What a great day to get a new Eminem album. As any Em album, it takes time to study and see what actually grows on you. I've had a busy day with a 3:45 am call to hit the gym, very busy day at work, pick up my children for the weekend, cook dinner, get ready for work in the morning....so I haven't had time to study the album. So I know FOR SURE my favorite songs and what sticks with me, what grows on me, what I get tired of, etc will change drastically with longevity. But in my little sneaks away to listen when the kids are playing with each other and I get to jam on my headphones, here are my favorites for the first listen, and where I'd rank it album wise (knowing d--- well this will change in a month or two especially song order)...

Best to worst songs:

1. Marsh
2. Those Kind of Nights
3. Premonition
4. No Regrets
5. Darkness
6. Stepdad
7. You Gon Learn
8. I Will
9. Godzilla
10. Unaccomodating
11. Lock It Up
12. Yah Yah
13. Never Love Again
14. Leaving Heaven
15. Little Engine
16. In Too Deep
17. Farewell

And where I'd rank the album currently on his albums....

1. Eminem Show
2. Marshall Mathers LP
3. Recovery
4. Slim Shady LP
5. Marshall Mathers LP 2
6. Relapse
7. Kamikaze
8. Music to be Murdered by
9. Encore
10. Revival

I know at least the song order will change drastically, but that's just what's caught my ear right now with my little changes while listening before studying.

I think there’s to many songs on this album.

he should of kept it short and simple like Kamikaze and it would of been one of the better albums of his career. It’s only day one. The s--- songs may grow on me. Who knows

I listen this album 3x times so now i can make my verdict
so, i like the album, this is what Revival supposed to be, but i have 2 problems with this project

1 - the project has no meaning, no target, theme, central idea, nothing, sound like left over from Kamikaze and revival and that leads to the second problem
2 - is not good mixed and produced, like, the beats are ok, its not crazy, the first 2 songs slaps, the song with .paak is good produced too, but the rest of the album is a bunch of revival kinda beats, with less rock samples...
i mean... they are not bad, but i feel like confused in some songs, like on several songs with a f---ing piano/synth/guitar cord comes in every f---ing hook with no connections with the beats, bombs after the verses, noises of wind, people walking, birds, cars.... like, with no sense, man, Yah Yah song IS TRASH, f---ing TRASH, how can em' let they put this f---ing NOISE on the WHOLE BEAT... Jesus, is annoying, i can't hear the song, hurt my ears, for real, and the hooks on this album is kinda better, but still a problem on em's projects, they are simple, wack mixed, and they are no catchy, at all... but the guests on this album make good hooks, at least, skylar hook is beautiful, ed sheeran hook is better than on River, anderson paak k--- that s---, juice wrld (RIP) has a prety good hook too, nice song, is sad the kid is not alive to see this joint, juice was a stan, huge fan of eminem, RIP.

so this album have the same problem as Kamikaze (on the last tracks), Revival (the whole album is mixed with somebody a---), MML2 (i liked this album but f--- rick rubin with this wack a--- samples), Shady XV (so many good punchlines and verses wasted on this s---... d---), Southpaw (same as shady xv) , i like em' producing, but man, let good people mix your s---
i realy hope some day i will see eminem doing a album like Royce does with Premier, Freddie Gibbs with madlib, STRAIGHT HIP HOP!

