    Why do critics hold Eminem to such a higher standard?

    That's why "you nerdy pricks would find something wrong with 36 chambers / that's what they do to the greats" hits so hard because it's so f---ing true.

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Exactly. If it was truly that he'd give them just to them or put them in a fkn safe lol.

    Also we all know he just tried to re-do Castle & Arose bc he thinks people didn't hear them due to Revival.

    Temporary = letter to Hailie, like Castles
    Somebody Save Me = this is what happens if I don't survive aka Arose

    That's why both feel false/forced, and quite lazily written, it's like he's just like... he wanted people to hear the concepts but he'd already - as he put it - dumped his fkn heart out on Castle & Arose, those were the real ones, so he can't do that authentically again.

    I would've respected that a lot more, maybe with different endings ofc and why not put the A.I s--- on the earlier letters of castle while he was at it? idk it doesn't seem THAT crazy to me

    I don't even hate Temporary or SSM but the sequencing is so f----- on the last leg of the album that it doesn't allow me to enjoy the songs at the end as much as I'd like to.

    Now that I'm getting my critiques all out I can say that most of this album has been stuck in my head like a parasite

    Track 1-13 is classic Em/Shady, really love the album up until then!

    The rest is all right, but meh.

    But it’s not though. There’s still multi syllable rhyming on them and technical rapping which makes that letter rap style sound forced. He struggles to do that kind of material.
