THE RECORD EXCHANGE REVIEW: ZACH ON DEATH GRIPS’ ‘NO LOVE DEEP WEB’
The year is 2012. The Mayan calendar was coming to an end, and in high school my friends and I were preparing to say our goodbyes come December at the end of the year. I was happy enough to have The Money Store by Death Grips as a soundtrack for the apocalypse, as it helped me get through the rapture of the previous year 2011 unscathed. I was very excited and following the band closely for info about their new album to be released through Epic, and after listening to The Money Store and Ex Military hundreds of times at that point I was champing at the bit for more. Apparently the band had said that the new album wouldn’t be out for another year, and I knew by then that it wouldn’t matter (Mayan calendar), but they kept hinting to look out in October for something. At the time I remember kind of just assuming it would be a few songs or maybe a single or whatever, which was still exciting. And then it happened. Leaked by the band October 1, No Love Deep Web was released with an album cover that still holds controversy, but has good reason and artistic value.
