    Ok Guys, So first, this album is undeniable one of his prime work since infinite, and after the 10th entirely listen I’m ready to talk about it.


    1- Walk on Water Rate: 8/10


    This song, is very deep and meaningful not only for Marshall, but most to the die hard fans like me


    I walk on water
    But I ain't no Jesus



    Well he’s surely isn’t Jesus, but many many people portrait him a divine god, or some s--- like that, because we now he took over the game for many years, and only after ppl Like the caliber of Kendrick Lamar appeared (even under the same Dre’s wings) he took a chair, and started to appreciate other peoples work.


    First Verse, is very introspective and give Stans Goosebumps by listening to this dressed side of him, even after songs like dejavu and Beautiful.

    I really liked this song, and surely is way better on Beyoncé’s powerful voice than Skylar Grey. The beat is simple and not noisy that’s what I love and it has a lot of piano, I love piano.


    Overall I give it a 8/10 because Eminem could have add some heavy drums on it and strings like the live version, it sounds way way better.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2- Believe Rate: 10/10

    Holy holy modafuckin’ s---! I always wanted Eminem rapping like this, the way he layered his voice many times, and this stop and go flow, makes him a rapper that can do anything he wants in this rap game, he truly showed these new cats that even on a “trap” beat, he can spazz the f--- out, and this outstanding production from Em himself and Luis Resto is godly, I was so happy when Luis first glimpsy about being on Revival, and he f---in’ delivered



    Do you still believe in me?
    Didn't I get everything I had to give you to make you see?
    I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now
    And walk out, I will never let you live it down

    (I'll never quit) Do you still believe in me?


    Hussein with the flow
    Fake fans with the two-faced that show


    This powerful hook, and this line just made me give this whole song a 10/10, because I f--- with Eminem’s production style I was correct by saying he had at least one beat on it.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3- Chloraseptic Rate: 8/10


    Ohhh my, Ohhh my ..what… dafuq was that? Yeahhh (head bangin’) this was my first reaction listening to this cool a--- song, first of all I never realized Eminem could do a flow like this, or use a beat like this. Even that I don’t give a f--- about Mr Porter, he just went ham on this beat and Eminem paid him with speed flow, fossil fuel and a great hook my this unknown as hunky funky PHresher, but seriously...this song without this hook could have ruined everything, so i gave this man a mad props.

    So I rate this 8/10 just because I wanted at least a pHresher hook or somebody who is familiarized with this kind of trap thing, just to go one-on-one with Eminem.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4- Untouchable Rate: 6/10

    Well Well Well, Let’s talk about this (Ant white trump f--- you song) I Liked it, really liked it, but I’m not feelin’ the beat, the sample used or the way the rhymes go on patterns, when I listened to the intro…I thought.. (f---…f---! This is it..holy s---…it’s comin’…omg the monster is comin’….the beat will drop like BOOOOOOOOOOOM) than it flipped 360 and changed a lot my mind, at least this is a straight message to this racism s--- that is going in the world, and of course Trump…the orange guy….who will surely answer now…

    That’s why I’m giving it a 6/10

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5- River (Feat Ed the Redhead guy) Rate: 8/10


    I know Ed, I know his songs… (shape of you plays every 4 min at Brazilian radio stations) but I could never picture a partnership between him and Em, When the song started and I heard


    I've been a liar, been a thief
    Been a lover, been a cheat
    All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me



    I sat back… and said to myself…omg..this is really happening Ed and Em having chemistry…this beat…this guitar…omg a chill back song finally!


    So Eminem comes and drop these bars


    “He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack
    Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
    On his breath's Jack is a sex addict
    And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
    It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack
    She's kept track of all his Internet chats


    And WHAT DA f--- YOU f---in f---..YOU DOING MULTIS…YOU DOING MULTIS IN A CHILL BACK BEAT….YOU f---in’ RAP GOD MAN…


    But nothing is all flowers. And he made this lame bridge



    My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)
    Denver (ooh), river run
    Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)
    River (ooh), we'll let the river run”



    Ohh, come on Mr Mathers, you could’ve sing some s---…



    That’s it..i give it a 8/10.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    6- Remind Me (Intro)- Rate: 10/10

    Dre Dre is back!!! Ohh wait.., he just made me remind of “Hollaback girl” from Gwen Stefani? That’s weird… but this is a very nice intro, with lots of elements to link for a good song, so I give it 10/10 this is Dre’s work. You can’t give less.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7- Remind Me- Rate: 5/10


