To give your opinion? Been jamming to this lately. Digging: Kim Petras - Clarity. I will definitely keep all that in mind the next time I write. Review Summary: Hybrids are great for a lot of things - does the theory hold for rap? Rank: 0 for It's a weird world we live in these days - one where emo kids suddenly want to make rap records. I guess it's a testament to the "in" thing, which is musical diversity and hosting a wide range of musical taste and talent. That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that these things translate musically or fit together as good as record execs seem to want them to.
The result is a record that feels a little overreaching, but one that isn't really all that bad either. The lyrics and piano lead beats are pretty repetitive, but Grieves has a flow that is pretty convincing and more than makes up for the shortcomings found throughout the rest of the album. October In The Graveyard is one of the standout tracks, and its the only one like it on the entire album - I definitely feel like Grieves should have focused on that darker and edgier atmosphere a little more.
Beyond October In The Graveyard, Gwenevieve is my absolute favorite song - and probably the saving grace of a 3 rating rather than a 2. The song carries a heavy amount of emotion, a very solid beat and a nice guitar riff put down by Budo layered with Grieves best flow on the record. He sings his way through the beat rather than rapping over it. Lucky for him he's got a great sounding voice either way! Grieves told me that this is one of the songs he's "more proud of" and I can see why.
The track adds versatility to him as a rapper, singer, song writer and beat master! Overall this CD is a great piece of art. It's the type of CD that not only grows on you but consumes you! I'm definitely excited to hear the CD evolve in my ears through time. Be sure to check out my man Grieves on his myspace page where you can also pre-order the new CD "88 Keys And Counting".

Although ultimately an intense album, there are a few breaks with sounds like "Identity Cards" featuring Luckyiam of Living Legends fame and "Greedy Bitch", a catchy break up song that will be stuck in your head for days after hearing it.
