    It sucks because Wow then Believe is one of the best openings to an Em album in his entire career, then the rest of the album goes to s---. When I first heard those 2 songs first I thought it was about to be a masterpiece, I was very wrong.

    Also Revival has one of the best endings of an Em album ever

    It’s a real shame about all the s--- in the middle lol

    Didn't know that. I would have much preferred that, yes. But one of the biggest issues with the whole album was the huge a-list celebrity hooks.

    Although I must add, Guts Over Fear is one of my favorite songs by him in the last decade.

    Would this have changed anyone’s sentiment ahead of Revival’s release?

    Walk on water just needed a beat. I have no idea what was going threw his head to not have a beat.

    Revival should have been cut down to a EP and the reaction for it would have been fine.


    1.) walk on water (with beat)
    2.) Believe
    3.) chloraseptic
    4.) River
    5.) Framed
    6.) In your head
    7.) Castle
    8.) Arose
    9.). Chloraseptic remix

    Hate all you want but imo those two verses on GOF were the last time that Eminem sounded like Eminem.

    Agreed, wish he did more of his own. Anyway, he needed to do that to get to where he is now...

    I still think Revival was meant to be something entirely different. Even the branding from that Trevor crap, Dr Dre etc it was all different. Also feel like nobody will ever know.

    I don’t understand the hate on WOW

    It would change the reaction a lot. Just because it was beatless, people were mad as f--- including myself. It was his first song in years and we expected a trapish or Lock it up type of beat but all we got was nothing lol. Untouchable was even a worse choice for a single. They just did the worst job with single choices. It might have been received better and definitely made better numbers otherwise. Walk on Water is as good as the best Em album opener and so is Believe. Revival also arguably had the best ending sequence on an Em album ever. I wouldn't say the album was sonically pleasing and there were some filler songs but in overall, the main problems were all about beat selections and pop features. But the same flows and lyrics over more of Kamikaze type of beats, I bet there will be many people changing their minds about it.

    I love Walk On Water weirdly. It was a very unexpected single and start to the album but it really grew on me.

    No. The only thing that needs to happen with WOW is to remove Beyonce.
