Jul 13, 2024 Revival really seemed like it was going to songs like Believe/Castle/Arose etc and he got caught up in politics and decided to change it
Jul 13, 2024 To me, Revival was Em trying (and failing, miserably) to be mature and getting a new style. The complete opposite to The Death Of Slim Shady.
Jul 13, 2024 Rehashes of old content & sounds. It’s called REVIVAL. Tragic Endings/Castle/Need Me/Like Home/River = Recovery Bad Husband, Remind Me & Heat = MMLP2 Offended = Slim Shady Framed = Relapse Etc.
Jul 13, 2024 I didn't catch the new style, I always saw it as a mishmash of his s--- post hiatus (done horribly of course) especially the recovery/mmlp2 god it was terrible
Jul 13, 2024 Exactly. It’s a mishmash of the WORST elements of Em’s career up to that point. TDOSS managed to do a similar concept but utilising the old style (especially with the help of the AI tools), creating a brand new narrative to tie it all together too. It’s a more fully fledged out & correct approach to a similar concept.
Jul 13, 2024 I've never seen it that way. I mean, that's just... Marshall Mathers' mind. All of his albums have that. What changes from album to album are his cadences, flows, production, voices. In two words: The sound. But he'll always have one or two emotional/love songs. A few shock value/crazy songs. A few corny songs. A few funny ones. A few dead serious ones and a few that are very personal, about his life. It's just who he is as a rapper.
Jul 13, 2024 Yeah, it’s also not the end of him being a good guy who going to take his vitamins and drink his milk. On the very song he explains the concept of the album with GC2, he rinses David Carradine to the shady persona. Eminem will always be Eminem.
Jul 13, 2024 Take Recovery and MMLP2 and then play Revival. A completely different voice, a different way of recording, less vocal layering/harmonies and he introduced the horrendous choppy flow. That's the new style.
Jul 13, 2024 It still baffles me it came out the way it did, I can't find an explanation for it, I understand the "Yes men" argument up to a point but... was em f---ing deaf?
Jul 13, 2024 It’s not that you’re wrong, it’s just a redundant way to describe his albums, there’s still themes with them. Since Recovery though he’s been stuck in limbo between different parts of his fanbase, & obviously his self expression as an artist. That’s why the albums end up sounding like mixtapes.
Jul 13, 2024 Celeb reactions: Jay Z : on replay all day Chris Brown: best album in a long time Katy Perry: He’s back!! Cardi B: track 2 the best on this FOR SURE! Rihanna: where is my feature?? Nicki Minaj: an albummmmm! anyone seen any other reactions?
Jul 13, 2024 I really think a Dre feature was needed at some point on this album. Dre is just done doing anything new I guess! We’ve got to get at least one final Em, Dre, 50 song, even if Em just ghostwrites all the verses lol
Jul 13, 2024 Yeah, it's his modern sound done WORSE that's why it may sound different but it's what he's trying to replicate with the topics and delivery, the choppy flow was introduced in MMLP2/ShadyXV up to an extent, the fax/printer horrendous choppy flow was introduced in revival
