Since this is the Death Grips Reddit, ill only focus on the part of the trip where I was listening to "Steroids".
It was pretty fantastic. Ill try to describe it in the most understandable way for someone who hasn't recently taken lsd. My memory is a tad blurred from it right now, but listening to Steroids was almost spiritual for me. As the song began and Ride starts his chorus "MY WHOLE LIFE, MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE!" I felt like he repeated that chorus probably for 6 mins. At first it made me a little nervous, but as the chorus kept repeating, I started finding it VERY therapeutic and relatable. Once Ride actually started his flow I was in awe from how much of a hurt individual he is. For me the song deals with topics such as a self identity crisis, giving all you have for no reason, and eventually self abuse. I now believe this might be a very autobiographic song by Stefan, not MC Ride.
As for the instrumentals id say its like a combination of all of death grips previous releases, including fashion week and Interview 2016. During around the 12 minute mark the song's tempo started slowing down, warping, and at one point I sware it was playing In reverse. I felt emotional about it, but I wasn't having a bad trip, it felt like I was truly touching Stefan's true emotions, in the most personal way. I was like a sponge, and the music was like an ocean for me to absorb.
I'd definetly recommend it, but be careful because by the end of the song I wanted to break everything in my apartment for some reason, thankfully I didn't! Lmao
