Revival doesnt have the feeling of an album. Thank god he blessed us with an great album a few months later

Revival was a 4/10 and that’s being nice.

i like normal. I think its catchy, not my fav from the album but its good for me. Yeah, nice guy could be cut off from the album. I also dont like Kamikaze (the song) until the beat switch

Revival was just cursed from the beginning.

The fact that it was Em's first album in 4 years, I would expect a rapper with his experience and talent to drop something more cohesive and have some more dope tracks, especially with the fact that he spends all his time in the studio making music.

Let's not forget the piss poor promotion this album received. The whole thing with the tv add not getting noticed for 2 weeks made his promotional team look amateur. Then to do the whole Pomsomp Hills references on that Ask About Revival site led fans to believe that it may be a return to some Relapse type material. Couldn't have been further from it.

Then when the tracklist and features were revealed it was pretty clear that this album was Recovery 2.

Aside from the first few tracks transitioning pretty well together, Em relied too much on having other singers on hooks. No rap features aside from Phresher, I don't include him because I could just about understand a word he said

I'm glad he was able to come back with Kamikaze and let's hope Em has cut all ties with Rick Rubin.

Normal was necessary to break the first-3-tracks fire. It was like the calm in the middle and i found it very well placed.

Also i like the beat switch at the end when he comes in with another flow right after of that mylo thing lol

But yeah, i agree with nice guy, useless af

For me "nice guy" and "good Guy" are one song. Good guy needed nice guy to increase the impact.
The only song that i felt out of place is stepping stones. Yes is a good song but for me killed the vibe of the album.

Killshot sounds WAY better really f---in' stoned.

Got you at your own wake, I'm the billy goat
You ain't never made a list next to no Biggie, no Jay
Next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho, you about to really blow
Kelly, they'll be putting your name
Next to Ja, next to Benzino—die, MFer!
Like the last MFer sayin' Hailie in vain
Alien brain

Kinda agree but I'm glad we had all those songs too. Non of them were bad, Normal doesn't have replay value to me but I wouldn't mind it. Stepping Stone kinda feels out of place as other 3 songs but that's not even a problem for me at all, the song is a classic. Nice Guy is not as bad as ppl say it is. Good Guy is just another classic, if Em would have rapped about s---, that flow and beat would be a classic anyway lol. Kamikaze is the only Em album I've liked every track in it with first few listens since The Eminem Show and today, after a year I can still listen to it and enjoy it as a whole (Normal & Nice Guy lost their replay values but so did songs like Say What You Say in The Eminem Show) it's early to say too much but I feel like I might be calling Kamikaze the 4th classic few years later...

Still bump kamikaze all the way through.

This. Nothing more to add.

Just listened to it. Not even skipping a song. I gotta say tho, production is one of the keys of the success of Kamikaze. Beats are really good compared to previous Em albums since Relapse. That helps a lot with the replay value.

MMLP2 is decent.
Revival is s---, even worse than encore
