    Let's imagine Revival comes out and it is filled with mediocre tracks - nothing terrible, yet nothing that really stands out as great.

    Except there is one track that you hear and instantly realize this is a top-5 all-time Eminem song, an instant classic, on level with his best work from 2000-2003. If Em is able to deliver this one "Magnus Opus" track, will you be satisfied with Revival? Poll included.

    That alone wouldn't be enough if the rest of the album legit s----d hard. I'd rather have a consistently 7/10 album than one legendary song and a bunch of other 4/10 songs.

    No, of course not. Who judges an album based on one song?
    I want a body of work that has cohesion. Of course there will be better songs than others and I'm expecting a few duds (I'm ok with that) but one good song can't make a whole album good.

    This would be the same for any artist.

    Not really, if there is a song that sucks I can just skip it, no problem with that.

    I think every album Eminem has put out has at least one Top 5 worth song, If we Include We as Americans in Encore
