my current relationship with Death Grips' music:
-Listens to Exmilitary
-Is traumatized
-Guess I'll listen to *all of their albums*
I think most DG fans felt that way at first
I would spend at least few days on each album individually before moving on
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FACE
Same thing happened to me when I just became a fan
*pop* Noice
Best DG Albums ranked:
1. Deleted Pitchfork interview 2012
2. Fashion Week
3. That ringtone they released
4. That time Death Grips Broke up
5. pic of anthony fantano at DG concert
What ringtone?

Don’t forget that picture they took with Beyoncé and Robert Pattinson

i think that Jenny Death is much more of a Ride album, everything but DG 2.0 is just full of insane and expressive performances from Stefan with often really personal lyrics
Yes im sure pissing on girls faces and breaking mirrors with your face is very personal
Fun fact: the vocals of Björk on BROTHERS on the moon were all samples played by Zach on a Roland V electronic drum kit
*Hulk Hogan voice* OOOOOH YEEEEAAAHH, BROTHER!

Death grips are the most groundbreaking act of the last decade.
Easily
.
Yes
All time
I love Death Grips. They are truly avant-garde in the sense that they're continuously pushing the envelope.
For newcomers I'd suggest "I've seen footage" or "Hacker". It's a good introduction to Death Grips.
I love death grips but Im still not a fan of hacker personally. System blower, I've seen footage, the fever, the cage, get got, hustle bones will grab most people with their catchy beats and hooks.
lightseer hacker is good
@@lightseer1642 system blower is amazing and I started listening to them recently. Took 3 tries and a lot of marijuana but it hits
I’ve seen footage is excellent, hacker is pretty good.
Guillotine was the one that got me in.
RIP your actually decent comments section in 3, 2, 1...
Great work again Oliver. You're by far my favourite TH-cam music channel.
In Rainbows Agreed, and I’ve been listening to/watching Fantano review music for almost an entire decade now (I’ve followed him longer than any other TH-camr). My love for this channel brings me back to the love I used to have for Anthony’s channel. I still watch and enjoy his content, but the comment section hasn’t been about a love and passion for the music in a long time, and that’s sad. Plus, I just plain like what Oliver covers on this channel; I’m actually introduced to music that has gone under my radar, and is typically really great. His passion for the music is clear, and his writing is very intelligent, and informed. I’ve been telling people for about a year and half now, that this is the best space for lovers of music online. Anyway, I digress.. gotta love, Oliver. ✌🏼
PS - excuse the needledrop comparisons. I know it’s kind of irrelevant, but it’s impossible for me not to think in that context, given that this channel does what Anthony’s did for me in my youth.. ✌🏼
"Jenny Death is their weakest"
Thems fightin' words, partner...
Jenny Death is kinda their best ngl
Death grips is like a strong drug. I want it i need it.
James M1079 I need it to make me feel heated
death grips feels like doing heroin while taking a shit on a public toilet at a highway
Death grips are ketamine- its hard, psychedelic, incapacitates and stupifies you, and nobodys heard of it

If you think the Björk samples in Homies in the Moon are stupid (like I used to) imagine Zach on an electronic drum kit with Björk’s voice attached to it. The end of the whole record is a long Zach Hill solo if you think about it!

It's an album I have tons of respect for but it's also the only DG album I don't enjoy listening to.

Tom Waits guide got me hype!
Best of the best sir Waits
your guides really are solid and death grips is fascinating. i've gone through phases with government plates, NOTM, jenny death, the money store and exmilitary but no love deep web didn't grab me. you've convinced me to give it another try
just started listening to the discography, government plates is by far my favorite!
I really enjoy Bottomless Pit😃
Bottomless Pit and Jenny Death for me
Still sad I never got to see them open for Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. I mean, I got The Dillinger Escape Plan as a replacement which is awesome, but still.
TJ Hastie eh didn’t effect the DG soo Dey just keep moving forward
At least you got to see Dillinger before their break up
thats quite an experience. I wish I had been you.
Man, I hated Dillinger. I wish I saw Death Grips.
I had tickets for them to open for them but I have seen them 3 times since then. If you really want to you make it happen.
A Guide to KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD! It would be awesome!
