Jul 18, 2024 The concept and lyrics are fine but the main beat is so d--- boring, it ruins the first 4 minutes for me.
Jul 18, 2024 Can't be more r-----ed than gobbling up Em's recycled s--- from revival and half assed recycled s--- at that
Jul 18, 2024 If y'all go back and listen to the two episodes that Feature Em like I did two nights ago, you will understand why he decided to include Temporary and Somebody Save Me on this album.
Jul 18, 2024 The whole thing feels forced and half assed to me, idk if it was intended or not but everything feels like Em saying "you crying yet? this is supposed to make you sad" Idk, the execution doesn't feel genuine, idk how to explain it properly right now
Jul 18, 2024 Temporary would have been better without Eminems verses. Recordings and the hook, was sticks out to me and is the emotional part to it. Eminems verses so short that it’s pretty forgettable and can’t call anything of the top of my head that he says that strikes a cord with me. Not a slight on him, as Arose, When I’m Gone is top tier in that aspect but for this instance, Eminems verses is the worse part of it and wasn’t needed imo. Dig the concept of the song and tone, as it got me choked up for a minute when hearing the recordings.
Jul 18, 2024 Same feeling with Bad Husband, feels weirdly emotionally manipulative in a way that doesn't hit lol. Bad Husband is especially egregious though "No I swear I'm a good person, I may have abused you but it was mutually. I'm a good dad I swear! I'm such a smol bean"
Jul 18, 2024 THERE YOU GO, that's exactly it Bad Husband is beyond tho, that's what I was saying about Revival being fake-introspective, there is no introspection if you have a "but" for every flaw you find in yourself, b----
Jul 18, 2024 Kinda stupid. I'm sure people have bought them, especially as they put out another, otherwise they probably wouldn't have, so they're probably working well.. But, just feels like they've wasted the prime physical copy sales primetime by having them... not available, for 3 months. I mean I know you can buy them now but, I'm sure it'll put a lot of people off vs. being able to receive it tomorrow or in days.
Jul 18, 2024 Eminem on soulful pianos and basically making it basic when rapping, as if he is talking basically is never a good mix. Walk On Water, Bad Husband, Temporary and Bad Guy all sound forced and as if he is struggling to not rap. Just doesn’t suit him. Still bending and stretching syllables when he is rap talking but sounds forced and s--- when he is doing it. Pianos and minimal to no drums, just amplifies that.
Jul 18, 2024 That head honcho verse is f---in sick, it sounds like some encore s--- (yellow brick road specifically)
