    I dont understand why you would feel the need to even bring Cancer into the conversation though? surely there are other things in the world you can compare a hook to other than Cancer?

    I'd still take the recovery/HTS-era screaming over the status quo tbh.

    this guy just keeps getting worse, each year or so replacing one fatal flaw with an even worse one: accent > screaming > creepy old man voice

    actually don't see it geting much hate???
    Granted I wasn't as active on SL.... so I can't remember the reactions.
    Kinda difficult though when it's em. You can't gauge people actual opinions. They get tooo emotional.
    It's a certified classic for a week, Then.... when people start picking apart every single lyric, in turns into hot garbage overnight with an over emphasis on this mythical 'replay value' catchphrase that everyone is obsessed with.

    How do you know for sure???

    The target/meaning of a lot of more recent em songs is heavily ambigous.
    Probably for 2 main reasons;

    1) To stop ereone constantly. trying to sue his a---.
    2) To keep his private life a little more private than it has been in the past.

    this does become a problem when people try to palm it off as objective criticism

    I don't think it's that badly written though is it??

    I mean you can hold ems newer work up to a pedastol in comparison to the first 3 albums everytime if you want. Everytime something new drops, but in doing that you're probably not making a fair judgement on the material itself as it's own body of work.

    It's hard to differentiate when it comes to Em. I get that completely. Nostalgia and the sheer contrast does a lot to cloud ones judgement.

    Maybe even myself included.

    As yela would say...

    A horse is a horse.

    its average writing but thats besides the points -- the point IS that you're comparing it to his writing on the first 3 albums lol. thats whole premise here -- that it could fit on his first 3 albums, is it not?

    and no, it couldnt, because the writing is no where near as good.

    Sounds like what Encore might have sounded like with fewer pills
    It does have kind of a nostalgic sound, but doesn't link back to the first three albums.
