-
May 12, 2016On their new album Bottomless Pit, they stitch together one of their most cohesive grotesques ever, renewing their focus on songcraft, rather than chicanery.
-
Aug 2, 2016Ultimately, for all the different genres it consumes and spits back, it sounds like no other band on earth.
-
Jul 7, 2016Everything sounds so precise, crisp, hard-hitting, and indomitable. For that exact reason, Bottomless Pit is an ideal effort for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Needless to say, whatever the type of listener, it won't be forgotten.

-
May 11, 2016Bottomless Pit is a rowdy and hypnotic 40-minute suite of alienation and controlled anger.
-
May 11, 2016Musically you always know where you stand--the sound of a Death Grips record is unmistakable--powerful, aggressive and confrontational. Which leads us on to Bottomless Pit--very much more of the same, while pushing their sound forward.

May 11, 2016Bottomless Pit will clearly not be for all hip-hop or punk fans, but it is impossible to deny that this album, just like the rest of the duo’s catalog, is doing a much-needed service to both genres by experimenting with them in unimaginable ways.

-
Nov 3, 2016Radical rap, strained through absurdity and grotesqueness, Death Grips' fifth full-length effectively services--and disrupts--both punk and hip-hop.
