    All opinions.

    But I think if you spoke to most, they'd have one of Tha Carter albums on their favourites. For me, Tha Carter II is a classic.

    I get what you mean, in the sense that he's done a lot of low level diluted s--- over the years, done experiments that didn't work (like Em), so I would put him a rung under your Ye's and Em's. But to say he's not had culture defining albums is just wrong.

    Wayne is a GOAT

    He's made some mid and bad stuff sure but lets not act like Kanye and Em didn't make a lot of garbage too

    Still enjoying the album loads, some tracks I weren't sure about have even grown on me, like Bad One (it was mainly because I wasn't keen on the first verse, so didn't give the song a chance). Same with Head Honcho, only part I kind of blank over is the part where he goes bilingual for a little bit too long, but it's not a big deal.

    But one i'm still struggling to get past is Road Rage. I skip it when it comes on if i'm listening properly. Hook isn't amazing, but it's fine. Quirky, amped up, whatever. Beat is so-so, but he's had worse. But I just can't get in to his verses. It genuinely sounds like he did a couple of demo verses for different songs, then copied and pasted them on. When the bridge comes about eating food, I sink in to my seat.

    But who knows, it might grow on me like others. Also, depending on your situation, songs hit different. When I was like 12, I used to bump Drips because I found it hilarious and loved the flow in the last part of Em's verse - Now, I skip it. I guess thats music.

    Bad one kinda comes to life later on, first part is a little boring. He says mgk taking shots at him again is that true? Didn't see anyone mention that here lol

    I honestly don't dislike any song here. Just some parts like ez mills verse on HH, Eminems choppy verse on Evil, and Bad One first half bores me a little.

    And the bonus tracks I don't like at all I wouldn't replace any song on the album with them tbh

    919 listens later. Enough time has passed boys..

    Eminem dropped his best album since Relapse. 100%, no doubt in my mind

    Is it just me or do the cancel culture bars / Caitlin Jenner references not stick out as bad so many listens later? It's a major criticism with the reviewers but what sticks out for me the most after multiple listens is how Eminem put out a really good album in 2024

    Its so sad that he will probably read most reviews from hipsters that don't know s--- about his story, his past. So they will just think its weird not understanding the 'shady' character, his past, the flows and voices he uses, the references. This is a huge part of liking this album. Most fans (not anyone and thats fine) really appreciate this album and I totally agree its really good and enjoyable!

    The album really is for the hardcore fans in my opinion, takes being well aware of em and his past output to truly appreciate it; majority of these people writing the reviews probably haven’t even heard the SSLP in its entirety.

    It’s kind of giving Marvel. Which I know he likes but its also what’d hard with Marvel movies nowadays. Usually you need to have seen 40 movies beforehand to understand it all. This album kind of the same.
    Its good.
    But its epic if you heard all his albums

    What I don't like about it is that it's not a very good song.

    Forced and poorly written.

    Man his singing on hooks is unbelievable. Should done it more on album. Those singing hooks right before last verse on habits, evil hook, singing part on houdini etc. So good

    I think this will be a comfortable 4th for me as more time goes by

    and that’s not even to knock MTBMB because I think it gets overlooked. But this just hits different
