Mar 18, 2017 I really like the album but I went rate it 8 out higher. Great concept, poor execution in some places. At least 4 songs (Inc bonus songs) I consider to tier Eminem.
Mar 18, 2017 Bad Guy Groundhog Day Rhyme or Reason Baby So Much Better Rap God Berzerk Monster Legacy Evil Twin I reckon that album would have been a solid 8/10 For me Headlights, So Far, Stronger than, Love Game were quite average songs

Evil Twin is also good but it turns boring
Mar 18, 2017 I actually think this is an instance where an Em album was slightly overrated by some critics. And that is rare. (The 72/100 Metacritic score is about right though actually) None of his first three masterpieces got true acclaim at the time that they deserved. In particular MMLP which jussssst about got acclaim, I mean it was heavily praised but it should have been more lauded in the same way that Ye's totally ridiculously overrated work is tbh. Relapse was then majorly misunderstood and unfairly sh---ed on. Recovery reaction was about right. MMLP2 was definitely a bit overrated, though ironically it was only rated down by most critics for the ''flaw'' of his homophobic slurs again lol, like the first one. It's like... 13 years later? And you still don't get it? Like, holy s--- those critics are dumb as f---. Anyway, personally I'd give it a 7. I enjoy the f--- out of the album, tbf, when I spin it... it's a fun ride. And his rapping and most of the songs are brilliant. But its sound is all over the place and random as f--- and there's no way I can give an album that messy and unfocused anything in the golden 8 + territory.
Mar 20, 2017 7.5/10 its a good album but nothing to put it over the top and make it great. Although rap god and bad guy are pretty great
