On this review I will be reviewing the sixth studio album by 'Death Grips' which was released two months ago on the 22nd June 2018. It's the sixth studio album by 'Death Grips' called "Year Of The Snitch".
Death Grips is an American experimental Hip Hop group from Sacramento, California which was formed in 2010. The group consists of three members. 'MC Ride' also known as Stefan Burnett is the lead singer responsible for vocals. 'Zach Hill' is responsible for the drums, electronic drums, production, keyboards, and programming. 'Andy Morin' is responsible for production, bass guitar, audio engineering, keyboards, and programming. I first discovered 'Death Grips' from a Youtuber Anthony Fantano. Anthony Fantano is a huge 'Death Grips' fan it's his favourite group. The first album I heard from 'Death Grips' was their debut album "The Money Store" Which I thought a great debut album it was really experimental. Im not going to lie I thought it was a bit weird with the weird sounds on their debut album. But after getting to know more about them. They are a great group. Despite it's rare to find an experimental hip hop group. However their style can lead to punk rap. Which now days is becoming a trend to the rap scene. Discussing about their discography they have released six studio albums. Their debut album "The Money Store" which is a fantastic debut album. Defintely their best album. It was released back in 2012. During that time it was something different to music. During 2012 there wasn't really experimental hip hop groups coming out in that year. Their second album "No Love Deep Web" which was released back in 2012 as well. The album was alright Teven though the album cover was weird. Their third album "Government Plates" released back in 2013. Not really my favourite I would say it's my least favourite. Their fourth album "The Powers That B" It was not that bad it was decent. Their fifth album "Bottomless Pit" a great album released back in 2016 really experimental interesting lyrics. It was hardcore. Which now brings us to their new album their sixth album "Year Of The Snitch" 2 years later. After hearing "Year Of The Snitch" what did I think of it? I thought it was another great album they do not dissapoint even though I didn't really like "Government Plates" that much. "Year Of The Snitch" It's a great album another interesting 'Death Grips' album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Death Grips Is Online" This track is alright the intro is amazing. "Black Paint" it's catchy it's proper hardcore. "The Horn Section" I really like this 1 minute instrumental which I wish should have been longer. It sounds like a video game. "Shitshow" I would probably say it's my favourite from the album overall. It's a freaking great track I love how the drums are speed up with fast tempo. "Streaky" this high pitch sound was weird at the beginning. It's a decent track it's not that bad. "Dilemma" it's not that bad it's okay. "The Fear" I really liked the production on this track it's really different. It's a different style. "Disappointed" another decent track not to keen the noises in the background. My least favourite track is "Hahaha" probably the least favourite on the album production could been better. It's average.
Overall I thought it was a great album from 'Death Grips' I would listen to it again. I am giving this album an 8/10.
