    a big disappointment to a new Eminem and is a horrible way to bring more political music to Eminem's old out of date music

    Eminem's worst album, period. While this is his worst album, it is somewhat tolerable as some songs are quite good such as "Untouchable" and "Walk On Water", but majority of the songs are just lackluster pieces of music that are a tool, using mediocre pop artists for features to get more money and views. 80% songs aren't of substance, the classic trope of "I love my wife but I hate her"Eminem's worst album, period.

Moreover, staccato flow on "Chloraseptic" and the ear-destroying chorus on "Framed" ruin the album further. In summary, this is Eminem's worst and it is unbelievable how it took four years to make this album.… Expand

His Delivery is poor, and songwriting his ok (for his standards) it's messy, recovery was better, even though i would say Recovery was less emotional.

    Sure, it's music, but not to me. So dumb and has heaps of dumb strewn about. To put it in a way easier to understand it's trash and is sick to the bone.

    This album is an absolute piece of **** except for like a couple of songs. Too much pop, too much singing, not enough Slim Shady.

    An absolute disgrace of an album and such a letdown from Eminem that I want to pretend this doesn’t exist. Probably - no, definitely his worst project to date. This is awful, even if you are a fan on Eminem like I am, do not listen to this monstrosity. I don’t understand the 10/10s. This is should be a 3/10 AT MOST. Absolutely awful.

    Easily his worst project to date. Awful production, corny lines and mostly poor subject matter. Poorly executed and bad features. 2/3 good songs and overall one of the worst projects I’ve ever listened to

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. sadly Eminem hasn't made anything memorable since his old work. he has talent but it seems at this point he doesn't show a lot of potential and creativity in creating good music anymore. hes relying on lackluster production, horrible singing and pop artists. this coming from a man that use to scorn pop culture ends up becoming what he used to hate. i will stick to his past works. furthermore the record is too political with weak jabs at the orange man in office. this album shows an example of how most modern entertainment has been completely destroyed by celebrities and musicians feeling the need to preach on their soapbox and lecture people on how they should feel and think about current issues when its not their purpose at all but to entertain us. em you did this on encore which was also trash. repeating past mistakes and not learning from them echoes heavily here. in conclusion the guest features dont bring anything to the album either. dissing the current era while collaborating with them makes you look like a huge hypocrite… Expand

    Holy **** I can't believe i listened through this mess of an album. This was the first album Eminem dropped after I started listening to him in earlier 2017.

    This was just bad. Whiny, poppy, and just corny as hell. Love Eminem but this record should have never seen the light of day. Only redeemable track is Walk on Water, and even then that's just a notch above mediocre.

    It hurts to give Eminem this score... Pop features, bad hooks, weak lyrics spoil the entire album. There are acceptable songs like Bad Husband and Offended if you remove the hooks. But it is unbearable how many annoying features this album has

    A lot of unfitting production and cheesy lyrics, though "River" is a standout track. Outside of that, "Castle" and "Like Home" are the only average songs. As a fan it's disappointing.

    Easily Eminem’s worst album. Three years later, only a handful of songs are worth revisiting, and those aren’t exactly career highs, framed being the stand out

    A painful listen with unbearable performances from Eminem. He's a corny, watered down, and overall horrendous version of himself on this record. The reason it isn't a 0 or 1 is because of a couple passable verses and a couple really good features (Beyonce and Ed Sheeran).

    A very disappointing album with only a few genuinely good tracks. These being 'Castle' 'Framed' and 'Offended'. A bland beat selection and too many damn pop features are two of this album's most glaring problems.

    Eminem becomes everything he hates on this album. He is washed up, making nothing but poor pop tracks and rapping about Trump on the whole album. He shoots for To Pimp A Butterfly, but instead creates a heaping pile of garbage.

    This album, aside from the last two songs, gives me a headache. They relied too much on "Walk on Water" to become the next Bohemian Rhapsody and it didn't work. Will go down as a weak comeback album.

    Simply one of the worst albums and attempts at music I've ever heard. Pathetic lyricism and composition. Eminem used to be quite good, one of the best of his time... Now he is truly one of the worst.

    The album sounds like a demo, a really bad one. I wonder who actually wrote the album, eminem or a 13-year-old. The answer may be both, eminem's immaturity is unquestionable.

    This is a horrible Pop-album with 90% cheesy popsongs featuring cheesy popstars. Nothing for Eminem-fans, only made for radio-listeners and teenage-girly-girls. It is so sad. Worst Eminem Album ever. It is really really bad. It is like "love the way you lie" an whole album long lmao.

    At least a third of the tracks are songs I could do without. The other two-thirds show that whether you love or hate the modern day Marshall Mathers, he's still as relevant as he ever was.