    So, I don’t feel Rick Rubin’s production that much, because he is too influenced with this rock s---, and I’m not so much into Rock n Roll, but unfortunately we knew that it would end up like this….it’s Rubin…


    So let’s focus on the lyrics


    'Cause you got an a--- that won't quit
    So, get on the horn, my saxophone
    Grab hold of my instrument, get a grasp, and blow



    I'm lookin' at your tight rear like a sightseer
    Your booty is heavy duty, like diarrhea



    Said can I take you home, where we can be alone
    Shawty, you the s---”


    Oh boy, c’mon this is some young Slim shady right there…the guy who makes fun about f---in’ girls in the most weird possible way… this really reminded me about slim shady. And that he still exists really deep inside Eminem’s guts (or a---?)


    For an album that has a lot of different songs and subjects, this fits perfectly to show that, Eminem. Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers.. still walking together….


    So Rick Rubin f----- this one hard, and I’ll give this a 5/10.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    8- Revival (Interlude) Featuring Alice and the Glass Lake Rate: 3/10


    Ohh, ok but where’s Eminem? Why this Revival interlude is nothing like what I’ve pictured in my mind, why Eminem didn’t follow my script and did some (he’s in the E.R dying and they are reviving him…and he’s mind keeps awake and thinking loud)


    I give it a 3/10.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    9- Like Home (Feat Alicia Keys) Rate: 7/10


    I was ready to some soul- inspired and jazzy track, and with Alicia pleasing us with his angel voice…but we got some Ant trump Anthem and a Just Blaze noisy production, at least the content is very meaningful powerful and thoughtful….I really like reading the lyrics…and understand what u.s.a is turning into…a s--- place to live. That even Eminem a patriot man, is unsatisfied .


    I give it a 7/10 because I always imagined a feat with Alicia, and this finally happened. I hope he return the favor sometime soon and we get something more jazzy-like.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    10- Bad Husband (Feat X- Ambassadors) Rate: 9/10.


    So when I saw the feat, and who they’re affiliated with…I immediately expected the worst…but the title gave me hope for a great song and it turned out an outstanding song…who ever thought about Eminem would apologize to KIM, yea KIM the woman that inspired Eminem to write a song called KIM, the woman that he married twice…divorced…bashed…

    “We never saw from each other's sides, or eye to eye
    Just eye for eye, lie for lie, fight or flight
    So much baggage, need a luggage rack
    But we carry on with our public spats and our feuds
    Oh, back in the news,
    love taps when I dissed you”

    And as A truly lover I understand him. I totally understand that, because this is something made by a man who loves a woman to death no matter what they’ve went through, this is love…and this is why people fight for…

    “You're my lightning rod when my sky gets dark
    I'm your shiny rocks in that tiny box
    When we tied the knot, when we broke the knot
    Every line we crossed, we were supposed to not
    Every time we fought, the insults they got
    Thrown too far
    Words that we said that we didn't mean
    The words that we meant that we didn't say”



    After hearing about her most recently suicide attempt….and Eminem didn’t making a public statement about it… I won’t lie. I was expecting something like this.


    That’s why I give it a 9/10.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    11- Tragic Endings (Feat Skylar Grey) Rate: 10/10


    Now this what I’m talkin’ about! What a hook! Hey Skylar you hot and your voice too!


    As I predicted before (You can look it up) The follow-up to bad husband, kept showing us why Eminem is so depressed these days, these years…. Because he has everything…but the most important…to be loved by somebody, he can’t get it, and I’m not talking about father and daughter relationship…but Woman And Man.

    “All my life, I was told, I was never nothing special
    I don't need to be reminded of it every other second
    'Specially when all my self-esteem's already shot to h---
    I'm falling helplessly, I'm embarrassed, I don’t want no one else to see”


    This is painful to read and to listen to….I feel you Eminem.. I was at the same place as you…I’ve been told this before (and way before this s80 s---)


    I'm putty in her palms, I’m wrapped around her finger
    A yo-yo on a string, she lets me sit there and just dangle

    Until something better comes along, and she'll just drop me like a hot potato


    Yeah, some women just want to use you… because when you’re “too chill” they do whatever they want, and in the end you are the one who will regret everything.


