    The review is done for views. I agree with some of the criticism about his flow & shouting but they are exaggerated. Awful review. It also doesn't mention any other artists on 1st CD just obsessed with hating on Eminem.

    Can't take their opinion seriously, they're just kanye dickriders who want all artists to be similar to him

    There are a lot of good points (even though they take it too far with some things) but the tone is so negative it's hard to take it really seriously.

    2.0 is a little to harsh, but everything else in this review is spot on. It's not a pitchfork's fault that Eminem is releasing wack music for the last ten years (with an exception of couple gems here and there).

    Remember Fruitopia? How good that sounded for a couple minutes? They'd roll out these big, beautiful kaleidoscopic ads before movies sometimes, swarming strawberries in stereo, and you'd look down at your Cherry Coke and feel somehow as though you'd failed. Of course, in the lobby's light, you came to find out that Fruitopia was not in fact made by hippies using ecologically sound methods for growing giant fruit, but rather extracted and besaccharined by the very Coca-Cola corporation that had seemed like the source of so much pancreas-punching horror not moments before. Fruitopia was, in a way, more evil than your simple soda; evil, because it tricked you into believing it was good when it wasn't.

    "Eminem has all the musicality of a leaf-blower."

    Fantastic analogy.

    The swear they write their reviews with a thesaurus trying to find the biggest words in it just to sound smart.

    Nobody's debunked a single substantive point from the review

    It's spot-on tbh

    I wouldn't give it a 2.0 and I think they are and have been harsh on Eminem, but they do make a lot of good points that are hard to refute. Referring to his constant obsession with making everything rhyme to the point where he isn't saying a thing as a tic is definitely true.

    Don't see how they can refer to the greatest hits songs as good songs that were "rescued from commercially doomed albums" though. Apart from Radioactive and Welcome To Our House, Shady Records sales have been pretty good.

    Lmao at the review. I'd agree with it. I can't wait until everyone hates fine line in 2 weeks. It f---ing sucks.
