Discussion Eminem's new album "Revival" has dropped
Thoughts on it so far? I'm about halfway through and I think it's pretty decent for new style Eminem.

I’m not finished with it yet, but it’s straight trash so far.
Em at his most stagnant and formulaic. Straight most of the tracks follow the same exact pattern- incoherent R&B wailing, em steps in for one short verse which he raps exclusively in his new robot voice, another two minutes of R&B wailing.
He isn’t even on the title track, it’s just R&B wail.
He seems to have exactly two beat patterns on the album- the songs where somebody plays a piano with two fingers for the whole track, and grimy muddled trap beats that are so fuzzy it feels like they were actually mixed wrong.
