CRITIC REVIEWS
91
Bottomless Pit’s bloodthirsty joyousness is infectious, refreshing, and exactly what you’d hope for from a new Death Grips release. It’s the culmination of everything they’ve been working towards since the beginning, and in absolutely no respect does it disappoint.
90
Bottomless Pit is possessed, and songs like ‘Eh’ and ‘Three Bedrooms In A Bad Neighbourhood’ are as vital as anything the group has yet released.
90
Death Grips perfects the art of abrasive ear candy on their latest record.
81
On their new album Bottomless Pit, they stitch together one of their most cohesive grotesques ever, renewing their focus on songcraft, rather than chicanery. It's sure to elicit a sigh of relief among fans who’ve grown jaded with the band’s work.
80
Bottomless 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.
80
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.
80
Bottomless Pit is a rowdy and hypnotic 40-minute suite of alienation and controlled anger. It’s Death Grips. F**k with them.
80
Despite pairing their explosive and experimental tendencies with straightforward song structures for this latest descent into sonic despair, the record is hardly a rehash.
80
Everything 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.
80
For all the different genres it consumes and spits back, it sounds like no other band on earth.
75
Bottomless Pit is Death Grips 2.0, as promised.
50
Like watching a great beast eat itself, there is little in the way of elegance or grand design to this music, yet it remains throttling nonetheless, as relentlessly blunt as it is overwhelmingly meaningless.
'I'M ALL UP IN MY GLORY HOLE S-O NO NO NO'
'3, 4 FUCK YOU BABY, DISJOINTED HOUDINI BABY'
'SPIKESPIKESPIKESPIKES'
'BLO-BLO-BLO-BLO-BLO'
all contenders for hook of the year
Full Video Review on my youtube channel @"Brad Taste In Music"
This album is brutal. It is merciless. It is Death grips basically stripped down to perfection.
This album has no negatives. I can listen to this thing front to back no problem
The production is unreal.
This is the musical equivalent of Cocaine
I hated this thing on my first listen after loving the money store, and I had to listen to Powers that B before I adjusted to this sound but man it works too well.

The bass on BB Poison hit so hard my grandpa thought the Germans were coming back, THE ULITIMATE HEAD BANGER ALBUM!!!
I've decided to do a redux review for this album since it became my favorite DG album, I wasn't sure after I've heard it for the first time but it has grown on me more with every single listen, In my opinion this is the most consistent album in their discography and its the album that made me really love them and appreciate them.

This shit sounds like I snuck a phone into hell and recorded the audio from a crazy ass concert.
Good god.
This album rocks on so many levels. It's loud, painful, grimy, and fucking relentless - and despite this it's probably the most generally palatable death grips album out there. It's amazing how unabashedly CATCHY the tunes on here are while not sacrificing any of what makes death grips distinct and unapproachable. Another album I honestly can't see myself not enjoying at any point in my life. I come back to this at least once a month because it's just that good to me.

As much as the cover art intrigues me & the great reception this album has received, I'm holding it off on listening until I get to interview 2016 in my death grips deep dive. Like i REALLYYYYYY wanna listen but I feel like discogs that have great receptions by everyone should be listened in chronological order. I'm currently planning on listening to Government Plates next in a bit rn so I still got a long way to go until I get to the album I'm most excited for lmao, but Money Store slapped and I heard this was the successor to their debut lp
