The Musiquarium’s Jenny Death Review Score: 10 out of 10

If Niggas on the Moon was too strange with its Björk vocal samples, then the rap metal of Jenny Death might be the antidote, as its far more easy to digest. While this is still Death Grips, the guitar-centric sound (courtesy of Nick Reinhart) gives it more of a rock/punk/metal style to the music.

I Break Mirrors With My Face in the United States is fast-paced and manic, like something a crack head might sounds like as you pass by the sketchiest ATM in your city. Inanimate Sensation is a wild ride, with vocal noises that sound like an engine shifting gears on the highway. Turned Off and Centuries of Damn both cast a sludgy, doom-like shadow.

Why a Bitch Gotta Lie is what I imagine an android on virtual crack would sound like. Death Grips’ Pss Pss would definitely frighten cats away. The title track sounds like a No Love Deep Web era cut. Beyond Alive and On GP have plenty of killer guitar work. Death Grips 2.0 is a neurotic instrumental closer.

While Niggas on the Moon was an accomplished experiment, Jenny Death is even better in its execution, making for one of Death Grips best albums yet.
