The giant electronic bulldozer, coming to plow you into a dance hole, banging you over the head with EDM build-n-drop, mashed up samples, rockist riffage, and waves of horns, including dollop after dollop of sax riffs, more more more of everything.
It does what it comes to do. And props to Griz's show for whipping out a live horn to bring a little performance to the picture. It's telling that the best live moment I've seen from him is a mashup of RJD2's Ghostwriter - that big comin'foryah horn riff seems like the seed for Griz's entire philosophy.
Say it Loud's sincere like that. You can tell Kwiecinski's trying to do something new, something good, that he wants to move we the people. But as an album that first 6 track sequence is too blunt, too brutalist, too DANCE MOTHERFUCKER to listen to with headphones, and that's the only way it's gonna happen for an old fucker like me these days. Interludes on the second side start to break up the pacing but its too little too late, sequenced all wrong, I'm already dead 3/5