BlueFluffles3232 Doubt he would do it. He doesn't really like them.
neroalkaline I think op knows this? The old "sometimes its hard to convey tone" with the written language.
Oliver didn't care for any of their 2017 material, so it'll never happen.
Oh hell yes that would be flippin hilarious man 😂 ! " deep outs guide from the worst of King gizzard to the WORST of King gizz- ah fck it, it's all site mate, just not worth it..."
Middle 8 made one, but their albums are not interesting or consistent enough as to warrant an episode
god damnit steroids has to be my favourite death grips project, the 20 minute length is perfectly ideal for the pace of the record as it just hits you constantly with intense gabber beats and abstract lyrics without slowing down or getting repetitive. quintessential death grips, fast and bulbous.
Finally, someone who’s favourite DG album is NLDW. Most people go with The Money Store or Exmilitary (which are both fantastic) but I’m glad somebody appreciates NLDW as much as I do :)
Luke Berrie Dude, if that is your favorite, then you are now one of 4 people I know who’s fav is NLDW, including Oliver, myself, and my ex. We’re a rarity, but we exist.
Too bad the best is notm
Hard Days Great album, no doubt, but not better than NLDW, for me. The good thing about DG is that for people who get into them, they are bound to love pretty much all of their albums. Fans don’t have to argue over the best album, bc we can all appreciate every one of them for their unique brilliance. ✌🏼
I wish I heard people talk about Artificial Death in the West more often.
Also, NLDW was the first of their albums I bought on vinyl. I keep it as my display album haha.
NLDW is in my top 3
Video is as long as Bottomless Pit, cheers
I'm almost upset that you discovered this.
and longer than year of the snitch...
It’s longer than Bottomless Pit
Guide to Lil B next?
What a picture mate.
I feel like DG are like modern musics equivalent of Captain Beefheart. Truly experimental, abrasive and challenging but absolutely brilliant.
Please do a guide to Coil next
zakan This so much
people need coil in their lives
Yes; also Current 93 and Throbbing Gristle
Agreed
I'd argue the least normie bands might be Whitehouse or Sun City Girls
Fantastic work! Thank you so much for this video. As a long-time Grips fan this is probably the best guide I've seen online yet. We share most of the same opinions on their work too.
Primavera Socialista Records So is your fav NLDW too?! If so, that raises the # of ppl I know who’s fav is NLDW to 5 (including myself)! Haha ✌🏼
Honestly I think YOTS might be my favorite DG album
Yeah your comments on Jenny Death are wild. Jenny Death is the most personal album that Death Grips has ever written. Also Nick Reinharts guitars are a great switch up from what we expect from DG. Jenny Death is far from their weakest release
That's what makes The Powers That B such a successful one-two punch.
bigwilliestyle I think TPTB is in general their most "personal" album. I got the impression that NOTM was their most personal release but I guess that's up to interpretation.
JD > Government Plates easily and unarguably imo
JD > GP and YOTS
Oh yeah Jenny death is one of my favorite projects from them I way prefer it from the first half. I think that's part of what's so great about death grips, that there's a wide diversity of thought about their art and projects
The absolute madman
This comment section is gonna be interesting...
incoming quote storm
The Horn Section
MEMES INCOMING! TAKE COVER!
This comment section is going to be... Intres
"the whip of a knob" hahaha
😉
I respectfully disagree with your opinions on JD. Its a very strong release imo, and On GP is not just my favourite Death Grips song, but one of my favourite songs of all time.
Its lyrics connect with me on a very personal level, with the way it portrays suicidal thoughts, and its a rare song that never fails to give me chills every single time I listen to it
Mouldy Seagull Exactly, ON GP it's probably one of the most powerful songs for me.
Completely agree, it’s one of my favourite songs of all time too. Maybe the only death grips song where MC Ride is a relatable human being. Jenny death is also my favourite death grips album. I love how the entire track list is full of 5 plus behemoths and some of their most abrasive yet (Inanimate sensation etc).
yeah i was shocked that he said it was his least favorite. i will loyally stand by jenny death as being their best album
Jenny death on top forever!!!!!
Jenny Death their worst? Interesting...
NLDW their best? Also, very interesting...
