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.
and yeah, OP gif couldn't be more perfect

Its weirdly positive right? And the diversity of approach from song to song means it never bogs down.Interesting that this is garnering straight up yes or NO responses.

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).

Yeah, it's definitely in this SP/Spaceghostpurrp/Blunt Fang nexus of sonically abrasive underground rap, but way more aggro vocally than any of those. Anyone know where this guy is from?

money store is the one i listen to most often but ya easy best band of the last decade
― flopson, Monday, 9 December 2019 02:01 (four years ago) link
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.
