    Now that sometime has gone by I figured i'd make a review thread where people can talk about what songs they enjoyed or the whole if you wish, that way there isn't multiple threads with just one member whenever they want to review a song or album, i'll start.

    1. Shady XV

    Not really a big fan of the whole billy squire but the opening track is good, few awkward lines, i'll give this a 6/10

    favorite line

    What they don't know is the fact Rihanna calls me Pinocchio, meh
    She loves the way I lie
    Sits on my face and waits for my nose to grow

    2. Psychopath Killer

    I am a big fan of serial killer type tracks, the dark theme really thought crooked did a great job & was better than em, 8/10.

    favorite line

    I'm a psychopath, I'm never keepin' it plain
    Lyrical murder is somethin' I've been about
    Ever since I was a little kid, doodlin' in the class
    Drew a picture of my teacher, bullet in his head, ruler in his a---
    With a toilet in front of him, throwin' up, pissed off


    3. Die Alone

    I use to enjoy these type of tracks when he would talk about women & his love life, but this one is completely unlinistenable I don't know maybe it's just the chorus and beat but I just can't listen to it, but it does have it's moments. 3/10

    favorite line

    Now my head is overcrowded
    With these tired memories and I can't seem to get you out it
    And how the f--- do you sleep comfortably
    Knowing what you done did to me, huh?
    Did it even occur to you that I loved you, huh?
    Complete, madly, head over heels for you
    Was you and me, wants us to be together forever
    It was supposed to be us, but you crushed the dream
    We was supposed to die together, and it's killing me so much
    When I sleep I wake up dead


    4. Vegas

    The beat on this is banging the flow is magnificent and the way he imitates bizarre is hilarious, I think this is one of the best tracks he has done in a long time and the versache of course. 8/10

    Favorite line

    Hate Versace, Versace, I got Münchhausen by proxy
    I'm making you sick, don't pretend you can't hear me
    You deaf, girl, I said you was foxy
    I'll tell a b---- like Bizarre
    b----, shut the f--- up and get in my car
    And s--- my f---ing d-ck while I take a s---
    And I think with my d-ck so come blow my mind
    And it tastes like humble pie
    So swallow my pride, you're lucky just to follow my ride
    If I let you run alongside the Humvee
    Unless you're Nicki, grab you by the wrist, let's ski
    So what's it gon' be? Put that s--- away Iggy
    You gon' blow that r--- whistle on me

    5. Y'all Ready Know

    Best track from Slaughterhouse by far, love the DJ premier beat, the old school, all did fantastic and quite frankly I think it's the best on this album. 10/10.

    Favorite line

    I got a way with women, I faithfully play with women
    Let 'em s--- on this bottle and pray that I throw a baby in 'em


    6. Guts Over Fear

    2ND best on the album, definitely a great single, I think many can agree that this is the track that is completely different the rest of the others. 10/10

    Favorite Line

    So this is for every kid who all's they ever did was dreamt of one day just getting accepted
    I represent him or her, anyone similar, you are the reason that I made this song


    7. Down

    0/10 song I think doesn't need any review

    Favorite line : there aren't any

    8. Bane

    Read number 7

    9. Fine Line

    Great beat, great verses, best track since TES. 8/10

    favorite line
    Put a thousand lighters in the sky for the Outsidaz

    10. Twisted

    This song is dope, another favorite. 8/10

    favorite line

    Love is a cannibal ridin' a carnival carousel
    'Round and 'round we roll, where it stops, baby nobody knows
    Some people go crazy and they lose control
    Some people jump off, some people won't let go
    Some people say love, some people say why
    Some people don't love, they just want a free ride
    The rain won't stop, it'll never dry
    If she's in the house of pain then love is standin' outside


    11. Right For Me

    Song is banging, lyrics are insane, beat is bumping and the chorus is fantastic on this track, for some reason it reminds me of some SSLP . 10/10

    Favorite line

    Right For Me will change me rearrange my head to be
    Just right for you and me don’t laugh, please listen
    Don’t laugh, please listen

    12. Detroit VS. Everybody

    I think this is another one we can all agree on that Big Sean was the best on here, or of course if you are just an Eminem fan who's life just completely thinks only Eminem is the best no matter who he is against then you obviously don't know what rap is. 10/10

    Favorite line

    I know it took way longer than 9 months, but f--- it, it's all in due time
    I turned a blunt to a roach with dreams of bein' a Beatle though
    Don' want to "I need to", you gotta learn to keep it cerebral
    When you come up in a place where everyone got a piece but ain't peaceful
    This is just part 1, wait 'til the sequel

    Review is a bit too positive. DVE is not a 10/10 song.

    How do you say Fine Line is the "best track since TES" and then go and rate other songs on this album higher?

    Because that song just reminds me of that album, those others don't they're just better than that song.

    I don't like Right for me at all, his flow ruins it for me. But agree with most of your review, a lot has changed for me now though, some songs grew on me and some I already forgot about. But lol @ rating some songs a 10 and fine line an 8 and then say it's his best song since TES.

    I said you because people were saying the reviews are so positive they were looking for hate most likely, so I said I'm not someone who dislikes everything Eminem puts out, so I pointed to someone who does, which in this case was you.

    Agree on Vegas, despite some of the content (i.e.the 'booger' line) I actually really enjoy it

    How can one song be the best song since Eminem Show, then another song be rated higher than that? Great review man.

    Fine Line is ok, but its not great and its definitely not the best song since TES

    I think the only reason why people are liking Fine Line is because the nostalgic feel to the production and the the lyrical content but the terrible delivery and the lack of emotion ruins it.