Well Jenny Death IS one of their worst and NLDP is one of their best so
JD is top tier death grips, bottomless pit is their least important/essential I think, it didnt need to happen
Jenny Death is the best imo
The money store is their best for sure
Deep Cuts is giving bad people good ideas with this guide
Oh my god. I cannot wait for you to do a Tom Waits guide. He is my all time favourite artist, releasing classic album after classic album. What would you say is his finest album? Love your videos so much, btw.
Tubs 00 Bone Machine, but I agree, his whole discography is great to genius. Bone Machine just holds a special, weird place in my mid-20s, and it wins for being the catharsis I needed in that period of my life, though, I know that was for Olly.. 😁✌🏼
Alright you got me. I gotta sub now. Also Money Store is probably my favorite album but YotS gets better with every listen.
It took me two years to fully understand and appreciate death grips (given i am a very busy music listener) but between the release of bottom less pit and this years ‘Year Of The Snitch’, i dipped in and out of Their discography, sometimes annoyed, mostly confused, but i still knew something was there and had to be there to tap me in the shoulder and then dissapear as soon as I turned around to see what it was that was getting my attention. After hearing YOTS this year and loving it, listen after listen, I decided to go back and listen to the things i had ignored in reverse. Started with bottomless pit in its entirety and not just my personal highlights. Needless to say, i’m all the way to exmilitary with a new appreciation for the band. I don’t know why now, im starting to like and hear things i just wasn’t before, but im glad i went back. And tried to digest what I didn’t or was impatient about with their older material. A friend of mine told me once I opened that box I wouldn’t be able to stop. And I haven’t. Its been DG all day every day since the release back in June.
Blake Barron
It only took me 4-5 months to go from hating them to becoming completely obsessed. My advice to anyone who gets into them properly is to limit yourself when you listen to them because they are very easy to overlisten to.
Billswax how do you know when you’ve over listened to (music) a band?
Blake Barron
It begins to sound boring and you don’t enjoy it anymore.
I cannot stop listening to Death Grips please help me it's been over 6 months
justplainskill Welcome, there's no getting out of this
Same situation for me, I can't help you
Stay noided
Bottomless pit is their best project. Most abrasive production, sonorous vocals from MC Ride, and amazing drum instrumentation from Zach Hill plus I can’t get enough of that track hothead
I love the voice in the beginning of Giving Bad People Good Ideas, it rings in my head throughout the day if I listen to it
Great guide as always! My favorite DG album has to be "The Money Store" to me it's one of the best workout record ever. If you have "Punk Weight" in your ear on full blast while in the midst of a run in the relentless mid summer heat will take you to a real primal place like no drug trip ever could.
I was introduced to grips through Guillotine and then tried listening to Exmilitary which I couldn't get into at first. I tried listening to it again some weeks later and again couldn't get through it. The third time I gave it a listen I fell in love with it, and it remains my favorite of their albums. It's like they had to rape my ears until I liked it.
WHOA.
This is a very comprehensive introduction to Death Grips, good job on this one.
Death Grips is easily the single most important act of the decade, everything they've done has pushed boundaries and changed the musical landscape, I feel like guides like these are very welcomed.
Also imo because of how wild their discography is and how each album has something different to offer I feel like I can't choose a real favorite or a least favorite album which is why I disagree on both your choices, especially for Jenny Death which contains on of my favorites if not absolute favorite track that they've ever made.
Overall, great video, I'll be sure to stick around your discord.
i like to think that they have planned dropping out of epic records since the moment they have signed to them
I suggest you do a guide of all of Daniel Lopatin’s/ OPN’s discography in the future. I know the amount of works he has seems like it wouldn’t warrant a guide, but I think the breadth of style and experimentation he changes on each album is the largest I’ve seen of any artist.
I love that this guy understands the start of their albums is the progression of where they left off on their last album.
So glad you're doing a guide on Tom Waits! One of my favourite artists and, in a lot of ways an overlooked one.
The Powers that B is one album and is their best album. Have a nice day.
this channel it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Do a guide to 'Jandek', the Houston singer-songwriter that has released about 60 albums of dissonant, atonal blues/folk that reeks of mental health and all from his PO BOX since 1978
:yuh:
death grips meme
lmao i get this because im a huge Death Grips fan!!!!! this is a hilarious meme!
Thank you Eliza, very cool!
Okay, this is epic.
