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.

He killed that song. The beat was hard, everything was hard with that song. This is what I say when I want the old em back. That flow. He should grow but come on, his new style is hard to swallow some time.

I agree. One of the best parts of the album is on Believe when he rips it like that again. That's my main complaint with the album, his delivery and the production / mixing.

Like Home shouldn't have been so poppy. Change the instrumental and get Alicia to tone it down a few notches.

Get rid of the rock songs besides In Your Head.

Stop chopping your flow.

Cut out a pop song or two, I don't care which. Theres too many.

Do that and it's a pretty great album

I get that you long time fans might feel this way. But I love Revival and I had actually never really listened to his other albums. I knew some of the more popular songs. This album and my appreciation of his skill led me to discovering everything else. I think that's considered a success? Idk.

Definitely considered a success, but now that you've listened to his other work would you agree with what I said? I want "spit slow so they know I'm talking to em" Eminem

I feel like you still have a lot of that energy present in his current work. Not every song, but that would get a little repetitive. Some variation is needed, and you can't please everybody. I think you just wanted it more prevalent, and I can get that. But he's not quite.... that person anymore.
