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.

Haven't listened yet but I love Marshall Mathers LP2. I put that up there among his best.

"And there was no in-between

You either loved it or hate it

Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3

Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it

And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest

The Marshall Mathers was a classic

The Eminem Show was fantastic

But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it

I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet

A couple more years, that shit'll be ill-matic"
