Jul 23, 2024 Only good song on this album that will last with replay value to me is Habits rest are weak or too modern
Jul 23, 2024 Em putting out classic-like material and people still hating. No wonder the man is losing his mind.
Jul 23, 2024 My only issue with this whole rollout is that this is literally everything fans have been asking since relapse: cohesive, concept slim shady album with Dre production. And streams fell to 15M one week after release. All I can say now is brace yourselves for Recovery 2. If fans ain't supporting him, the casual listeners will. I think he really expected the fans to like this one (hence the big promo with Houdini, the teasers), but it fell short I think. Probably Interscope saw the pre-orders and predictions and changed gears.
Jul 23, 2024 Ridiculous thing to say after it only being out for a week and a half but still loving this album. Listen from front to back every time with practically no skips (only Road Rage but the hook is catchy af)
Jul 23, 2024 Idk man, I just think that Em's time has gone. I dont think Recovery 2 works in 2024 either. He's better off just pleasing his core audience
