CD edition of Death Grips second studio album "No Love Deep Web,"
J**G
Really dark lyrical imagery backed by odd, uncluttered, and hard beats.
The lyrics to this album are a violent cry for help. Nothing can help Ride relieve his problems. All he will do in the meantime is lyrically and physically destroy all that disgusts and is beneath him (almost everything he can see). Come, follow Ride through his mind, an abandoned building of isolation and torment. It's definitely full of sick, twisted imagery, but the speed, variety and intoxicating amount of it will please anyone who wants an extra high dose of sick, twisted imagery (it's a psyche burn in my brain). This man doesn't resort to pop culture references and instead references stuff I really should be learning in school (mythology, literature, and world events are his forte). If you listen you'll have a lot to think about up there.The melodies are so full sounding they charge in and ride around on a heavy cloud of synths and samples. All encompassing relentlessly repeating phrases which could annoy those who don't enjoy the textures as much as I do. The arrangements are very clear sounding (you can hear everything individually creating it's own unique space). All the drum sounds are apparently played live which is very impressive considering how stripped back they are.I find this album demands to be listened to more than once. It's an all encompassing whole that gets more coherent the more you understand each song. It finishes with a subtle but fantastic closer which by the end makes me feel like there's a whole in my heart. Deep Web is the only song I'm not behind, but up against all the other awesome tracks it doesn't matter. And what vinyl listener (not buyer) doesn't want a huge, blown up picture of Zach Hill's penis? Overall I love it!

Very Primal and a definite sound
I would recommend if this is your first time listening to death grips, listen to government plates, or the money store. This one is a real trip just like Exmilitary was, in a different electronic, minimal sense, not so much on the hard rock, industrious sound of Exmilitary. Stefan has a no holds barred attitude, and I like the fact that they're attitude towards what they we're feeling was so visceral and vitriolic. Very great listen, I will be playing this many times.Also, on a side note I wouldn't recommend to listen to this in a work environment, as well as the album art is NSFW.

One of my favorite albums of all time
A pioneer in the genre of experimental hip-hop. Over 45 minutes of dark minimalist beats with a urban aesthetic, backed by legendary drummer Zach Hill. Stefan Burnett provides his infamous brutal vocals, adding onto the grit of the project overall. Worth checking out if you haven't already.

Excellent record! I love the production on this album and this vinyl comes with a lyrics insert, and is packaged in a black cover with the real album artwork underneath. I get the full album cover as well as being able to display it in my collection with out a giant penis jumping out at you. Great purchase!
