    Glad people are finally admitting MMLP2 is s---. Such a bad, bad album.

    f---ing loving the Twisted track right now... Yelawolf's verse is amazing.. Em's "singing" is also really good to listen to for some reason, even though he cant really sing.. just something about it, best track on the album for me.

    I can't believe people are citing Vegas as one of the better tracks. In my opinion it's a perfect example of what's wrong with the way modern day Eminem raps (random beat drops, trying to fit too many words into one bar, thinking it's "edgy" to write a line about raping Iggy Azaelia). Admittedly, I do like the beat, but other than the part where he immitates the Versace flow, it's overly cluttered, abrasive in a bad way, and just sounds like noise to me.

    Die Alone might have the worst intro on the entire album, sounds like a dull elevator tune or a game of Mario Kart on the Wii starting :'(. Plus, the chorus and beat are absolutely horrendous and unlistenable. It even has a Recovery-era s-----y punchline: "Damnit Im drawin' blanks like I'm playing hangman". Looks like I'll keep Vegas, Lose Yourself and Fine Line and get rid of the rest.

    Agreed btw with Fine Line not living up to it's potential. When I heard the snippet I was hoping that the bridge was actually part of the chorus and that there'd be some sort of climax to it at the end of the song. I did a quick edit in Ableton to squeeze the bridge into every chorus, but Eminem should've done a better job with this song. Ill upload it later for whoever is interested.

    You'll listen through this album like ''Uhm I guess this song is okay, holy s--- this song sucks'' and then you'll get Lose Yourself demo thrown at your face as the last song and realize how that demo song is light years ahead of anything recorded and said on the whole album

    Every time I read an Eminem tweet I wonder if they could make it any more obvious it isn't actually him writing them.

    I can appreciate what he's doing on this album, but I can see why some wouldn't like it.

    Also Fine Line was very good but it could have and should have been so much more. He had an all-time classic on his hands with that track. The bridge should have been the hook. No excuses. We should have heard that two or three times at least. The outro s----d. It really reminded me of Shorty Wanna Be A Thug and didn't really fit the song. And electric guitar outro like his old s--- would have just been>>>>>>>>>>> Bad decision. Also the build up of that third verse was so great but I was kind of let down when he started talking about the Outsidaz or whoever. Really wish it was about Proof, himself, h---... even D12. The Outsidaz s--- was really random. Still a very good song. Light years above anything on MMLP2.

    It's his only song on the album without the forced, off beat, choppy flow. Feels very Recovery-esque, which is great until that awful chorus comes in.

    The album isnt bad, but it isnt really good either, im not feeling em's new style. It just isnt pleasing to the ear like his old style. I guess its time for a change, but i wish it was a change for the better.