Lol only real death grips fans know 👌 haha stay noided
hi i'm oliver and this is NOIDED CUTS
I could hear Ride’s voice on NOIDED CUTS
hello!
So happy you did this! Would be thrilled to see one on Kanye West!
David Savage I would be as well
I know it’s the obvious choice but for me you cannot beat The Money Store
Woodchuck799 It’s probably tied for 2nd for me (tied with Exmilitary). NLDW is my fav, but all three of those first albums (yeah, Ex is a mixtape, whatever) are so fucking good, it’s ridiculous. Some days I probably would say MS too. Those albums are what got me into them. It’s hard for me to imagine loving anything from them more than those, though, everything they’ve put out is good to genius imo. ✌🏼
I've always counted Ex when talking about their discog
you should do a guide to Les Rallizes Denudés. i think it would be interesting to see due to the fact that they never really had a studio album and just live recordings and bootlegs (also due to their crazy controversial past and experimentation)
They say if you make a video about Death Grips a wild Melon will appear
deep grips
I’ve been listening to tom waits non stop for the last month so can’t wait for your video
Responsibility's cool, but there’s more things in life
Like watching Oliver say that NLDP is his favorite album
hope you're still doing well dude...all your videos are gold...thanks for caring so much!
35:00 what the hell? Black Paint was the best out of the singles released before the album drop. BLACK BLACK PAINTTT
my most visited album is ex military but my favorite is still NOTM: the stripped back electronics and clarity of ride's vocals on NLDW explode into schizophrenic highs with the bjork sampling on NOTM. the venom of up my sleeves, the dizzying tempo changes on say hey kid, the strangeness of fuck me out etcetcetc. every track is just so fucking memorable.
Could you possibly do a guide to the cure? Would be very interesting. Keep up the good work!
Yeh great shit Oliver! Snitch is an odd little animal. I can listen to it all the way through anytime day or nite. It's personal, like some obscure indie DIY discovery BC I keep thinking I'm the only one who notices and appreciates all the cool little ins and outs of it. Weird, those high school music feels returning for me on YOTS. No idea why.....ok, thx man. Can't wait for Waits ha
It's not just your generation. This upper Gen X'er gets it. I consider them a Hip Hop Skinny Puppy.
Originality in a cookie cutter world goes a long way.
*
Love Skinny Puppy! Rabies & Too Dark Park are essential albums!
mrbunglemrbungle yesssss
Glad to find someone who appreciates NLDW as much as I do.
I really like Bottomless Pit. I think it's my favorite Death Grips album, what is yours?
Ryan Kim the money store
no love deep web
Bottomless Pit for me too. It's their first album that "clicked" for me and it remains my favorite to this day.
Veteran
the powers that b. the closest that they've ever gotten to perfection imo and one of the strongest contender for my 2015 aoty
Dude, aside from myself, you’re one of only 2 other people I know who’s fav DG album is No Love Deep Web! Good man! It’s also got one of the best album covers of the decade imo, and one of the best ever. Call me a perv, call me an fruit, etc., it’s nothing to do with thinking Zach’s got a nice rod.. it’s bc I think it’s one of the boldest, most absurdist pieces of album art ever, and I appreciate the fuck out of that. I actually didn’t know the full story behind it, and now I love it even more, dude. Brilliant album.
All that said, possibly my favorite DG musical moment is the beginning of Exmilitary, that fucking maddening opening of “Up the Beach” and Manson ranting like the narcissistic lunatic he is, then that explosion into the track.. ugh! I was instantly a fan!
Anyway, great job, dude! CANNOT FUCKING WAIT for that Tom Waits guide, dude! It’ll be interesting to see if we share the same fav album from him as well, which has been the case with most of the guides you’ve done, so far! Much love, Oliver! Keep it up! ✌🏼🙏🏼
death grips is online
Jenny Death is their greatest artistic achievement, they went to their punk roots for a personal and expressive album. Money Store is their catchiest and most iconic. But Jenny Death is my fav for On GP alone
Death grips is one of the best band of this decade
The Music Guy Anthony Fantanbro
I’ve been listening to DG for a bit around half a year. Half of my Spotify playlist is DG. My fav song is Billy Not Really. Wb y’all
1. No Love Deep Web
2. Jenny Death
3. Bottomless Pit
4. The Money Store
5. Exmilitary
6. Year of the Snitch
7. Government Plates
8. Negroids on the Asteroid
Haven't heard the instrumental albums and the only song off their first EP I've heard is Full Moon. It's decent.
