In terms of content and lyricism I personally think Revival is getting an unwarranted hard time. I’m very critical of a lot of Eminem’s music but I think this particular project is getting too much hate. This project isn’t by any means a classic but I think it’s a pretty solid album.

.... Beleive ....



And I started from the bottom like a snow man... oh man... put that in your corn cob pipe and smoke that...

I think you'll find it's being rated accordingly...

Nah, it’s trash.

If anything, it's being overrated by stans still in denial.

this is without a doubt undoubtedly his 4th best album.

I kinda like that nobody likes this album. It reminds me back in 99 when only hardcore rap fans knew him.

I am obsessed with that yeah. That's probably the biggest element of what makes an album good to me.

If the songs don't sound like they were made for the same thing, in some way, then it falls apart.

That's the issue with MMLP2 and Revival, even if not everybody knows that's their issue with it - that's why people rate those albums 6/10 or less. Because the experience is not consistent. You can't have shouty piano music vs. stadium rap rock vs. trap s--- vs. horrocore... it just sounds ridiculous. You wouldn't say a greatest hits CD is as good as a GOAT album. Why? Because there's no format to the experience - it's just a collection of songs. An album is not a movie, but it should be AN ALBUM. An album should not be 'a collection of random songs'.

I know what he said. And it's wack as f---. Trying to create something for everybody, as an artist, is one of the wackest things I have ever heard. It's like the antithesis of great art. It's the complete opposite of his best work or any great artist's work I know of. Because know what that = ? COMPROMISE.

An artist should make something THEY think is amazing. Uncompromised. Then, whoever likes it likes it. Whoeever doesn't... Cool. Get new fans, lose some, who gives a f---. He's turned into a customer service rep. It's very sad.

You are pretty obsessed with a cohesive album. As far as I know, most albums are not. This isn't a movie, it's a collection of songs. Remember, Eminem said he wants something for everyone. You are putting too much emphasis on collective songs.

Mate who gives a f--- about 'flip flopping'? There's nothing wrong with changing your opinion. And with an album... that's extremely normal. Hence the phrase ''slept on'' because some albums, the opposite, people dislike when they first hear, then the album becomes great to them over time. Revival was the opposite for me, very quickly. After just a day or two of listening.

There's nothing noble in just keeping the same opinion forever, it doesn't make your opinion more valid because you still like it now... the same as you did when you first hear it. So what? Lol, that's fkn meaningless.

"You used to think the world was flat. Now you think it's round. You flip-flopped. I didn't, I stuck to my guns"... Lol?? There's nothing good or commendable about just keeping the same view. Not that there's anything wrong with it, taste wise, but I don't know why you're pointing that out, like it makes your taste more valid.

The album is bad.

Some good songs, yes. But as an album, as a construct, as one piece? It's bad.

Just like if you had a movie which was compiled of great individual scenes but the story made no sense and you had totally conflicting tones scene after scene - like a silly comedy scene right after a murder scene, followed by a foreign speaking romantic scene... you would be like WTF IS THIS? It would make no sense. And be a terrible movie. But each individual scene could still be great by itself.
