Why use fancy words to describe a hardcore album that was produced with a rock theme in mind? Let's not waste each other's time; its either you like a track, think it's ok or think it suck. When you finally get to hear it you can tell me if you agree or not.
You need to keep in mind that this review is done with the standard Eminem has set for himself through his past albums (Especially Marshall Mathers LP), like he creatively says in in the last track on the album; he listens to his old albums to see if he can keep up with his competition hehehe.
Track 1: Bad Guy > Saved by the beat and the chorus. Rap sucks (OK)
Track 2: Parking Lot (Skit) > The skit from "Criminal" MMLP1 with a different ending. (SUCKS)
Track 3: Rhyme or Reason > (SUCKS)
Track 4: So much better > (OK), the chorus is a good sing along.
Track 5: Survival > (OK)
Track 6: Legacy > Finally we get to a song worth sinking into. The raps, the chorus all work so well. He's not screaming so much here atleast.(TOO NICE). One of the best songs on the album.
Track 7: Asshole > (OK)
Track 8: Bezerk > Ok, the chorus does some good saving here aswell. (NICE)
Track 9: Rap God > I'm not sure what makes this song as great as everybody says it is, this type of song needs to be on a mixtape, not an album. It's a great show of lyrical ability, but not for an album. (OK)
Track 10: Brainless > Another track up for contention for best song on the album. He makes the shouting work here. Showing lyrical ability with a concept atleast. (TOO NICE)
Track 11: Stranger than I was > A weak attempt at singing. (SUCKS)
Track 12: The Monster > Em and Rihanna make a good combo. Em has a nice flow hurrr (NICE)
Track 13: So far... > The beat sucks and sets the mood. Em struggles to save the beat. (SUCKS)
Track 14: Love Game > Same as above, Eminem and Kendrick just doing something hoping it works.
Track 15: Headlights > Talks about his Mama, in kind of a good way. Makes the slow tempo and shouting work. (NICE).
Track 16: Evil Twin > The last contender for best song on the album, this song is the only song on the album that really fits what the 1st Marshall Mathers LP was about. (TOO NICE)
DELUXE ALBUM EXTRAS:
1. Baby > Eminem shows his chorus making ability again, real catchy, really nice. (NICE)
2. Desperation > (SUCKS) this rock thing isn't working.
3. Groundhog Day > (OK) Punchlines and creativity.
4. Beautiful Pain > (OK) the chorus makes you want to listen to the lyrics, has nice moments in it.
5. Wicked Ways > (OK).
My overall view is that the whole rock theme failed Eminem, this is my least favourite Eminem album.
