The Line Of Best Fit
This is probably the album of year, except Death Grips are releasing another this autumn – so whether it’s number one or two is still to be decided. Nevertheless it is pure unmatched artistry ... the pioneering sound we’ve been waiting for

When you begin to alienate, that's when you know you're on to something. But what the naysayers and the hip-hop purists cannot contest, is that without question Death Grips offer something unprecedented

Like anger-rap forefathers Rage Against The Machine and Atari Teenage Riot, Death Grips sometimes seem torn between whether to soundtrack a revolution or just a killer party

Though uncompromising and initially hard to process, the impressive effort that is The Money Store bodes well for the group’s follow-up album due later this year

It’s a glass-chewing, snarling, abrasive, uncompromising, teeming with fuck-everything abandon slate of 13 tracks, just as likely to start slam dancing as it is city-wide riots

Consequence Of Sound
The trio’s very existence depends on toeing a line between maintaining rap’s brooding thuggish-ness without overpowering it with their dubstep-inspired aesthetic. It’s a delicate balance that The Money Store maintains quite well

You won’t find any humour in their philosophies or music. The focus is on creating a sense of intensity and tension that isn’t released until the final sample concludes. That being said, Death Grips pull it off with an ease that similar artists strive for but never attain

The Guardian
There's a void at the heart of Death Grips' sound and fury: Burnett's one-note anger may be fine for those who fetishise the punk-rock mode of expression, but the near-total lack of range in his vocal approach is a poor match for the careening thrill of the music, and wearyingly basic
