Jan 16, 2016Well, this is obviously not as focused on mc ride as the rest of death grips discography but it is still cool birds is an amazing piece of work and some of the instrumentals are also very catchy

Jun 10, 2014This is an odd album. I was a fan of Death Grips previous work (especially The Money Store) and I feel like they did not have the same delivery on this album. I understand what they were going for, I'm just not a fan of the fact there are minimal mc ride lyrics (as a lot of the vocals are samples)

Jun 9, 2014Simplistic, minimalistic, and nihilistic, this album seems more like an experiment for them, on top of their already-experimental genre. It's my least favorate of their albums, but they still offer the memorable first half with Ride's awesome yells and grunts.

May 29, 2014Those instrumentals stop and start, throb and zap, sprint and lurch, empty out or swarm with noise, and they often completely switch texture in midtrack--the more disorienting the better.

May 29, 2014[Government Plates] is bursting with kinetic energy and texture, and never focuses on one particular sound for overlong over its economical 36 minute run time. It's that sense of ever shifting energy and momentum that characterizes Death Grips best work and it's a relief to see it returned to.

May 29, 2014Featuring minimal hooks, guttural yelps and harrowing production, Government Plates sounds like nothing else this year--so in other words, it sounds a whole lot like Death Grips.
