Dec 14, 2017 Lets get s--- outta the way Note: the album is played backward, castle and arose happens, then walk on water begins into the different sounds i said this is the worst em album of all time, and rated it 3...i was very wrong to do so, i have listened to the album in full about 30 times since then, though this is very early...but heres my actual thoughts after everything has sunk in i think this album is gonna be received very very very badly at first, but will be very strong in the long run This is a very great album Cons: - His stop and go flow at an all time low, its unbearable at some parts - remind me/need me/offended cant be defended, they are three of the worst eminem songs of all time, no way to defend that - too many poppy songs Pros: - CONCEPTS!!, every song in this album has a concept and a story (almost), this is the FIRST album of eminem that does this...this strengthen the album in the long run..the concept behind river, believe, castle and arose are so good - Castle, its very early, but this might be the best eminem song post hiatus, the absolute best - the rewind part into castle is the best eminem concept of all time, better than stan - SOUNDS!!!. this has more different eminem sounds then all the other 8 albums combined, walk on water is poetry, believe is inspirational, chloraseptic is trap, untouchable is rock star, river is pop, remind me is rock, like home ...etc - every song happens after arose, and ithink thats on purpose, how he apologize to kim, how he is trying many different sounds, this is the revived Eminem usually i overrate the f--- outta eminem albums then went back at it, this time im doing a 180, i thought this album is trash, but its amazing imo...as long as every song has a strong msg and concept, i will be able to come to them years from now (i think). if this album was 13-14 songs, this woulda been f---ing amazing look, its easy to s--- on him, at first glance, this is very easy album to s--- on..VERY...but i decided to give it a shot and rly listen...bad husband sounded laughable at first, but then i realized the emotions and drive behind it...Chloraseptic sounded like a bad thug song, then i realized Em can do trap rly well..River sounded like another love song, but hey it actually has the strongest love msg he ever created..like home sounded cliche mosh song, but actually he rapped his a--- off using a poppy beat...tragic endings sounded like yet another love sky/em song, but its not random this time around, he has a msg he is holding through out the song..framed is actually funny...rly funny in fact..nowhere fast is great...heat IS CRAZYYYYYY, yes content is trash, but beat is crazy..in your head is amazing now, into castle/arose..... eminem rewrote his story at arose and went back to castle and changed the outcome, dont get it twisted, this is the best concept eminem ever came with now look, need me, remind me, offended will go down in history as embarassement, and its sad, no one can ever defend how bad they are, but i will learn to live with it i love this album, its amazing, you say its all over the place, i say all these sounds are on purpose thank you Eminem @EminemSXN
Dec 14, 2017 i think, the three songs i listed are so bad beyond belief, its kinda clouding our judgement, theres s--- ton of gems
Dec 14, 2017 I agree. Castle/Arose is genius and emotional. The album is simply too long. He wanted to please everyone so there is at least a couple songs for everyone. It is a bit annoying that this took him four years though. I expected a lot of Remind me, as it had an intro and all. That track is my biggest disappointment.
Dec 14, 2017 no way you can tell nowhere fast is just another poppy song, no way...go and listen, and listen to what he says this s--- isnt another monster or random pop song each song has a purpose
Dec 14, 2017 Switch your opinions on Heat and Offended and i 100% agree with this review @Koolo where do you rank this in his discog?
Dec 14, 2017 Album is trash (give or take 2 or 3 songs). This is his 2nd dud in a row. Admit it. If he sticks with these producers, features, and “friends”, he’s done. I won’t be interested in another Em release unless I see Dre or Bass bros names on the production credits and no Skylar Grey in sight.
Dec 14, 2017 i did the same, the first 3-4 times i listened, but then i actually decided to pay attention to what the f--- he says, and i got floored each song has a purpose, go listen to for example, nwhere fast...i thought its trash and has no reason to exist, but re-listen i used a bad example on purpose btw
