    it's the closest we may get to another TES.

    hoping he gets his s--- together. not sure how he can go from being able to flow on Recovery to the way he's flowing now. like holy s---

    I f---ing wish he would make another album like this. MMLP2 was trash and Shady xv was even worse. Got a lot of replay value also.

    Has the most replay value out of all his post-hiatus albums imo. Some decent tracks on there and is over-hated way too much.

    Breath of fresh air

    There was lots of unreached potential though

    I was just listining to Talking 2 Myself on shuffle. Great, great song. Overall imo it's average with both great and some s--- songs, but a handfull I still really enjoy.

    Was hated on so much when it first leaked and even up to a year or two afterwards it's a fantastic album with a lot of replay value going through changes is 10/10 for me

    Edit

    Also Imagine your never over was replaced with a finished version of difficult album would be a solid 9/10

    I wanted to hate this album so bad when it was in its inception. I remember thinking, I will not be disappointed by another MM CD. So I just decided to say f--- it and hate on Mellow like ever1 else. Then the album drop. My gawd. I have never been so moved. The production, passion , intensity...the horror rap screaming was near extinction. I was amazed. I feel like I'm visiting a friends grave when I listen to this cd. Timeless.

    But it's the same artist, an asterisked post hiatus ranking shouldn't be there

    No songs after his hiatus are 10's. The only ones that can have a strong case made for them are Deja Vu and Nut Up.

    Nut up no question but I feel GTC is better than de Ja vu and I think it's 10/10 for new Eminem
