I wouldn't call this new album Death Grips "at their best." Maybe Death Grips "doing another Death Grips album." There wasn't really anything new or unique about the last couple albums which is a shame because I got into them because they were doing something cool and different.

Everything since that point has felt like retreads on the same idea, and I wish they had just tried something new instead of calling it quits entirely. I guess we're not getting that film soundtrack either  I feel like I would've been more bummed about this in 2012, but Clipping has kinda filled that void for me at this point. I hope Stefan Burnett continues to make music in some capacity.

The breakup does make sense. They don't like to deal with record labels, they don't like to do live shows, and it does seem like they've hit their creative conclusions with their song writing.quote:I hope Stefan Burnett continues to make music in some capacity.

Since people are saying they've done this before I'm going to assume that this is just some kind of publicity stunt. So I'm not really losing my poo poo about this. Really lovely of them to cancel all of their gigs, though. Where's the second half of TPTB?

yeah the band seemed to have hit a huge case of writer's block with their later stuff. exmilitary is loving awesome but the rest of their stuff was kind of eh...this was probably for the best.

At the same time this is very disappointing, I can't say it's unexpected. Plus, as has been repeated, they've done poo poo like this before. Maybe they just really, really hate touring and think it's the easiest way to get out of it. Even if this is really the end of the band, at least they put out some cool poo poo to listen to.

He's probably being a bit facetious with the whole "I don't know why I thought they could keep it together" when really he should mean that completely un-ironically and should feel bad for booking them anyway.

He sounds like he feels stupid for booking them and getting his hopes up. I don't see how that's unfair. Consider what it means for him, he has to get another band on board for a huge tour, or adjust what he does with his set. This has to be a hard time to book with all the festivals going on and such short notice. I love death grips but I'm a little tired of them bailing on the live shows.

The Money Store. Which deserves a 10/10, really. That album was undeniably a well made, boundary pushing piece of sonic adrenaline.

If you haven't yet, anyone who's a fan of this band should really check out "Church Gone Wild" which is Zach Hill's half of a Speakerboxx/TLB style split album from the two guys in Hella. It's a similiar noise assault style but applied to your usual drum/bass/guitar band but he also dials in some great jams and riffs too.

One of my biggest problems with the "genre" is the lack of traditional instruments so that seems right up my alley.
