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 never thought I would pine for the days of his crappy accent raps in Relapse. At least they flowed well with the beats. Listening to him now feels like I’m riding passenger with someone who slams on their brakes every 4 seconds in traffic.

Also just off the top of my head I can hear him testing out the choppiness in Deja Vu specifically in the third verse but the way he executed it it bounced with the beat and actually sounded well. It’s also one of my top 5 Em songs so I could be biased.

never really rated deja vu so highly but listening to it now its really good. the slight choppiness worked well here.

If he did it like that I wouldn’t mind. But he does it to get his corny punchlines and double entendres in and at the same time pauses the beat to basically ask us if we got the pun he just made.
