    Em has definitely allowed his vocals to clip a lot on this album, especially on Fine Line, to the point you can even hear where he/his engineers has turned down the level on a word or two to make it less noticeable. But listening through monitor speakers you can really hear it. I assume it was intentional anyway...

    Ive noticed Fine Line is getting a lot of props but I can't honestly get into that song purely on the fact of Eminems choppy flow and his delivery

    Vegas has to be the best for me

    Nothing special about the album. But then again my expectations weren't high at all. Probaly won't be replaying most of it.

    Its ok. Most feels like its just rapping for the sake of rapping, no substance. Its nothing special but it also not terrible. 5/10. Its average.

    ^^Notice that Psychopath Killer line he says? Psychopath Killer was definitely made in the "lab..." Im sure they were like I wonder how psychotic this will make an individual if they listen to it 50 times a day...THe song has replay value like a muthafukker and the content is insane....Very aggressive song...I feel sorry for todays youth

    I think as a whole project it has a few highs and quite a lot of lows but I think everyone can agree that Eminems lyrics are dramatically getting better since his comeback

    Twisted has crazy replay value... Cant stop listening to it. Ems singing reminds me of hailies song, and yelas verse is crazy good.

    I agree. It's because we all hope to hear one style and we get another, and that pisses everyone off at first, and then when you take it for what it actually is, the way you should take all music really, it's not bad at all.

    Psychopath Killer is great. But why is this considered a Slaughterhouse song if it only has Royce and Crooked on it? Should've been labeled Bad Meets Evil featuring Crooked I and Yelawolf. Same with Detroit Vs Everybody. Should've been labeled Bad Meets Evil featuring Danny Brown, Dej Loaf, and Trick Trick (even though Trick just did the outro).

    Still very annoyed that Em had no involvement on Bane. I mean even if he didn't wanna perform on the song he could've very easily done an intro or outro on the song just to show that he actually cares about these guys in some way still. To me him not appearing on that song basically just confirmed that he'll never work with D12 again and they will never release another album.

    Vegas has grown on me so much. I love that hook. They should play the hook to this in some of those Las Vegas TV ads.

    Exactly Em changes his style every album every time he tries pleasing his fans they complain about it he's never going to win all of his fans over just take it for what it is imo i still think em is on of the best to ever do it

    I agree that Em should have been on Bane. First D12 song in ages, and he's not on it. To be fair the song isn't great anyway... Vegas is brilliant! One of the most entertaining Em verses for a while!

    The album is pretty good overall. The only song I won't listen to is Bane and Yelawolf's song and that's coming from a Yelawolf fan. Till its gone is pretty dope though

    Favourite song is Twisted for some reason lol.. Unpopular opinion, but the Yelawolf verse might be one of the best verses on the album.

    also the album did 148k, thought it would do at leats 250k

    Couldn't make it past the first half of the track to hear Yela's verse lol.. Is that 148k worldwide sales? Shady stays losing with their s-----y promo, especially when they feel Eminem on a project will garner sales no matter what.
