  1. 9.1 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    The songs on Bottomless Pit are shorter than usual for Death Grips but this doesn’t restrict the band at all; the tight framework works well for them, allowing them to stuff as many juicy moments as they can into a small span of time

  2. 9.0 |   Gig Soup

    A return to earlier form, and fully justifies why they’re considered to one of the most essential bands of the decade

  3. 9.0 |   FasterLouder

    Bottomless Pit is evil, sure – but more than that, it’s manic. It’s one unstoppable high

  4. 8.5 |   Beardfood

    Their music remains as unpredictable as their public relations. Just

  5. 8.3 |   Earbuddy

    If you’ve never understood Death Grips’ appeal, Bottomless Pit isn’t going to make a fan out of you. But, if you’ve been on the fence between releases, give this one a listen

  6. 8.1 |   Pitchfork

    One of their most cohesive grotesques, renewing their focus on songcraft

  7. 8.0 |   Spin

    Bottomless Pit is a rowdy and hypnotic 40-minute suite of alienation and controlled anger

  8. 8.0 |   DIY

    There’s no point believing a word they say or trusting them to deliver a perfect album next time around. All that matters is that for now - they’ve nailed it

  9. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    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

  10. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Ultimately, for all the different genres it consumes and spits back, it sounds like no other band on earth

  11. 8.0 |   State

    Bottomless Pit proves to be a return for the band to their most enjoyable and punishing sound

  12. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    For those who ran out of goodwill for the band's music and antics post-Money Store, Death Grips 2.0 is worth looking into

  13. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Death Grips pride themselves on constantly shifting and progressing from one release to the next. That unfortunately sometimes outweighs cohesion, but Bottomless Pit is tighter, more daring, and catchier than that

  14. 5.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    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
