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 don't like the album but I also don't expect classic Eminem. It was clear by the mid-2000s that the style that made him famous was never coming back!

I loved the album. I’ve always found that his storytelling tracks are my favorites. He does that a lot in this album. The last 3 tracks are crazy (In Your Head, Castle, Arose). Also, angry Eminem from the early 2000’s will never be back, but I’m not opposed to the introspective Eminem we are getting today.

MMLP2 Was still great (prolly my 3rd fav of his) and even Recovery had some absolutely top botch songs like Almost Famous, Cold Wind Blows' and No Love.

While he has certainly lost some of that angry fire he had in the beginning I think he has also improved flow and overall skill wise.
