    How does appeasing dumbasses make things any better? Besides, while they are thematically the same, they sound pretty awful too.

    How hard is it to grasp that Slim Shady is a fictional character and Marshall Mathers isn't?

    I think he’s just supposed to be in his Slim Shady persona with the transgender bashing.

    Wait until you find out that he didn't murder Dre in 2000.

    Clearly he is pro trans rights as anyone should be. it’s just tongue in cheek music if you think otherwise you really lost the plot

    Man,

    What an enjoyable experience. I genuinely loved this album. Or love I should say

    The way the voices were crashing into each other. he took the concept of “Evil Twin” and added steroids to it.

    The flows were zany and cartoonish and d--- near perfect

    The beats complemented him well.


    The subject matter at first left me worried. I thought he was going to pump fake through the whole album. Then, he said f--- it and locked in

    The jokes were actually funny. Like, the humor felt like his dark and twisted humor from previous years. It really felt like he went in a Time Machine and grabbed the old Em back

    The Diddy lines. Oh the Diddy lines. Lol. And why was he going in on Bruce Jenner through half the album. That felt old school too. He picks a target and just bullies them through the album

    Features were cool. Great even. Everyone brought it.

    The concept was great, but, I have my criticisms with it. Mainly, towards the end I felt like it didn’t land. The sequence felt off. Did he Em die too? I understand the “Temporary” song, but “Somebody save me” right after the Ken skit felt…..off.

    Doesn’t take away from the tracks though. Both were amazing. It just felt, tacked on or out of sequence.


    Overall, I love this album. Did he top MMLP and TES? No. He never will and that’s fine.

    Is TDOSS and TSSLP in a battle right now? Yes. Absolutely. At least for me

    Score at the moment: 9/10

    I think it’s a pretty dense album. Really took my third listen for songs to really start separating themselves.

    They also both tie into the actual death concept

    God Brand New Dance just makes me think of how many other fully completed 99-04 songs are a click away from our ears in a vault somewhere

    The more I listen, the less I like it. It's pretty mid. Some great tracks, some mediocre tracks, and some poo tracks, even in quantity, tbh.

    The good songs;

    Renaissance
    Evil
    Antichrist
    Fuel
    Houdini
    Guilty Conscience 2

    The meh songs;
    Tobey
    Habits
    Somebody Save Me
    Trouble
    Temporary
    Lucifer

    The awful songs;
    Brand New Dance
    Road Rage
    Head Honcho
    Bad One

    I'll probably never revisit most of the "meh" and "awful" tracks. It's like a 5/10 for me on repeat listen.

    The comical thing that these days he even f---ing states his positions, so it doesn't even need analyzing or reading between the lines and yet …

    I’d bet some of the tracks we were expecting to get with Dre and 50 end up on a deluxe release in a few weeks/months. I’d bet around Christmas time.
