    I don’t like the album. There are like 5 songs that I really like and the rest I don’t care for.

    Hoping this is the “b” side from his forthcoming retirement album.

    Revival is trash. Worst Eminem Album.
    I only like believe because sounds fresh. Castle and arose are cool but not in the level of deja vu or going throught changes.
    Today like home came out in shuffle and i feel so f---ing ashamed.
    Yes, it have some good ideas but the ejecution is poor. Same problem of mmlp2 but a least mmlp2 have songs like bad guy, evil twin, dont front, groundhod day.
    This album sounds lazy, lazy as f---, even more lazy than encore. There are a PINK SONG in an eminem album. This cant be defended.

    Tbh I don't really care about what he says if the song is trash. He could say some of the best stuff to date but if the flow is a pain in the a--- to listen to and the music overall sucks, just not interested.

    At the end of the day, it's called music and music is supposed to sound good. If I just wanted to hear somebody talk i'd listen to a podcast. I'm sure the guy in the podcast would flow better.

    I swear I hear this s--- at least 100 times every time Eminem drops an album. Basically you thought it was s--- on the first few listens but since it's Eminem you played it again and again, to finally convince yourself, hey it's actually pretty good.

    I would bet my left ball that half the people saying this album is good after several listens would have thrown that s--- in the trash where it belongs after the first playthrough if it was from any other artist. But hey, it's Eminem.

    Don't worry, I get it. I really wanted to like it too. But this is just too much.

    @Koolo was right.

    :lol3:

    I have it another few spins and the s--- is diggity dope.

    :sweatt:

    Gonna get killed in album reviews but is a good album. The way he brought back all his styles from through this career is crazy impressive. Can’t think of anyone else that could pull this off.

    And don’t get me started on the castle arose connection.

    :futuaface:

    Do you still b beleive?

    I was literally starting to feel the same way and thought I was crazy.... I was literally shi--ing on this album yesterday and now the mess I thought it was all makes sense to me now for some reason, it’s hard to explain but @Koolo pretty much got what I was feeling

    This will go down as Eminem’s Yeezus and will be regarded as better than MMLP2, Recovery, Relapse, and Encore no doubt.

    I wonder if critics are gonna realize this albums beauty.... it really does take a few listens

    Great album overall. Not a fan of the pink song and the link I have doesn't have offended but I hear it's s---. Still very pleased with the album.

    This album is dope las I said in my initial assessment. If he cut out Rubin and replaced with Dre it would be classic. I have a feeling he’s going to have a lot of songs on the bodied soundtrack

    Spatula Relapse is a masterpiece

    Thats the thing with any music. Familiarity becomes liking. You could listen to a homeless guy banging on trash cans and eventually you'd start to like it
