were they right?
Were they right?
NOPE
Hell no
More or less. The people that look to this band for abstract, glitchy music make me cringe because even the guy that played guitar on Jenny Death does that shit better. Their "pop" albums are much more emotionally honest.
It's pretty much Reign in Blood of electronic/hip hop music, so obviously no
Should be a point and a half lower tbqh
They claimed Death Grips had done nothing new with NOTM which is absolute bullshit.
the review spends more time discussing their antics than the music. Hopefully NOTM receives the critical reception it so deserves in the future when people go back and reevaluate their discography
I remember reading it and thinking "what the fuck is this guy talking about?"
It doesn't matter if you hate them or not, this album is drastically different than everything they've done prior, and after learning it was all performed on v drums makes it even more enjoyable.
No it deserves lower.
