    what eminem needs to do on his next record:
    either go for a concept album and dont have any features; hooks or other wise and complete dre production
    or a pure hip hop album
    with people like rtj, royce, slaughterhouse, j cole, kendrick, etc.

    This album hurts my heart. It just shows how far the best of anything can fall when they stay past their expiration dates. This album is reminiscent of The Undertaker’s send off at Wrestlemania. We know their both legends.....but it’s time to pass the torch on. I hate this album because it’s an insult to me. I’ve always defended Eminem. Hell, I really like Relapse. This, after waiting four years for a full release is a let down that Sonic Forces dreams of matching. Eminem needs to recover big time from this disaster, and fast.

  • @food223

    The mixers are surprisingly: Dr. Dre, Eminem, Manny Marroquin and Mike Strange, being none of them strange to Em, since they pretty much mixed all of his Post-Encore stuff, weird.

    • @Psyteth
      @Psyteth 6 лет назад +4

      Ronald Ciresa dre barely did anything really. But he did do the interlude lol. Eminem himself said dre was on a break while he made this and only got back in studio just as he finished. Rubin and Mr Porter need to fuck right off and we need Dre and Bass Brothers backing the next album.... atleast they tell him when a song sucks.

      2.SSLP (a close second)
      3.TES (the level of maturity that suits Em)
      4.MMLP2 (best solo attempt since TES but definitely has its problems)
      5.ENCORE (i admit it has its issues but nostolgia)
      6.RELAPSE (i would of liked this more if it weren't for the accepts)
      7.RECOVERY (never thought this day would come)
      8.REVIVAL (basically took the worst parts of mmlp2, relapse and recovery and made an album with it)

    The album isn't too bad. I mean river,like home,nowhere fast,in your head,castle, and arose isn't bad. If you like hearing most of Eminem talking about his life today, this album isn't bad for it. I'll give it a 5.5/10. I mean this album doesn't show much of hip-hop/rap. But, compare it to every other old artists that started with one genre and is now going to a different genre for no reason! Eminem is trying his best,but failed. I hope if there's a deluxe edition of this with most of rappers.

    dude your trump thing was spot on, almost everything you said was.
    i like framed, the hook was a little 3AMish (i like relapse it had the sound), but at least it fit unlike the one in offended, even tho i liked the hook, just didnt fit in offended. lyrics, but not flow on offended changing so much. and the 2pac hail mary flow in believe was good, not the hoooooook tho.
    he ruined the chance for one of the best rock riffs ever in untouchable (inside of youuuuuuuuu). thats about it that i liked. the flow tempo never stayed. he did improve on flow styles and syllable breakdowns tho. i wonder if we will come back to this some day and be like wow, maybe our brains just cant hear it yet until we get them enhancement chips.

    I think Em really stepped out of his comfort zone with songs like Believe. It might sound kind of weird but not a lot of old artists try that trap flow. This project was mishandled due to too much diversity. At first you get a very slow song, then a pumped up song, then a rock rap song. This puts the listener off. But remember, Em himself said that this is what he was trying to achieve. Diversity in his work. At this point in his career, people should let him do what he wants to put out. Don't have expectations cz he himself said don't.

    Surprised that you put "Like Home", which has an insufferable Alicia Keys perfomance (the worst feature in the record by far), over "Remind Me", which used its sample almost brilliantly (too bad that Eminem's bars were really lacking).

    Eminem's Revival seems to be getting bashed, but this album is good to me. I feel like it's getting undue hate because a lot of people have a very narrow definition of what rap is. Because Eminem makes a lot of pop-rap and rock-rap, people just automatically go, "IT'S THE WORST ALBUM EVER!" This album had better raps then Encore, and better beats then Recovery. It's a good album.

      Times have changed since Run DMC. We now live in an era where Hip Hop is cursed with an especially vocal group of purists so extreme they say Kendrick's 'I' was not hip-hop enough for them. Eminem got the same short of bashing for his Beastie Boys style Berserk, with many people calling it "music for white people." Which is not only racist, but shows an ignorance of music history. If Run DMC came out today, they'd be dismissed in similar fashion.

