MEDIOCRE

Just like Cage's 4'11" before it, Bar Sachiko is a work whose concept on paper I appreciate more than the actual auditory experience itself.

DECENT

The energy that JID brings forth throughout The Forever Story is respectable and highly entertaining. However, for an album that I consistently returned to for half the year, each time I've found that it leaves my mind far too quickly for it to really have as much of an impact as other records of its kind. Enjoyable, it most certainly is. One of my favourites, it unfortunately is not.

GOOD

This and Exmilitary are perhaps the best front to back listens in Death Grips' discography. While The Money Store may have the higher highs, the front half of Government Plates holds peaks that they never topped again, and the back half flows so well that it becomes irreplaceable. I'm Overflow through to Bootleg is simply Death Grips' at their best.

GOOD

Along with Exmilitary, the only Death Grips album that I return to fairly often, and only joined by The Powers That B and Government Plates in releases actually worth your time in their otherwise unessential discography. Hacker alone makes up for the rest of the mediocrity that was to come.
