My fake journalistic review
It feels like Eminem was aiming to recreate the magic of 'The Slim Shady LP' with this latest release, but ultimately shifted gears, renaming the project and perhaps symbolically ending an era. From a creative perspective, this is his best work since before 'Relapse,' which, let's be honest, didn't quite hit the mark despite recent reappraisals. He's definitely tapped back into his creative vein; it would be a shame if this turns out to be his swan song because it truly reflects what an Eminem album should be at this stage in his career.
While some of the content no longer shocks and some early tracks felt a tad immature for Em, he really hits his stride from tracks 5 to 14, which stand out as the album's highlight. That said, I'm still not a fan of his picks for vocal collaborations on the more introspective songs—it feels like he's yet to find the right fit for those melodic hooks which have consistently been the weaker links in his albums.
On another note, his personal lyrics about past relationships and the closing apology to his daughter do paint a picture of someone who is lets be honest not a good parent or husband, this guy should have gotten it together by now, I'm just saying
Overall, I'd rate this album a solid 4 out of 5, especially when stacked against today's music standards. Eminem has delivered a substantial project that showcases his enduring talent in the rap game.
