And, have you heard Government Plates yet? If so, what did you think?
I was underwhelmed by No Love Deep Web personally, that's probably because The Money Store set the bar so high as opposed to there being anything necessarily wrong with the album itself. I remember Whammy being a top tune.

I like NLDW, but don't love it. Like you said, The Money Store is and probably always will be their crowning achievement. Personally, I think putting MC Ride's vocals and lyrics at the forefront of this album was a mistake. Though these things are a very important part of any Death Grips album, emphasizing his part of the group does make sloppy lyricism more damning to the work as a whole. This is ultimately where I think this album fails, as the instrumentals are as engaging as ever and I really like the album's mood.
As for Government Plates, I have not listened to it.
