After seeing its critique, I wasnt bothered to download the full album so I downloaded the standouT track yall are talking about- Bad Guy, Evil Twin, Baby etc. Not impressed at all and it seems his flow is the exact same scattered across every single one of those songs, like its so tight knit now that its hard to distinguish it from the rest, now .mix that with the lackluster 90s tier production to pur salt on the wound.

If those select songs are a true indication of the rest of the album n its truly his last album then it

After a few more days of listening, I gave it a 3 1/2 out of 5. I liked "Stronger Than I Was" at first, but it wore off on me really fukking quick. I also disliked "So Much Better" (some of the lyrics here are Encore-level bad), "Survival" (shouldn't have made the album at all), and "a$$hole" (the lyrics are mostly good, but the beat is godawful). Technically, there's enough good material to make a really good album, but they were designated to 'deluxe' bonus tracks. Overall, the album is decent - dunno if I like it as much as Recovery though.

If Em had released the album like this, my rating would be higher

1. Bad Guy
2. Parking Lot (Skit)
3. Rhyme or Reason
4. Desperation
5. Baby
6. Legacy
7. Groundhog's Day or Wicked Ways
8. Berzerk
9. Rap God
10. Brainless
11. Beautiful Pain
12. The Monster
13. So Far
14. Love Game
15. Headlights
16. Evil Twin

So. Cal
not feeling it at all. When u make a part 2 of a classic album, you better bring classic shyt. not the case here. Probably only gonna save 2-3 songs and even then those songs wont get much rotation. Oh well, time for the white boy to hang it up.

So many people acting like this is the wackest album ever, yet this is one of the board's most popular threads of all time. MMLP2 exceeded any expectations I had for it by miles and miles. There's a reason this album is getting great reviews.

What y'all thinkin about this track Headlights?

It might just be me but this is my favorite track right now. Haven't heard the bonus tracks yet.

I think its interesting seeing him conclude a lot of the stories we've heard through his career.

"beautiful pain" :wow:

I can feel the heat rising
Everything is on fire
Today's a painful reminder of why
We can only get brighter
The further you put it behind ya
And right now I'm on the inside
Lookin out, cause

[Hook: Sia]
I found her in the flames
There's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light


[Verse 1]
Yesterday was the tornado warning, today is like the morning after
Your world is torn in half, you wake and let's wait to start the morning process
Rebuilding and you're still a work in progress
Today is a whole new chapter, it's like an enormous ass
The thunderstorm has passed ya, your weather didn't poke his eyes out with the thorn bush that you
Used to smell the roses, stopped to inhale can't even tell your nose is stuffed
So focused on the brightside, then you floor the gas pedal, and hit the corner fast,
the more asserted, never looking back, may hit the curb, but everyday is a new learning curve,
as you, steer through life, sometimes you might not wanna swerve, but you have to, to avert a disaster, lucky, no permanent damage, cause they hurt you so bad, it's like they murdered your ass, and threw dirt on your casket, but you returned from the ashes, and that hurt that you have, you just converted to gasoline, and while you're burning the past, standing at inferno and chant

[Hook: Sia]
I found her in the flames
There's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light


So familiarize what having to swallow this pill is like
It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
And it's as though you feel you've died because you've been killed inside
But yet you're still alive which means you must survive
Although today you may weep because you're weak and
Everything seems so bleek and hopeless
The light that you're seeking, it begins to seep in
That's the only thing keeping you from leaping off the motherfreaking deep end
And I'm pulling for you to push through this feeling
And with a little time that should do the healing
And by tomorrow you may even feel so good that you're willing
To forgive them even after all that shyt you been put through
This feeling of resilience is building and the flames are burning
Quick as fire would through this building, you're sealed in
But you're fireproof and flame retardant you withstood it
And as you climb up to the roof you're just chillin and you look down
Cause you're so over them you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling

As time passes, things change everyday
But wounds, wounds heal
But scars still remaining the same
But tomorrow today's gone down in flames
Throw the match at the ? place

So feel the fire beneath your feet
As you barely even perspire from the heat
Exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief
And as you say goodbye to the grief
It's like watching the walls melt in your prison cell
But you've extinguished this living hell
Still a little piece of you dies, you scream

[Hook: Sia]
I found her in the flames
There's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light

[Sia]
Feel the burn, watch the smoke as I turn
Rising, a phoenix from the flames
Flame of love, we're going to fight the word, fight
Now it feels with these wings that I will fly


I found her in the flames
There's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light
