Black flag show up on here too... Some creative sampling!Love the part at the end of guillotine where the electronic burbling swells up and lifts the song to the next level.

although it's a lot more punk rock + a bunch of other things, i definitely get a shabazz palaces vibe at times (mostly in the lyrics + flow, like on "culture shock" for ex).

finding death grope a lot more enjoyable & fun than any of those precedents. like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

lol nice. year of the snitch was probably my most listened-to album of the year. it didn't bowl me over at first, but its endless parade of off-the-wall ideas--coupled with its uniformly hazy, blunted sonics--kept pulling me back in. i don't think i've seen it on a single year-end list :(
would love to see them go deeper into the psych-prog zone of dilemma

I should have absorbed more DG by now. Really, really, really liked The Powers That B or whatever the two-disc thing was officially called. The juxtaposition of the two not-very-similar discs somehow added something in itself. I even bought a physical copy fercrissakes, which is noteworthy for me nowadays.
But I have no recollection of hearing the stuff since then, nor NLDW for that matter. I've no real excuse...
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Monday, 9 December 2019 02:36 (four years ago) link
Definitely a band that felt uniquely important and new. An actual next stage of punk. Seeing the crowd that showed up to their shows kinda ruined some of it for me though. Looked like a 4chan meetup.
