    Most of the time I do not know what the band is doing in this album or even with their career. The album is far from consistent and jarring.
    Best Tracks: Death Grips Is Online, Shtshow, Streaky, Outro?... :|, Disappointed
    Worst Tracks: Flies, Black Paint, Linda In Custody, Little Richard, Horn Interlude, Dilemma, Hahaha

    Tracks run the usual gamut, aggregating pop references and stylistic tropes from the entire history of hiphop, rock, punk, techno and their esoteric subgenres, and assembling them into a harrowing Frankenstein that’s more sardonic than revelatory. [Sep 2018, p.50]

    There is a definite leaning towards a more straightforward form, which in this case arrives with the heavier implementation of rock music motifs. And that is also the main element that makes the album the band's most entertaining and fun release yet, albeit not its best.

    Not one of their releases is the same as another, and with Year of the Snitch, they continue to break boundaries and expectations. The record is another example of true experimentation with their sound along with an uncompromising work ethic and a thirst for originality.
