    Recovery would be considered better if he didn't keep sticking with that formula for much of the last 8 years

    Yeah well that's just corny @ anyone who does do that, and I do see it.

    Some people try look good in front of groups or be current...

    I am able to separate quite easily. Nothing he does changes what he's done... MMLP is an absolute masterpiece and I still consider him a genius. And I can still (and do) praise many aspects of his writing and rapping post comeback. But Revival is garbage, the worst album and era of his career and he's really pathetic and desperate right now.

    To be honest, I've been holding my tongue a little subconsciously even in my own head, giving him the benefit of the doubt since Recovery... I thought 'okay, once-off, let him have that moment... of using formulas and just going all out', then I was like 'okay come on now?' with s--- like The Monster anywhere near an album with MMLP in the title...

    Then we had years more of the same formula [s-----y loud rock pop rap beat > insert random pop singer + aggressive Eminem verses about a made-up toxic relationship or fighting against the odds] and I'm like 'uggggh' but I was thinking... SURELY he will not do that - AGAIN, after 7 years now, and not only does he but he epitomizes it.

    He used to be about surprise. Literally 90% of everybody predicted what the album would be and were right. Why does he not care about being THAT predictable, but also doing it so badly.

    I mean... f---ing NEED ME on a f---ing EMINEM ALBUM? He's an absolute disgrace to what he stood for. It's not about pop or not pop just for the sake of it like 'oh f--- pop stars man!', it's the fact none of it is pure. It's all made to adhere to formulas - with the neat little broad appeal verses, the broad mix of pop and rock, the sampling, the big-for-the-actual-sake-of-it names and nothing but love, love, love... He is an actual Britney Spears pop star right now. It's embarrassing.

    He has no idea how to put an album together. And I think he will never put out another great album. It's such a shame.

    True but nobody is denying his albums are average-bad. There is a difference how you and me look at albums. I look at it as a collection of songs and appreciate songs I enjoy/delete the rest. So I think its fine to say recovery overal is not good but I will praise the songs I do like. Same with his other albums (except HTS lmao)

    You care more about the album as a whole. Which is good btw, just makes our perspectives on this subject different.