    “In my moments of weakness, I openly admit this s---, I wouldn't normally
    I'm extremely self-conscious and enormously
    Insecure and she uses it to torture when she torments me
    It only turns to ammunition for her in this war when she
    Gets going, she don't stop, when I'm up, she's like a downer
    When I found her it was love at first encounter”


    As I said, some women use our insecurities and weakness to torture us…

    This song is beautiful and picture paints a thousand word.., so I give it a 10/10.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    12- Framed Rate: 10/10


    Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyy goddddddddddddddddddddd, this is like a trilogy ending….with 3 am and stay wide awake, this is the s--- he always do, but a 2017 version, and he literally send a message to all this feminist movements.


    The Song starts very very heavily


    Feeling kinky, lip syncing to Too $hort's
    "Freaky Tales" (Biatch!)

    Having creepy visions of whiskey drinking
    Envisioning sneaking into where Christie Brinkley dwells

    Than it give us a perfect hook


    But hey man I was framed
    I know what this looks like officers please just give me one minute
    I think I can explain
    I ain't murder nobody I know these words are so nutty
    But I'm just here to entertain

    How come your shirt is so bloody?
    There's a missing person, so what he's got nothing to do with me
    I'm almost certain I was framed


    Fred wreck is a master on doing beats like this, just look for his previous works..i was sure he would not make nothing less than great music here.


    I won’t say much about this song because it describes itself, so I’ll give it a 10/10.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    13- Nowhere Fast (Feat Kehlani) Rate: 6/10


    An unexpected Collaboration, and a song that I don’t really feel being on this album, but as he always address the s--- that happens in the world, because of course he’s always up to date, he literally said that no matter what we do will all die, if this terrorist thing keeps raising in the world


    I had Wembley Stadium packed
    But now we're on a path headed to nowhere and fast
    Another terrorist attacks
    Like a tariff grows, half of Madison Square up, alas
    We perish in the blast
    But that doesn't scare us, we pass
    No one, we're failures, 'cause we’re just—“


    The good thing is that he uses this situation to compare, what is like having a feud with him, and that he can easily end careers, as terrorist attacks easily end countless lives


    “f--- doing what you're told, act like a two-year old
    s--- is soon to go kaboom and blow
    Anyways, for emcees it's a funeral
    When I'm devisin' this rhyme
    'Cause I'm awake and you're mourning

    That's why I rise and I shine
    Like a new day has dawned on me



    Kehlani was just thrown on this track…I think to match the beat…so I’ll give this track a hard 6/10.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    14- Heat Rate: 3/10

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    RICK RUBIN ON HIS ROCK s--- AGAIN..GOD PLEASE..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


    This beat is a completely mess…that even Eminem knows it when he says:


    And you don't even know it (ayo, Rick, man)

    And what da f--- was that bridge?

    All day, all day, all night
    You ask, I stay the night
    With you, you say you're fire
    Me too, you're burning up
    I'm running—



    Yo rick! Eminem is not a rockstar. Eminem is a Rap god, And about the content…well we know Eminem f--- Hookers… he has a really introspective life, and this is his passion…after divorcing Kim, and maybe because hookers don’t complain about the premature ejaculating problem.

    I’ll gladly rate it as 3/10.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    15- Offended Rate: 7/10


    I know, I know Marshall that you don’t get the hate….but this is not the best track to use as your open letter to Stans, or better the Haters…


    I’m not feeling this beat, as the rhymes are not that clever


    'Cause nobody likes me, everybody hates me
    They want me to go eat some worms



    You’re on your Prime Eminem, and you won’t please everybody anymore…they want 10 years ago Shady… these old f---s does not know that you’re a grown as man…


    We thank you for everything you’ve made so far, and man…Chill, so I’ll l give it a 7/10.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    16- Need Me (Pink feat Eminem?) Rate: 9/10


    So, after Pinked s----d Eminem’s balls so hard… public to the media and to Eminem himself by spamming him with heart shaped emojis, I think he said “Hey Girl…this one is for you. Literally…go ahead”


    And PiNK TOOK OVER THE SONG…and did a h--- of a job…a really great track, with a happy vibe but if you deep analyses it, it’s a very depressing song…


    And we know this is for KIM (again) Kim used to be so f----- up…that Eminem as a sober guy, became her father…her mom…


    And when Eminem left her, she literally went off tracks. And turned her life into a mess, that almost killed her.


    This song grows on me every listen, and has so much replay value and will play a lot on the radio, if you guys were expecting hit without Rihanna…this is it!


