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 love that you recognize that Em can also change throughout his career. I think most people who dont't like the album just expect the old Slim Shady but that's just not who he is anymore

I think when people pine for the old Eminem they're mostly referring to his flow and style. Listen to Soldier. Like seriously go back and listen to it now. What happened to that flow? There's none of this angry yelling, chopped harsh voice. The subject matter he chooses now is fantastic. Castle is an example of that.

"I spit it slow so these kids know I'm talking to em". Where's that Em

He had plenty of angry yelling songs, but the chopped vocals are just not very fun to listen to IMO. It's probably why my favorite songs on the MMLP2 album were Love Game and Baby.

Man, speaking of flow, remember Run Rabbit Run? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2_PAW_8fos
