    He started the album with WOW and Believe then the train went off the tracks. If this was condensed to like 10 songs this could've been his 4th classic, better than MMLP2

    Walk On Water
    Believe
    Untouchable
    River
    Revival interlude
    Like Home
    Bad Husband
    Nowhere Fast
    Offended
    In Your Head
    Castle
    Arose

    Instead we get a very inconsistent album filled with more generic pop relationships, a cringy relapse throwaway, very cringe rick rubin rock rap f---ing anthems and more untapped potential. Believe, Bad Husband, Castle, and Arose are some of his best songs he's ever written (yea I said it) but the greatness of these are overshadowed by some extremely mediocre songs

    I don't think he'll ever put together an all around great to classic level album again. As soon as he taps into something great he doubles down with the safe and painfully average. He needs to go back to self production and be around hip hop minds and people who will be honest with his material. Leave Paul behind. This pop stuff wearing very stale. Lyrically hes evolved and is better than ever. Musically however he is still stuck in mediocrity. I believed in you Marshall
    :empalm:
    I still believe in you Marshall that last classic is in there somewhere. I will never turn my back on you

    Also the Revival/ America concept is very messy. This could've been executed so much better

    I never want to hear Like Home, Bad Husband, Nowhere Fast, Offended or In Your Head again, so I think half your tracklist is pure trash

    Couldn't have said it better. I wanted to write my opinion after the first listen.
    Also why doesn't he rap consistently ? Maybe WoW is most consistent flowed song on the whole album

    Theyre great songs but you dont listen to lyrics you're just stuck on the instrumentals

    Like I can get over good sounding song with trash lyrics but a trash ssong with good lyrics is still unlistenable
