It's really unfortunate that Cold Vein is all we'll ever hear from Cannibal Ox.2.5 averageDeath Grips ExmilitaryI really like that they sample Link Wray on "Spread Eagle Cross the Block", and I think this album could've been remarkable if they had remained at least somewhat faithful to that style. It's when they dabble in brostep (or whatever you want to call the rest of this rubbish) that this album falls by the wayside. Sampling rockabilly on a hip-hop track (for me, at least) is actually fresh and challenging; obnoxious, random, and grating bleeps and bloops make you sound like a fratboy with a computer. With that in mind, The Money Store really saddens me (or just makes me think that "Spread Eagle Cross the Block" was a fluke).1.0 awfulDeath Grips The Money StoreAll 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.
