Only two tracks into this so far but they’re pretty good. Can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to listening through an Eminem album in 2018. Also fucking AWESOME to see Joyner get this kind of recognition.

Joyner is a corny homophobe but he’s got skills too. Hope he can shed that garbage.

REVIVAL DIDNT GO VIRAL

Em had to hurry up and make up for that last joint. Don't blame him, that was hot garbage.

30 seconds into track one and it's already better than most of the stuff on the last one.

Edit: except for that part where he says we didn't like his last album cuz it went over our heads - lol okay dude

Edit 2: Lucky You is great.

Surprise, it's not actually garbage.

oh...my...goad

The gall, the audacity to ape Beastie Boys' classic album cover
I am appalled

Only song Im not crazy about is Nice Guy, but everything else is very solid. Good project. Maybe a 4 when I sleep on it, easily 3,5

haha he called tyler a f*ggot! take that soundcloud rappers! this is how it's done!


can he just fuck off already

This was straight fire

what a cunt

On the first track and it’s his better than Revival x1000

This actually ain't half bad, could see this growing on me.

It was amazing, it's hard to believe he pulled this off

Yeah, this is the best Em has been for a real long time

we're getting to the point where rating sites becomes insignificant because people use them before they even listen to an album. looking forward to the collapse of modern internet culture, it can't come soon enough

Apparently this is really good.

sulamforme, if that's the case then I'm an ear-whore lmao

Nah this is good. Don’t even see what people could gripe with that badly. Revival was a straight 1, this is prob about a 3.5. Gonna sit on it for a few days

lmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is goodlmao guys you seriously have to be fuckin in your ears if you think this is good

I mean taking out those shit pop features and god awful beats should be enough to warrant a better reception than Revival, no? I also love most of his flows on here so

TheWonderSoFar, plus it has some rap features, that's even more than you can say about MMLP2. It has about as many rap features as a golden-age Eminem album.

Anyone know why he completely plagiarized Beastie boys License to Ill cover?

Middle18, I think it was more of an homage.

@Middle18 it's supposed to be an homage I guess, but comes off as tacky and gross

Best thing he's done since The Eminem Show.

Farudo, people say that with every new release and this is the first time I agree with them.

Midway through reviewing this thing, it's given me a lot to chew on!

First 3 tracks are amazing, the rest falls flat because it started off so strong

I dug Not Alike and Fall decently enough and I think Venom was a solid ending track. I'll agree that the first three are the standouts of this.

he sounds better but he still hasn't figured out his production problems.

he needs to bring someone in who actually knows what they're doing instead of this mishmash of mid-grade, ripoff shit that he raps over every album.

gonna have to check it. good to see him calling out some of these lame cats

some of the beats are pretty hot, but yeah the production is flat as hell. if he could figure that half out this would be a stunning album.

edit: actually this sucks

Albums good.

I'd like to see how well The Bass Brothers would do as producers for Eminem nowadays.

I'm listening to Kamikaze rn and it sounds like shit

Yeah I'll stick with the Twista album.

Twista album is better

real gamers know it's a FACT that em is the GOAT rapper and this new album is straight fire

10/10

Yeah this album mostly slaps aside from Nice Guy
What in the FUCK is with that track

But where’s Slim Shady?

PS- bring back Dr Dre

Let's see what melonhead has to say about this.

^who cares?

what do gamers have to do with anything

"^who cares?"

How will I know if I like the album ?

There are a couple of really good tracks on here and a couple of really really bad ones too. 2.5ish/5

@nolertheblower

did you miss the part on the album where slim said "gamers are the most oppressed minority" before calling lil Xan a "crayola faced f*ggot"?

Which tracks are really really bad? Lmao only one I can call bad is Nice Guy

I find it absolutely hilarious that people are mad about that Tyler diss, truly.

still doing the same old gimmicks

The real surprise is that its not unlistenable

How is Fall not the most obvious bad song on this?

Same Valkoor people gotta find something to get pissy about
And Fall is pretty good so

One track in and already ready to turn it off. Can't count the number of awful lines there on two hands

actually the first three tracks are really good so no.

I don't like when he starts rapping real fast for like a minute, it's like an unecessary long guitar solo

Look, Eminem is never gonna release an excellent album, not because he can't, but because most people will never give it any sort of credit even if it is deserving of it.

uhm not his first two were excellent and everyone pretty much agrees with that

You may be right about tracks 2 and 3, which I haven't heard, but track 1 is him a) claiming people don't like his recent music because they have bad taste in rap, b) that all his music is unassailably good and the critics who are criticizing is are just tryna get clicks, c) calling everyone who doesn't like him "mentally retarded", like that's a clever and appropriate insult (like, God, it's 2018, can we cool it), d) saying he'll "rape the alphabet" (again, it's fucking 2018), e) telling a bunch of people he doesn't like to suck a dick (ooh, so clever, really got em, again, it's fucking 2018 [3]), and most importantly f) shouting out Joyner Lucas, Big Sean, and J Cole as three of the four only good rappers, which, like, lmao

By saying he's never gonna release an excellent album I meant future tense, of course he has excellent albums. The idea is that the Eminem hate train is so huge it's just impossible to dismantle it. He's made some really shitty records and they are going to haunt him forever.

Basically it's Em at his most insecure, edgy, and self-righteous. It's the same shit Nicki did two weeks ago (complete with a Donkey of the Day reference) and we all excoriated her for that. Earl was right

"And Fall is pretty good so"
I guess the track listing got fucked up when the album initially dropped and that Fall and Kamikaze had their track titles switched? My download has the song with the bouncy circus type of beat listed as Fall but people online are talking about how the titles got messed up and should be switched. Either way, that circus sounding one is the one I hate.

Em's personality on the record is one of it's weaknesses I'll give you that, however there is some quality material here. You'd just have to go into it with an empty and open mind, which all things considered I realise is impossible.

"You may be right about tracks 2 and 3, which I haven't heard, but track 1 is him a) claiming people don't like his recent music because they have bad taste in rap, b) that all his music is unassailably good and the critics who are criticizing is are just tryna get clicks, c) calling everyone who doesn't like him "mentally retarded", like that's a clever and appropriate insult "

I hope he was being sarcastic

Nah em doesn't really believe Revival was good, trust me

Then why did he make it? D:

Why does any artist ever make bad albums ? It certainly isn't because it's what he is set out to do.

why would you release something you don't think is good tho?

"He needs to bring back Dr. Dre"

he's the executive producer of this album, lol

I love the blatant LTI homage, tbh

Always preferred Beasties later shit so I'm not particularly bothered if it is indeed "disrespect" to this one (which I don't agree with in the first place)

Will be spinning this in a coupla hours for sure

I like to shit on new age Em as much as the next guy but the album art is clearly a homage. He's sampled stuff from Licensed to Ill quite a few times on past albums pretty sure ("Berzerk" definitely comes to mind).

This is surprisingly decent

shits trash. em makes rap for large boys with monster energy tattoos

yeah well I have neither

More like "Eminem drops surprise turd"

iglu "why would you release something you don't think is good tho?"

Have you heard of these crazy new things called "record labels", and the contracts they have sign?

Anyway probably gonna leave this as I turned off Eminem years ago - still respect his old material but it's just not my jam anymore. Sounds as though this is something people are quite divided on about whether it's any good or not though.

Thrust you are really salty my guy, who hurt you

I think Eminem didn’t release Revival was bad for a little while

What?

I think radio had a stroke
