Well damn

This dude is the the definition of Mid has never said a funny thing in his life

 

[TheAlbionist]

This is a modern Eminem album. It's enough for a single listen, but there's nothing that screams at you to come back to. Barely a quotable.

Fuel stands out... I might actually listen to that twice.

I thought he was gonna come with the goofy Borat voice on Brand New Dance and he didn't, so that's a positive.

Houdini is a typical Em lead single in that it's complete trash and I don't understand why anyone even needed it to exist.

Tobey is better, especially with the video.

Temporary is actually pretty touching.

Guilty Conscience 2 is a fun idea, but this whole using Shady's voice to say something offensive and then using the Em voice to walk it back that happens over the whole album is corny as shyt. Grow up or don't grow up, Marshall... you can't play both sides of a culture war just because you've got a cartoon character... or if you do, you've got to do more to make the cartoon look foolish.

I need Em on his Darkness/BET Cypher shyt holding his fanbase's feet to the flames and I know he's got it in him... I don't really know who this album is for.

I don't know how Em makes album after album of uptempo rap beats and not a single one makes you want to step.

Edit: Save Me From Myself is actually very good. Maybe the only thing anyone needs from Em is grown up introspection. He can do it. Both the songs directed at Haile work really well.

This album sounds like the album we thought we were getting instead of Encore back in the day (minus a feature or two from 50, Obie, and whatnot). Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.

It's a concept album and the concept clearly flew over your head....like Christopher Reeve.

Apparently that song was recorded for Encore (with a new punch-in to add yet one more Jenner reference) and was originally titled Christopher Reeves. Apparently they wouldn't let him release it back then. I alternate between thinking the Reeves stuff is funny and beyond played out.

On first listen this is dope

 

[Tetris v2.0]

This album is alright. Could be much better, could also be much worse.

Overall pleasantly surprised if I'm being honest

 

[Shogun]

Lives up to the hype for me. Only a few skips, vast majority is the best em in a long time.

 

[Nuuko]

Didn't really enjoy, but I do appreciate that he has his old voice/style on a bunch of songs.

The rapping is great though, as usual from him.

Edit: surprisingly, my favorite beat came from Porter, and the ones I didn't enjoy that much are from Dr Dre.