    • @Franz_Morhart

      That my opinion. It's only your opinion the album is weak. There is nothing wrong with finding new ways to explore old concepts, such as Eminem using the linked songs of Castle and Arose to explore some interesting ideas from Recovery and Relapse in a fresh way, This approach is true in life, where we revisit and reinterpret old events all the time, and is also true of art. Nobody who listens to Michael Jackson Dirty Diana says it sucks because he'd already made a song about a predatory lover called Billie Jean.
      And I don't know how you can honestly claim that Ed Sheeran's hook on River wasn't catchy as hell, because I think it is!

      franz morhart No offense but your opinion is wrong. Your arguments are just out of place. No one is saying eminem can't revisit old concepts or look for new ways to rap (going into trap,having more pop features etc), he just didn't do it right. It's shit. So shit. If you ever see your opinion differ from that of most music critics/reviewers, maybe you should check your bias and make sure you're not just putting your head in the sand just cos it's Eminem.

      Sooo... your argument is, because I don't share the same opinion as you, it must be because I'm biased? I'm not some Eminem Stan who can't admit when an artist he likes makes a piece of art that is not very good Using Michael Jackson as an example again, I LOVE Michael Jackson, but that doesn't stop me from thinking that, despite having some good songs, HiStory was bloated and overly self-referential and melodramatic.
      Maybe YOUR just biased against Eminem, all of you, some calling it his worst album and "the worst album of 2017." Is it really THAT bad? Or does it just seem that bad because you expect so much more from Eminem. THAT'S bias. My own opinion embraces neither the positive or negative extreme. I said Revival has better raps then Encore and better beats then Recovery. I said it is a good album. Not a 9.5/ 10 album, or the best album of the year. That'd be ridiculous, and I could see you thinking I could be biased if I said that.

Em went hardcore to the left as he got older (most people , men, tend to go to the right it seems) and I respect and like that his values and ideals seem to have changed and align with my own . Having said that , I respect other people’s values and political opinions so long as it does not infringe on the well being of others . And regardless of his political stance, I think Revival is a great fucking album and can’t wait til I see him in Boston. Hope ur having a good evening/morning man . Peace ✌🏽✌🏽

    9/10, better than MMLP2. Castle and Arose are the rawest Eminem has EVER been, showing him off at the peak of his storytelling ability. Need Me is Pink's best song ever. River is great, and Like Home is Eminem's best political song yet. Remind Me is one of Eminem's best "funny" songs. It's laughable to say that this album is worse than Relapse and Encore.

      To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Eminem's new music. The concept is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of modern politics and human psychology most of the bars will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also Eminem's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his lyricism- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Zarna Joshi, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lyrics and flow, to realise that they’re not just fire 🔥🔥- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Eminem truly ARE idiotic Trumps supporters- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the genius in Eminem’s existential catchphrase “White boy, White boy, you're unstoppable,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Eminem’s genius wit unfolds itself on their youtube screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
      And yes, by the way, i DO have an Eminem tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that their music taste is just as shit as my own (preferably worse) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

    Rule of thumb, artists: Never name your album "Revival" or "Rebirth". J. Lo and Lil Wayne got mixed to negative reviews for "Rebirth" (if not middling sales), and few remember those albums today. And while it sold well, I doubt Selena Gomez's "Revival" will be remembered in five years.

      Zachary Jones it is hard to defend, but the production, mixing, flows and overall technical ability exists far more on encore then on revival. I easily put Encore above Revial, even if Revival has 1 or 2 songs better then a large chunck of that album.

Revival is just dull, A dull that will be ignored quickly. Encore is actively grating to this day. And it still deserved better than a 60 by aggregate. Em at his absolute worst is still more listenable than a lot of what the hell we got this year.

I don't like the album much at all (5/10 and that's being extremely generous), but I trust that he knows what he is doing. I hope.