After watching this video I’ve been in the mood for nothing else. Excellent work!!
came for Death Grips, Subbed for Tom Waits
Dragons Thanos Dude, if you’re into those two artists, you’re in good company here. Oliver has got great taste in music. I highly recommend your exploring his past guides, essentials, “five albums to get you into”, and basically all his vids. I started following in late 2016, and seriously this dude had consistently put out nothing but brilliant content. Definitely my favorite music channel on TH-cam, and I’ve been following Fantano since 2009.. This dude is legit, brother! ✌🏼
This was the video I was waiting for. THANK YOU FOR THIS
Death Grips is, so far, the greatest band of the 21st century
Thanks man, that was great. I just got into No Love Deep Web after been digesting The Money Store for a year, quite a challenging listening for me. This is gonna be very usefull for my future digging in the band's discography, which had me intriged every time I looked at it in rateyourmusic wondering what to listen next and where all that releases came from (not anymore). Keep up the great work!
influential artists like
*ground rumbles*
*oliver's eyes start glowing*
***BEE-JERK***
Honestly enjoy listening to deep cuts describing music as much as i enjoy music
Do the residents next!
Soup Man I'd love a Residents guide!
Wouldn't it be like, 4 hours long?
Fuck you don’t see a residents comment often lmao
Interview 2016 is depressingly underrated. Interview B is one of my favorite instrumentals ever
Thank you for Tom Waits
Great video, dude!
Could you do a deep cuts guide to the Wu Tang Clan with the members solo outings and group material
It’s amazing to hear from someone who shares very different opinions on Death Grips’ discography. Usually everyone praises The Money Store as the absolute best, for good reason, but personally I agree that No Love Deep Web is their best release by far. Amazing video, keep up the great work
Government Plates deserves more credit. It's a good album to blast before or after blasting The Powers that B part 1(N.O.T.M.)
Another incredible guide! Thank you so much man!
Couldn’t agree more with Jenny Death, never did anything for me at all, sadly I feel the same about Bottomless Pit. Although happy to say they’ve returned with one of their best albums, if not their best with Year of the Snitch! That and N***as on the Moon are defo their masterpieces imo
Year of the snitch is so good
Thanks for another great guide. Nick Cave was a great one. Tom Waits next -- . To quote Lux Interior, "You've got gooooood taste." You've got the best overviews and great insights.
Cal Chuchesta agrees 👍
waterglass21 ba BAM 💥
Epic
40 minutes? You have blessed us
Melonhead would be proud of this..
your daddy
Melon just tweeted this video, so he probably already is
Not really, If you listen closely you'll see that Deep Cut's album ranking is nearly the total opposite of Fantano
You can be proud/respect someone with a different opinion than yours, you know
My favorite 80s band - New Order - was also extremely mysterious. Albums usually had no pictures or names - text was sometimes in code if provided at all. They gave very few interviews. They also did whatever type of music they wanted - morphing from punk to goth in their first incarnation (Joy Division) and morphing from goth to independent rock to dance music as New Order. As an American fan, it was YEARS before I learned much of anything about them, and it was intoxicating to have ONLY the music to influence me. The internet destroys the mystery of rock music. As soon as you see your favorite musician chilling in a pair of shorts with their dog, it's over. Far too many people these days feel they have to like and respect an artist to like their work. That's a crummy way of coming at art. I'm not trying to be friends with them - I just want great music.
Yeah, the photo with James Hetfield standing with an Armani bag comes to mind. I think DG burned that bridge to selling out with NLDW thankfully, lol.
I'VE SEEN FOOTAGE
ThehXcGamer NOID NOID NOID
Great guide! I happen to really like Jenny Death but I see your point. NL/DW is their best for me, followed by govt plates and Bottomless Pit. The Money Store doesn't grab me like I feel it should.
non specific inky fluid
I read this exactly at the moment he said it.
Well done! HYPE for Tom Waits as well! I also think No Love Deep Web might be my favourite release as well.
What about that song with Les Claypool with the banana artwork?
