    I really, honestly, truly... don't know what Revival and TDOSS have in common? Not just from an aesthetical point of view or even the sound itself. I have absolutely no way to make a connection between those two albums, so please explain what you meant.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
