Cal! Your commentary on the requests is gold.
THIS TEN AINT FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
For some reason, I feel like death grips 2.0 is suppose to lead into bottomless pit and make it a triple album
White Supremacist Hate Symbol that's dumb
Hazmidl3trik //- true
they were at paris now their at the moon? unbelievable
I'd say 9/10 is more than fair. NOTM is an 8/10 to me and Jenny is a 10/10 (fav release by them so far, subject to change of course) so that averages out to a 9/10. Even if they don't release more, this is a strong closer.
I do think we'll get another album, just not for a few years.
Tour announcement is tomorrow, tickets on sale the 27th
I open an incognito tab to turn off my adblock just for you, Anthony. Thanks for the great reviews over the years!