    I’ll give this a 9/10 because pink took over the f---ing song.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    17- In your Head Rate: 10/10

    Wow, Scram Jones did some Wizard work on this beat, and the content is great

    “I’m packing up my s---
    As much s--- in the car as I can fit
    And I'm just driving as far as I can get
    Away from these problems, to all my sorrows I forget”


    Everybody did it at once in life or planned to do it, when you get flooded with problems, Eminem is a superstar but he manage to have as many problems as we mortals…


    “Starting my whole life over, yeah right
    Oh and I might go and
    Get hypnotized so I don't even recognize no one
    I try to look alive because there's nothing like
    Holding your head up high when you're dead inside
    And I just hide so in, case you're wondering why my insides showing”


    Yep, it would be great if we could start over everytime we were f----- up by life, but there’s not the case.


    This song is brilliant and very will put together….I’ll give it a 10/10
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    18- Castle Rate: 100/10

    This is the song everyone were waiting for, and don’t say no… even Eminem stating that he wouldn’t talk about his daughters anymore, he knows that she’s a public person now and it will end up in a situation where he can’t handle, the song starts with Liz Rodriguez on the chorus, and her voice is haunting and perfect, as Eminem try to make this song in a way that he’s reading letters that he wrote for hailie, and she probably read it already…now he’s showing to the world


    I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
    I'm sorry, we’re alone

    I wrote my chapter
    You'll turn the page when I'm gone
    I hope you’ll sing along
    This is your song
    I just want you to know that I ain't scared
    Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
    To do whatever, to do whatever

    December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie
    This is your song



    But we know that Hailie, is a public persona now, she has a lot of stalkers, a lot of fake accounts in social medias, just because of who her father is, and that’s so f----- up..


    Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
    For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
    Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
    Love, daddy

    Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup”


    The way Eminem raps this, the angry flow…and then the funny line…makes this song The best of the album.


    “I'm on the grind now
    I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters at studios
    While I'm tryna keep the lights on”


    He keeps showing us that even being broke as f---, he kept his dream alive, and to feed his little girl, to make her proud.


    I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
    This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but d---
    I never knew it'd be like this
    If I did I wouldn't have done it
    You ain't asked for none of this s---
    Now you're being punished?



    Yes, she’s being punished by crazy stalkers. Every place she goes outside of her closed circle of friends, and she’s not even a celebrity.


    Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
    That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold


    We all know that this bad boy character, is not the real Eminem…if you look it up you’ll find a lot of interviews, from different artists, saying that Eminem is a “Sweet and gentle Guy”


    So for me this is the best song of the album, and I want to give it a 100/10 yep…the review is mine so f--- you.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    19- Arose


    So when I saw this in the tracklist, I could never imagine the content or what he meant by arose, but

    When the song started with…


    If I could rewind time like a tape
    Inside a boombox, one day for every pill or percocet that I ate
    Cut down on the valium, that'll hurt everything
    But death is turning so definite, wait



    I just visualized a classic incoming….


    Then he goes like


    And it's your birthday, Jade, I'm missing your birthday
    Baby girl, I'm sorry, I f---ing hate when you hurt, Hai

    And sweeties, thank you for waiting to open gifts
    But, girls, you can just open 'em
    Dad ain't making it home for Christmas


    Ohh my god, can you guys Imagine…he missing his Daughter bday, and also xmas? This must have hurt him so bad, because it was his fault.


    I've got so much more to do
    And Proof, I'm truly sorry if I let you down, but this tore me in two

    The thought of no more me and you
    You gave me shoes, Nikes like new for me for school
    Doody, I'm trying, but you, you were the glue that binded
    So many things — time, I'd give anything to rewind it”


    Here you can see how a true friendship works, he got so depressed that he overdosed,


    “I had to walk down my halls and constantly be reminded
    By pictures all on my walls and I couldn't sleep at night 'cause
    That image burned in my brain of you on the table
    Me falling across your body, not able to stand to save you
    God, why did you take him?”


    He used to hang out with Proof daily, and suddenly there’s nothing but pictures to remember his best friend, the guy who literally gave his shot to the stardom, that’s some sad s---.


    Than everything changes, and we are make again with him wanting to tear this game apart once one more time


    “I'll put out this last album, then I'm done with it
    One hundred percent finished, fed up with it
    I'm hanging it up, f--- it!”


    This was his best choice of a song to close an album that maybe is his last, and he manage to say “Hey Rubin don’t f--- this one too” and Rubin did his thing!


    So of course this song earns a strong 10/10.

    I loved the Interlude, it's great tribute to the singer who passed away in 2015.
