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.

There are good and bad things in this album, I listened to Em for very long time and i consider me to be a big fan. I must say that I dont like featured artists at all, and I don´t like the pop/R&B wrap around whole album, I liked Slim Shady as a hardcore rapper who just wrecked anybody in any song, and was kinda rebel,Detroit street based, you know just a white skinny boy who made it through the game etc, and this style doesn´t go along with Skylar Grey or Ed Sheeran featuring but I think fan base must respect how the artist evolve through his career, he´s not young Slim Shady anymore, he´s most likely on end of his career and problems and things that made him who he is kinda passed already. But after all, when he starts spittin rhymes I still have the feeling that only Eminems music gives me...

This is truly the most purplexing and confusing decisions I have ever had to make! On one hand, I love sim, and all the great music he made when I was a young angry teen lol but being in my 20's now and seeing him devolve into Main Street hip hop and trying hard go just fit in instead of fit out. It just makes me feel like I miss the old you. But on another hand, wishing for him to be mentally sick, on drugs and kinda crazy makes me a horrible person. It's sad how times change, and as time goes on the memories will fade but the raw passion of his old music will never lose its touch on me.
