Nov 15, 2011There are times where Grieves really does resonate--whether talking about childhood, heartbreak, or other matters.
-
Sep 6, 2011Grieves still knows how to make catchy, emotive indie rap with the best of them.
-
Aug 1, 2011Grieves is more than game to match his collaborator's slick, itchy Okayplayerisms, switching between rapping and singing as his partner stacks up the soul chords and funk flourishes.
-
Jul 19, 2011Effective as it is, that voice wears thin over the run of Together/Apart's 16 mostly guest-free tracks, as Grieves' interchangeable choruses and pensive verses about lost youth and addiction's pull begin to bleed together.
-
Jul 11, 2011While producer Budo creates melancholy set pieces--from the funereal piano of "Bloody Poetry" to the soulful organ grinding of "Heartbreak Hotel"--Grieves shines as a friendly, thoughtful voice, gladly ready to share secrets.
-
Jul 11, 2011Overall Together/Apart is a very good record, and a few minor missteps from being a great one.
-
Jul 11, 2011It's a decent addition to the artist's already impressive resume, but fails to arrest the same attention his earlier releases are famous for.
-
Jul 11, 2011An easy recommendation for its obvious audience, but Together/Apart is a bit more than that as well, giving the genre of indie hip-hop some mass appeal whenever it decides to wild out.
-
Jul 11, 2011Together/Apart is musical therapy for those who find themselves caught under the pressures of life.
-
Dec 19, 2011Most of the tracks emulate what could be B-Sides of a post-Lemons Ant, doing nothing so groundbreaking as regurgitating mid-90's soul.
-
Jul 11, 2011He and Budo's work together are a perfect match throughout the album. The lines are well crafted, and poignant, and the music is thoughtfully composed to match.
