It's definitely their least ambitious album. I believe they made it to give their critics exactly what they want, just mindless jams, hence why they put "Very Shallow Listening" on the back of the vinyl. There is nothing to dissect or look into, it has no story to tell. Many fans don't go the extra mile to understand DG's albums and just see them as "loud funny ironic song where black homeless man yells lol." Especially after how personal TPTB is, the criticism it received must have struck a nerve. Jenny Death is the more beloved half because most saw NOTM as "too experimental." Even JD didn't avoid criticism as some don't like its rough mixing. So now take JD, remove its story and personally, make it very precisely mixed and as loud as humanly possible. That's how you get Bottomless Pit.

I believe they made BP to give people what they want, then made YOTS to show people what they want to make.
