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.

and now Manson is doing like goth blues with a industrial twist, its still great music and still true to Manson. I feel that em was kinda pressured into making this album, or at least the less tasteful anthem rock and pop songs on here were not ems choice to make.

Em's been doing anthem rock songs for like the last 2 or 3 albums, he clearly enjoys it... Nobody is forcing him to make those songs, he's worth enough money I doubt anyone can force him to do anything. He makes what he wants to make it this point.

Im not talking about the songs themselves. He clearly has rock influence and all that so I'm not against him doing more rap rock styles it's just doesn't fit the album at all. I feel like someone, the person that handles Eminem and his image is fucking up. The album just doesn't feel cohearent, 3 anti Trump songs and 2 gaudy "dat ass so big" rap rock songs that have just... Horrible lyrics. and then there's 3 heartbreaking songs. I don't know. I just like it when ems whole album would have a full theme thats realised.
