    If they're good sure but you lose all the goodwill you started with on The Ringer when you starting talking about putting crest white strips in your d-ck

    i would need to go back to the other two to see how this compares, but my initial ranking has it at the bottom of his catalog with Revival and Recovery, with MMLP2 a hair above that trio.

    The bottom of his discog is awful so it's tough to rank bad albums above or below one another, but to me Revival & MMLP2 are definitely his worst projects

    yeah it's like, the first two, then eminem show, then relapse and encore, and below that it sort of flattens out for me

    8.5 gets better with age, the end leaves me wanting more.

    I mean I had extremely low expectations and honestly doubt I would have even listened to more than a song if it wasn’t for everyone (including those who hated recent Em) saying it was amazing when it first dropped.

    I overrated it a bit at first just cuz I was shocked/happy that Em dropped something I could listen to without it being a huge pain. But I mean it’s okay, I’m realizing I’m just not a big Em fan tbh, even his older s---. I went back yesterday and listened to songs I used to love and only liked bout half of them.

    5 or 6/10 for me. Way better than revival at least but nothing I’ll go back to except maybe on very rare occasions if I’m sick of listening to everything else.

    Haven't listened to Relapse in forever but I'm surprised to see you have it above Encore and the rest of the scrap heap at the bottom

    I agree with everything OP, especially that part about Nice Guy being slept on. Good headphones + that song = whew!

    Eminem background vocals on the hook, d--- great.

    The ringer= 10/10 The amount of anger is impressive and also keeping his calm is outstanding, his wordplay combine with texture of his imagination of rhyme is unreal, this track is truly a melody of pure anti stress for eminem and also for his most dedicated fans bcuz its everything you wanted him to do since 2009

    Greatest= 8.5/10 Maybe the most calm et collected he sounded on a track since « bad guy », this song is a revival for the roots for him as he extends once again his worldplay charisma as wells as unique beats and impeccable delivery, although i will love like that he demonstrate more creativity with the content of the track its still a dope track

    Lucky you= 10/10 One of the greatest eminem songs in his long list of many, this songs tho is one of the RARE ones where almost everybody can say that eminem really went in, everything about that track breathe « slim shady-esque » as he use his old tricks and go into new places at the same time. S/O to joyner lucas for giving a memorable verse also

    Normal= 8/10 This song is maybe the most soft on the album as you would say but the vibe and the eminem touch on it makes it stands out out of the revival-esque ratings, the beat switches really puts you in a good mood if you relax your ear and relax lol

    Stepping Stones=7.5/10 Now this song is my least favorite and maybe its bcuz of mmlp2 or revival but i cant stand eminem rapping over a rock beat anymore lol song is lit tho if think about the content and the delivery stan will love this song tho no doubt since its em talking about something that made their childhood

    Not Alike= 10/10 Probably the best Royce da 5’9 verse of ALL TIME, he finally manages to use his original and perfect voice that fits well in any rap songs, Em did his thing once again with powerful punchline and haymayker of disses, the beat switches is incredible too, and fits well with the song

    Kamikaze 10/10 FINALLY a funny eminem song that is actually funny lol just that deserves a 10 just bcuz lets not forget the guy is 48 fkg years old and still makes jokes about farts but this times he manages to put a smile on my face and on all others huge props to him for that

    Fall 9/10 after a couple listen this song grew alot on(in) me, the disses or I would called « the response » bcuz lets not forget all the people he insulted on this have all insulting him in the first place and this what make this track so unique bcuz he did a fan wet dreams by thanos everybody that came after him

    Nice Guy=9.5/10 the flow and the diabolic feature of jessie reyez made this song so chill, funny and pleasuring to listen to, the s--- my d-ck part remind me of WPG when eminem came to his house f----- his wife pissed on his front yard and shi--ing on him which probably explains this weirdo hatred for eminem lol

    Good Guy=11/10 This track reminds me so much of accordions by mf doom bcuz of the vibe and the sadness emotion that was put in it is something that could change a person mindset of things, a truly marshall marthers art wow classical

    Venom=9/10 A perfect way to end a an album so rich in emotion by giving one last angers with a goosebumps of a hooks that people will
    remember

    Overall=9/10 considering Astroworld is a 9/10 for me i think this album is a big steal in the 2nd round 60 pick of the nba and hopefully he dont go full r-----s on us and release a dkylar grey feature again thank you eminem

    It's tough cause they both have like, 5-6 1/10 songs. Relapse might be his best produced record though and is the last album that's "sounded" like his older ones even if the execution was off.

    You're over rating this album. This album is a 7 at most, which is considerably better than MMLP2, ShadyXV and Revival.

    Fall is the best track on the album. Best track he's made since 2010.

    i'm not trolling. the main reason i'm reacting this way is because Koolo is thinking of calling this album a classic. i don't think the album is terrible......but its not close to being great or a classic.

    koolo needs to stick to leaking songs because he's obviously not a good judge of music quality lolol

    i called it a solid 7 on release but after sitting with it it's another 6. like WPG said it's hard to call #4 after TES but regardless it's still much lower quality than the first 3.

    had fun with it tho which puts it over Revival and MMLP2