so let's go track for track
1. "Premonition" (Intro) - for me is the best song on the album, FIRE, everything is on point, flow, beat, lyrics, mixing, 10/10
2. "Unaccommodating" (featuring Young M.A) - this beat SLAPS, M.A is the best female rapper out there, eminem ride this beat like a champ, i cant even have to talk about the speedflow, BEAST 9/10
3. "You Gon' Learn" (featuring Royce ) - well, this mixing is confused as f--- a lot noise on the hook, the volume start get lound like what ??? what reason, but royce go hard, eminem too as usual, the beat is good but the bad mixing f--- this 'ok' hook... 6/10
4. "Alfred" (interlude) - ok
5. "Those Kinda Nights" (featuring Ed Sheeran) - fun music, i can see Lil Dicky featuring this song, beat is enjoyable, eminem's flow is aawsome, reminds me some old s---, like "My Fault" , ed hook is good too, like that more than River 8/10
6. "In Too Deep" - confused beat, wack mixing again, lyrics fun, i don't like the flow but THIS f---ing WACK HOOK... OMG, WHY? 4/10
7. "Godzilla" (featuring Juice Wrld) - s--- SLAPS, beat, hook, verses, JUICE WRLD k--- THAT s--- (RIP) em riding that s--- like your mom with your daddy 9/10
8. "Darkness" - Hardest song on the album, realy emotional, old em vibes, powerful song, a new masterpiece 10/10
9. "Leaving Heaven" (featuring Skylar Grey) - Finally a good hook with skylar, simple and good beat 7/10
10. "Yah Yah" (featuring Royce da 5'9", Black Thought, Q-Tip and Denaun) - I CAN'T BELIAVE EMINEM MAKE A SONG WITH f---ing Q-TIP & BT AND PUT THIS LEGENDS ON THESE UNLISTENABLE BEAT, f--- YOU MR. PORTER! 3/10
11. "Stepdad" (Intro) - ok
12. "Stepdad" - Why this song make the cut?? Revival wack a--- vibe 4/10
13. "Marsh" - Dope punchlines here, i dont feel that beat, but eminem rides perfect - 5.5/10
14. "Never Love Again" - MAN, AGAIN Why this song make the cut?? Revival wack a--- vibe 4/10
15. "Little Engine" - again, wack beat, good lines, em wast so many good verses on this kinda song, man... 6/10
16. "Lock It Up" (featuring Anderson Paak) - PAAK k--- THAT s---, MAAAAANNN WHAT A HOOK, d---, I LOVE THIS MAN VOICE, nice beat btw, eminem riding another song, i can see Big Quint dancing on that s--- 10/10
17. "Farewell" - AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN, Why this song make the cut?? Revival wack a--- vibe 4/10
18. "No Regrets" (featuring Don Toliver) - no more fake tracklists with this name song HAHAHAHa, ok, good song, nice hook 6.5/10
19. "I Will" (featuring Kxng Crooked, Royce da 5'9" and Joell Ortiz) - MAN I WANT TO SEE THE NEXT JOE BUDDEN PODCAST HAHAHA, dope song 8/10
20. "Alfred" (Outro) - ok

FINAL VERDICT: 7/10
AGAIN, ANOTHER BAD MIXED ALBUM, WITH A LOT OF WACK BEATS AND WACK HOOKS, I CAN SEE EMINEM... I SEE YOU, YOU MAKE A BETTER ALBUM, BUT WHY THIS HOOKS? WHY THIS UNEXPIRED LOVE SONGS? WHY? 20 SONGS? THIS CUT CAN BE EASYLY 15... I'MA STAN, HUGE EMINEM FAN, BUT I WANT A HIP HOP ALBUM, WHY EM' DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE ''DON'T FRONT''??? LIKE ROYCE DOES....
MAN I LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE I LIKE EMINEM, AS A ALBUM, IS REALY UNSTABLE, 10/10 SONGS WITH 3/10 ON THE SAME PROJECT
AT LEAST THIS ONE HAS MORE REPLAY VALUE THAN REVIVAL...

Posting "RIP someone" on social media means nothing

 

Jan 17, 2020

This is one of the best beats in a while. Very impressive.

 

Jan 17, 2020

Cant wait for the day people listen to music and give albums time and let life happen so they can come back and pick a song they weren't feeling before from an album and play it and vibe to it cause life aligned and the music's good

 

Jan 17, 2020

Don't mind me. Just posting some GOAT Em material to help cleanse the ears of people who had to endure this trash.

So just finished, bit of a weird album tbh

Started off strongly with the intro (one of the best songs), then track 2 and 3 were good (some kami vibez and flow)

Those kinda nights is boring and don't think Eminem has been good at these type of songs since Encore (like one shot two shot), he's too old for it and it comes off as corny and immature. The beat was alright though

From the Ed track to Yah Yah it sounds a bit all over the place. Darkness is good, some of Leaving Heaven sounded good and was interesting, but it also felt a bit flat, I actually liked Yah Yah

From the middle to the end of the album it feels clunky. Too many love songs again, no real distinctive sound, and although some of the love songs were more enjoyable than previously it's just tiring as f--- to hear

Some interesting sounds on this Album though, lock it up, no regrets and I will was a pretty strong ending. It does sound like what Revival should have been. Some elements of Kami on here and I like that he was a bit more experimental with his beats and features, but a lot of forgettable s--- too on first listen.

I would rate it a 7 and for the point he is at in his career this is probably the best you're gonna get.

Best songs: Premonition, Darkness, No Regrets
