| 4.5 superb | Sam Feldman | April 18th 12 | Hi DanielrEverything is fine here. The weather has been unpredictable but somehow that's to be expected these days. I saw your father yesterday, he looked good. Must be all the walking he's doing. Anyway, I hope you're ok out there. I'll check in soon with your boss to make sure everything is going ok. I love you.rSamrBut seriously this is absolutely mind-blowing for a major label debut. The Money Store is anti-establishment, anti-order, The Joker in music form. Welcome to the future.

| 0.0 | Adam Thomas EMERITUS | May 1st 12 | It seems 2012 is so desperate for a good hip-hop record that it's made shit like this passable.

| 5.0 classic | Alexander | April 18th 12 | When Ex-Military came out, Death Grips came in with a unique mix of glitchy hip-hop beats and hardcore punk aggression into a sound that could hardly be categorized into one genre. And shortly a year later we have DG make a true sense of musical progression with The Money Store. Much of the first half of this album will be familiar but with the second half a batch of club bangers come in. And when I say club bangers I mean disgustingly huge raw bass and drum beats that will absolutely tear you a new one. The Money Store sees the trio exploring more dance-y type tracks but still keeping themselves firmly rooted in their agro hip-hop punk sound that right now no one is even close to copying. Death Grips have their own alley of sound and they continue to run with it, and with that, The Money Store should easily be on top of many 2012 lists.

| 3.0 good | Vegeta of Nazareth | May 2nd 12 | I don't know guys. It is an interesting hit and immediately compelling but after a couple days, I stare back at my stereo when this is playing and just go "ALRIGHT WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A MINUTE"

| 1.5 very poor | Young Buck | April 26th 12 | This album goes the kind of hard that leaves you with some dead bitch you gotta get rid of, only this time the freezers full and the cops are at your door yelling "I'M IN YO AREA!!!!!"

| 3.5 great | Mayank187 | April 22nd 12 | Great for fans of industrial and noise rock to get a foothold on rap/hip-hop. Good imagery with some of the lyrics. Good production.rSolid album. A bit overhyped because of a dry year though.

| 5.0 classic | gRINN | April 16th 12 | I'm so absurdly happy with this album that Death Grips wouldn't have to release another album for years. Fortunately, we get another one soon as fuck.So like, I don't even know.

| 4.5 superb | MuZack95 | April 23rd 13 | This is a very polarizing album. Some will love it to death, and some will hate it with a passion. And it should just be left at that. No one should be attacked as being a pseudo-intellectual asshole who doesn't know the first thing about music and/or is trying to be cool by liking something different from the norm, and no one should be stamped as someone who doesn't get or appreciate the genius that they do not see in the music. Either take it or leave it, and don't judge based on who is listening.

| 0.0 | PaulShallPerish | December 18th 12 | At first listen, i didnt 'get' this. At second, i begin to understand what theyre trying to do, but have this feeling that they arent the only ones doing this blend of heavy primal hip-hop/[slight]dubstep. Good album though, after a few listens anyways. If this album isn't doing anything for you, try listening with good/decent over-the-ear headphones, it helps.

| 2.5 average | hesperus | December 17th 12 | The only thing even remotely groundbreaking on this album is the glorious eschewing of decent flow.
Bump |
| 3.0 good | chtrenne | December 12th 12 | The lyrics are almost unintelligible and the production is nothing to gawk at, but it definitely kept my attention. I'm reluctant to give it this high of an album because of their real-life antics, but what can you do?
Bump |
| 4.0 excellent | Eric Greenman | December 5th 12 | Have you ever had a record that you loved, but you had no idea why? This is that record for me. This album is almost all production driven, with most of the rapping being too hard to figure out (although they are not bad lyrics if you look them up) and not having that great of a flow either. This sounds like an album I would hate, but I love it and I still don't have a full grasp as to why I do. I think the main reason is that the album is just so damn catchy. The hooks are one reason this album is so catchy, with almost every track having a great hook, but I think the production was what really got me with this album. The production is so layered, complex, and bass heavy that there is no way I can't love it, no matter what any of Death Grips haters say. Overall, this is a great banger of an album, but not something I'd recommend to anyone into lyrics.

Bump |
| 3.0 good | steadyriot | July 13th 12 | This isn't for everyone- myself included in that category. However, the production is very good and is pretty different from most rap music so give it a spin and see if its your thing
Bump |
| 0.0 | AGuyIsWatchingYou | July 6th 12 | Abrasive, violent, claustrophobic and fun are the first words that come to mind when thinking of this masterpiece. Some will call it mindless and shallow but in the end who really cares? All we have to do now is sit and see how it ages.
Bump |
| 1.0 awful | TheShatInShatter | June 7th 12 | All remnants of originality (stuff that could "scare people", or whatever it is that hypermasculine chest-beaters think music should do) were discarded in favor of laughably augmented brostep. Not to say that all-electronic arrangements make poor hip-hop, just that they shouldn't be used to achieve the same effect as metal guitars. Idk, this album seems to be all the rage, though, so it seems unlikely to me that Death Grips will ever look back. Meh. The revolution *will* be televised.
Bump |
| 3.0 good | jjwitt | May 2nd 12 | For a few days, I thought this was THE new shit. Then my ears just hurt. It's interesting and
novel, but ultimately the beats are subpar, especially when they aren't heavy or "raw" enough
to achieve that aggressiveness that seems a worthy goal in itself. The lyrics are generally
good, and I personally dig Ride's delivery. Especially when he sounds genuinely angry, which
is unfortunately lost for a fair portion of the record. Much better than Exmilitary, but that
wasn't hard.
