    Eminem did what he does best!!! Showed everybody NOT to doubt him. His wordplay is sick. Even if you cant relate to him... you cant deny he is the best in the business when it comes to putting words together and making sense...

    Great album from slim shady
    The album hip-hop world's been waiting for! One of the best of Eminem's work!!
    A master of his art. Great standalone tracks, and great as an album. Tasteful features are icing on the cake.

A brilliant return to form if kamikaze was slim shady resurfacing then this is him back at his full controversial form although I don’t agree with the Manchester bombing reference you can expect that kinda stuff from Eminem. However even though people argue argue that darkness doesn’t make sense because of the bombing reference on a earlier song it does make sense Eminem has been very much so open about his stance on guns. And following in the form of mmlp2 and revival he also tempts to sort of reconcial with his dad… Expand

    A desperate attempt at reconciling with the new generation but with so much resistance, that it leads to a bloated collection of mediocrity with soms bright spots like Darkness. Album doesn't know what it's going for and like most Eminem albums, has little to no cohesiveness.

    Eminem just needs to retire honestly, he’s washed up and boring. Massively overrated and his prime was over a decade ago. Album was BORING, mediocre bars, stupid filler punchlines that serve no substance except to be “clever” on par with newer Lil Wayne, terrible takes on pop culture, even the beats weren’t anything to remember.

    It’s a great work of art that has some songs on it that can compete with the top songs from Em in a long time. Great storytelling and doesn’t sound like an old man trying to act young or like he’s faking anything. Sounds genuine and some songs sound like he’s even having fun like he used to.

Yes, there are still tons of Kyles blasting his music while chugging mountain dew, thrilled to give this a 10, but that doesn't make it good. a Mediocre attempt at staying relevant.

Eminem continues to show why he is one of the greatest Rappers alive and of all time with tracks like “Darkness”, “Godzilla” and “Yah Yah”. Long live the Rap God.

    1 for some of the beats and Royce. The album is a straight up cringe fest and Eminem continues to have no discernable identity outside of being angry. On one hand he's joking about the Ariana grande concert bombing on the other he's crooning about the vegas shooter. He's got nothing left to say but he'll say it real fast.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fine body of work, bringing back that infamous Slim we know and love. We see Eminem on his element with storytelling and lyricism but not straying from good music. This is one of the best Em albums I've heard after 2010 after MMLP 2.… Expand

    If they look hard enough, any artist could find criticism of their work online. That’s sort of the curse of the Information Age. But not everyone overreacts quite as much as Eminem does. But if his fears grow tiring, his lyrical ability can still give you something to admire, even if the album is somewhat uneven.
