Death Grips

Thom Yorke · 10-03-2012, 07:20 PM

I liked it more the more I listened to it; I was a bit underwhelmed on first listen. Much more aggressive than The Money Store (I was wondering which direction they'd go), but that's not necessarily a good thing. TMS is still definitely my favourite album they've done, but I still thought this was solid, which was a relief after hearing the tracks they released in between. Another consistent effort, with no real weak links yet again.

MC Ride is actually Rick Ross' younger brother. The beard is in the family.

Oh, and I'm also liking the new album more and more.
Listening to "Artificial Death in the West" at the end of the album is like escaping a maze full of deadly traps and traumatic experiences where you fight to survive/kill yourself, only to find yourself lost in an endless, cold desert, realizing nothing was really worth it.

In a positive way.

Deep Web is where it's at. Stands toe to toe with the best of The Money Store.

Is the song supposed to sound exactly like this, or has the video itself added in extra audio. Pretty cool track either way.

The song itself sounds a little different. It works a lot better with this video though, as a standalone track it's kinda... Eh.

I agree, I found the track pretty boring and uninteresting, and, as I heard it before NO LOVE DEEP WEB came out, it lowered my expectations a bit for the new album.
(NLDW is great, though)

The video was... surprising. Can't say anymore right now, as I'm tired and afraid that watching it again while in this state of asleep/awakeness will give me some seriously weird dreams.

Hmm... with that in mind, maybe I SHOULD watch it again before going to bed

I have to say, I thought that song sucked before I watched that video. Now it just makes more sense. It goes great with that insane video. Guess that's why it wasn't officially released until the video was finished.

Look! MC Ride actually DOES talk!

Yeah, he's obviously a massive douche but I do believe they are genuine when they say "we do what we want" etc. as opposed to just trying their hardest to appear cool and abstract.
