If I wanted some mixture of post-rock and metal, bands like Isis and Neurosis are great, but they've made their own genre that's mostly separated from everything else. Deafheaven manage to balance the sweet melodic/dramatic elements from newer post-rock music with the rough sounds of metal. It's pretty tame, less than Opeth levels of intensity, but it's enough to keep the album interesting.
This band might be getting a little TOO sweet sounding, where it's bordering on corny at some points, but ... read more

Pitchfork: it feels closely keyed to the current political state
IT'S A FUCKIN AMBIENT ALBUM YOU TWATS
AND HE'S GERMAN

To me, it's not as impressive as Tyranny, but the sound is a lot more tight, and it's more consistent as a whole. On top of that, it's still an interesting record, though there's little that could blow anyone's mind.
Critics will never be impressed by anything that isn't Is This It/Room On Fire V3, unfortunately.

hey..... it's called twin fantasy...................... and now there's two of them.................................................. danm

if y'all wanna quick laugh go and read pitchfork's review for this one

it aint me......,............................................

Their sound is a lot more plain/less enjoyable on this album. They still wrote some good songs, but it's hard to be impressed by much of this considering what it's following up.

Really solid songwriting. The sound works great on this album.

Really basic sound/songwriting style with some rambly talking vocals. It's really plain. I'm a bit baffled how this got so much praise, but hopefully this inspires her to come out with something more interesting next time.

I can't believe death grips made an entire album using Blender Physics engine, theyre so talonted

Its to loud and he forget to put an album cover on it! How have we fallen

I never want to listen to this, because it'll destroy the image I have of Banks spitting horrible bars over really shitty lo-fi reverbed beats.
I know he doesn't rap on this album but... .could you imagine

Amazing album, great display of just how low a man can get... beavis and butthead are on it too

Has Crazy Frog gone too crazy?????????????????
Yes.

That's the best I could come up with, joke's cancelled.

One good indie rock track after another. The sound isn't unique, but the songwriting makes this worth listening to.

I love the melancholic tone of this album. It has the songwriting skill heard on Emergency and I, with a far more mellow style to it. I'm not sure if I like it more than E&I, but it's close.

Has some great noisy indie rock tracks on it. There's also a few pointless ones, too. It might not be worth the hype, but it's worth a listen. Especially for those who follow indie rock and want something a little different.

It's a miracle Damon and Danger Mouse managed to pull something like this off. The cartoon band was a neat idea, and I doubt they would have been successful as they were, had the music not been as interesting as it was. Definitely one that looks better as more time goes on.

I don't think it's their best in terms of songwriting, but the different styles of sound (usually rough garage rock mixed with indie pop rock) work really well for this.

It's a mess! A mess of different sounds and ideas. Even if it's not well composed, it's something unique to listen to.
