CRITIC REVIEWS

FACT Magazine

By mothballing the swampy fug and tensile detail, this time Death Grips pivot on razor-edged resolve and naked might. 

82
Pitchfork

For now, at least, NO LOVE DEEP WEB is an extraordinary outlier in most every sense, an album with no definitive home or home turf aside from the millions who will likely download it.

Tiny Mix Tapes

One of the most interesting aspects of this record is how very paranoid it is, how it bites us on the hand when we get too close.

AllMusic
There's the Death Grips you talk about and the Death Grips you listen to, so focus on the latter and the well-crafted release becomes vital.

Beats Per Minute

While No Love Deep Web is not the masterpiece The Money Store undeniably is, it still manages to be both a substantial step forward and, even more importantly, a work not easily forgotten.

80
The 405

Although it didn't initially scorch my face off like April's The Money Store did, it has made me realise how serious Death Grips are and has also made me recognise the amount of potential they possess.

NOW Magazine
Nihilism doesn’t even begin to describe the mood created by the skittering electronic drums, uneasy atmospheric noises and MC Ride’s manic scream-rapping.
75
Spectrum Culture

PR antics and debatable provocation aside, NO LOVE DEEP WEB is an immersive, unpredictable record, a hellacious ode to our fragmented culture.

70
Consequence of Sound

With NO LOVE DEEP WEB, Death Grips continues to distort and debase the map of rap and punk

70
Sputnikmusic

No Love Deep Web is one big grimy middle finger to the music industry and one of the most sordid albums ever released by a group on a major label.

60
No Ripcord

Musical growth takes a backseat to offensiveness, and the urgency that made the group so great before is gone as traits have become gimmicks and parody.

50
A.V. Club

No Love Deep Web is a cautionary tale of misplaced punk ideals, a so-so album the group rushed to meet an arbitrary deadline it set for itself, then released in protest of a label it voluntarily signed to.

My ears bleed from this album. It's a great album, but the bass is mixed so heavy that I have to lower the volume of the lows just to get through this album. Still not complaining too much, because the high points on this album are absurd. There are a few duds here. Deep Web is one of the worst DG songs... maybe as bad as Bootleg. However it has No Love, Lock Your Doors, Come Up And Get Me, Hunger Games, Stockton, and BRSOTS. I do come back to this album quite a bit for those insane highlights.

i like the minimalistic, stripped down sound of this album. the rawest, most aggressive, in-your-face album i've heard from them so far. the cover art suits this very well

favourite: Come Up And Get Me , Lil Boy , No Love , Lock Your Doors , Artificial Death In The West
least favourite: Deep Web
