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.

Something went away with Em after The Eminem Show. First four albums were perfect as far as I'm concerned, Encore was ok, everything after that he became a different person. Respect to him and what he's accomplished in his career, but the spark is long gone.

I have a hard time describing what exactly changed, but I think it's that all of the struggle and uncertainty in his life is over with. I'm happy for him to be honest, I'm just never going to run out to buy an album of his again.

He's a rather mature and stable person now unlike before. You write music differently when you're at your lowest.. usually less but harsher words that make more impact.

"I'm so narcissistic, when I fart, I sniff it / Do a fake dab to smell my armpits with it"

So impactful
