    I don't know why they have to make 19 songs and 10 of them are garbage, I feel like it would be alright if it had like 10 good songs

    @Koolo great review, we have similar opinions regarding sounds and concepts, maybe I went too far saying its the best since TES but I am thrilled by the result

    stan is obviously a better song, but the concept of a fan writing eminem a letter than reading it after death isnt as good as a song rewinding back to the song before it and re-writing his future imo

    2 of those songs are skits, so cant count them as songs
    for me the album has 16 tracks, from that you remove offended, the khelani song, need me and tragic endings and you have a decent 13 track album

    You nailed it with the review. Has like 5 meh/wack tracks but other ones are unique, diverse and interesting. It's gonna be received very badly as of rn, there are a lot of people hating on it as we speak. But this album is gonna be a cult classic just like Relapse.

    and for an album that by the cover, sounds like its supposed to be a huge political statement, he didnt say much outside Untouchable and a few cheap shots at Trump and his family

    he did have a few verses that were touching on social issues but as a whole this album wasnt anything political like he made it out to be. just a f---ing mess

    its pretty bad when a high point of the album is a 50 sec interlude, and its still completely out of place on the tracklist.

    16 songs is way too long imo, remove remind/need me/ offended and you have a very solid album

    which is why i said slept on

    its very very very hard to admit they are good because of the shock value, listening to eminem on a song like chloraseptic is laughable
