Jesus christ, the use of guitar and instrumentation in general in both of the tracks released so far is disgusting. I am anticipating a 2

fripp has the musical taste of a 40 year old, does that answer your question?

agreed hard, the 2nd song doesn't even have bad rapping. both melodic female-sung choruses are really

really bad. the 2nd song's chorus is just a fucking list of tired and cliche maxims.

He keeps doing this obnoxious yell constantly and going into a really annoying nasally register. I think his voice sounds horrible

Hell: the Sequel was enjoyable so there is still some hope for the new album

Oh and Survival sounds like its only reason for existence is to sell CoD

he might sound worse, but his message is a lot more mature than it was on Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP or Encore.

verses on that new track are pretty good, chorus is terrible, but ive never really let choruses ruin songs for me. You have to if you want to appreciate rap fully. and he bit KRS-One on that last verse... but that's nothing new

I didn't say the songs message was superb I just said he had some good lyrics/rhymes. You clearly aren't giving him a chance though and are thinking up criticisms before you even listen.

that rampage song or whatever was completely about life being short and that you should give a fuck and make the most of it. that is the complete opposite of:

"I don't give a fuck, I'm still relevant, please believe me, I'm not a quitter, your words don't affect me, did I mention I don't give a fuck?"

LambsBread are you serious?



"his message is a lot more mature than it was on Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP or Encore."



Encore, maybe. But his post-relapse work's "maturity" has all been blatant bullshit. It's so obviously phoned in, in an effort to distance himself from the silliness of Encore and Relapse. But it's completely disingenuous, and even if he's rapping about mature themes (which he really isn't on the MMLP2 stuff we've heard so far), it doesn't matter, because the quality of Eminem's output has never depended on his level of maturity. His genuine emotions always scored more points, no matter how immature they are.



That's why the whole "Slim Shady" persona worked in the first place. It isn't supposed to be mature. But still, a track like "Criminal" is fucking miles beyond anything off of his phony "mature" album Recovery.

How do you know his maturity is disingenuous? His his best friend Proof died and it changed him so he started rapping about more serious topics. assuming he's being disingenuous without providing evidence is low and/or ignorant.

He doesn't care about selling like he did in the slim shady days, he's already rich, so saying maturity isn't relevant is wrong, he makes music for respect now, not money. It's you cherished pop Chart in an age where 90 percent steal music that's irrelevant.I'm not sayin his music is super enlightened or mature, but slim shady lp was immature as can be, and he's growing out of it.

i think you missed the real point, which was that "it doesn't matter, because the quality of Eminem's output has never depended on his level of maturity. His genuine emotions always scored more points, no matter how immature they are.

Ugh forgive this rant. I've always wanted to write a review for Recovery explaining just why I think it's one of the worst things ever, and a lot of that is coming out here. And dude, I'd like to just debate some of this stuff with you but saying that my criticisms are "low and/or ignorant" without any real backing of your points just brings this out of me.



How do you know his maturity is disingenuous?




Because I actually listened to Recovery, far too many times. Do you seriously buy the phony "serious" delivery he gives in every fucking song on that album?



His his best friend Proof died and it changed him so he started rapping about more serious topics.




That's why the content of Relapse was so serious, right? Proof died in 2006, if it really had a genuine effect on Em's rapping, why did it just skip over that album?



assuming he's being disingenuous without providing evidence is low and/or ignorant.




I don't know what you expect from me here. It's so fucking obvious that all 77 minutes of Recovery's seriousness aren't genuine that I'm not going to bother explaining it if you can't see it. I mean dude, if you enjoy that shit, I'm not going to make an effort to tell you that you shouldn't. But I'm not going to waste my time by going far out of my way to break Recovery down to explain just why it's not genuine, when it should be plainly obvious.

So is that why he named his new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2. dyed his hair blond again, and has released clips all over the place that advertise Beats by Dre? Dude, it's insane to pretend like he doesn't care about album sales. He clearly does, and saying "he's already rich" doesn't change anything. Everyone always wants more.



saying maturity isn't relevant is wrong




I didn't ever say this though. What I said was, "the quality of Eminem's output has never depended on his level of maturity". I also said that eminem's "maturity" has been bullshit. It isn't irrelevant, it just doesn't equate to quality, which you apparently think it does.



he makes music for respect now, not money




Says... who? I think it's the opposite, but I'm not gonna put forth the effort to dispute the claim when you're provided nothing to back it initially anyway.



It's you cherished pop Chart in an age where 90 percent steal music that's irrelevant.I'm not sayin his music is super enlightened or mature, but slim shady lp was immature as can be, and he's growing out of it.




Okay, well making the most I can out of this incoherent group of thoughts, I'd like to say that yeah, Slim Shady LP was immature. Very much so. But again, that's part of his charm. If his maturity was genuine, maybe it would be interesting to follow. But so far, in his career, all of his maturity has come off as forced and fake, and it's hard to listen to.
