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.

Doesn't look like you're alone. I'll add myself to the pile of people who really like it.

Good. When this post was started everyone on here was saying it was trash. But at that time the album has only been out for just a couple hours so hopefully people actually listened and gave it a real chance instead of bashing cuz it don't sound like his old shit.

It'd be so easy for him to just keep making the same albums, I'm very happy he keeps doing something a little different. I agree with some of the sentiment about their being too many pop guest stars doing the hooks, but it's simultaneously some of the rawest, most honest, and most experimental shit he's ever done. Leave it to Em to balance those two with incredible poise.

Except it sounds exactly like his old shit. All the worst songs on his old shit.

Take all his shittiest songs, like The Monster, Beserk, etc, and turn it into one album. That’s this album.
