The Musiquarium’s The Powers That B Review Score: 10 out of 10

Comprised of the previous year’s Niggas on the Moon and the more recent Jenny Death, The Powers That B is one of the greatest, most innovative double albums of the decade.

The first half of the album features some of Death Grips’ most experimental work yet, with songs primarily made out of chopped-up Björk samples, whereas the second half is guitar-centric, branching out into the worlds of rock, metal and hardcore punk.

Initially, these two halves of a whole may seem like they have nothing in common, but they fit together like a yin and a yang, making for a dynamic and thrilling double album that has both cohesion and variety.
