    Interesting, the album is starting to grow on me a lot and i'm starting to like it a lot more than MMLP2, this album has so much to offer
    People are just hating on this blindly instead of taking their time with it to digest it completely, but same happens with every EM album so i'm not trippin

    relapse is pretty much for kids and teenagers, not interested in edgy Eminem

    If it wasn't for edgy eminem we wouldn't know he exists, that's the s--- that made him blow up.

    Like Home is definitively a good song.

    So frustrating there is quite a few terrible songs on here. Eminem pure rapping or slim shady songs are not good. It had some potential to be a very good album. Rick Rubin can take some blame.
    I thought he produced In Your Head & was finally they made a good song but no it was produced by Scram Jones lol.
    This album should have been way shorter 10-12 songs.

    I've only skimmed through so far, last night after a couple beers. thought it sounded horrendous but I've yet to hear castle/arose and give it a proper chance. all i can say for sure right now is like home was hilariously bad.

    It's different while still giving his fans everything from his previous albums, I feel like he tried to revive every era of his, we got songs that sound like Recovery, Relapse, MMLP2, Encore, Tes
    Definitely his most experimental album thus far, I love it

    The Dad sample is so random in Bad Husband lol.
    It is another one of the better songs though.

    I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. This is definitely an album for the fans that have been with him for a long time, and have gotten older with him.
    This is the first Eminem album that I hated on first listen, but most of the songs have really grown on me. I’m actually happy with this.
    Wish he could see how terrible Offended, Need Me, etc are though.

    relapse is classic em. f----- up lyrics, weird stories, and lyrically it's his best album.

    ugh. most of it.... doesnt work. but i like it more today then i did yday.

    the joan jett song is a misfire. em is bad on it..... and honestly none of the rick rubin collaborations have truly worked, given how legendary both artists are. and as i said to @Swizz earlier, has any long term music parternships been as fruitless as pink and em? all their songs have been filler lol

    this rly should be an 8 track album. even what works doesnt feel like a final draft. and other stuff has been done before/better. my main issue with Bad Husband and the last two tracks of the album are they’re .........essentially Recovery rehashes. Would be somewhat more interesting to hear him rap about what it’s like being a pop star w a 21 y/o daughter or whatever

    I think untouchable and like home both could work a lot better w the right editing and direction. Sad his two confidants are mr porter and Paul lol. A retooled Like Home should’ve been the single imo. No dill line. Needs a third verse maybe more lines about how he might’ve emboldened trump. And maybe he should’ve done the chorus tbh.

    believe is ok. and like home is...... almost ok. lots of crap though. ugh
