Eminem has 3 classic 10/10 albums, but after that it's very rocky. Encore was pretty tragic aside from a couple of great songs, Relapse was decent at best, Recovery was boring but tolerable and MMLP2 was probably his 4th best album, sitting at about a 7.5/10. Honestly, judging by the tracklist, this will most likely be his worst album to date.

Overall I think MMLP2 was a good album. It’s just not the type of music I want from him. I still maintain that Recovery was a great album.
His only truly bad album imo is Encore and Relapse.

Leaked. He samples I Love Rock & Roll. Oh...and @ In Your Head sampling Zombie by The Cranberries. Also, he apologizes to Kim on Bad Husband.

I think that the December 17 release date is provisional on iTunes and they want to drop the album first in the US. That said, this should be out at midnight, but in the hypothetical case that this doesn't happen, I will say it will be out at noon. "Walk On Water" came out at that time when it was premiered last month.

From what I sampled, I actually dig this. I am a stan anyway, so I never doubted the fact that I would be purchasing. I was just praying for something decent.

The song with Ed is amazing. He really sampled zombie? Someone guessed that awhile ago on line. Very smart.

“Arose” almost had me tearing up. Haven’t felt that way since “Mockingbird”.

26% drop in spotify streams compared to yesterday... more than I expected (10-15%), we'll see if that continues or it the drop slows.

I can't trust anyone who puts Recovery last (tongue face) I don't get the sudden hate for it. I'd totally put it in his top 3 for sure.

The album is getting way too much hate imo, I don't think it's his worst album.
Favorite tracks on the album:
River - yea this is a sellout but I still really like it Framed - Definitely reminds me of the Slim Shady LP, it's so different. Offended - The hook is so dumb but I love it. Castle - Might be my favorite of the album, this is great both lyrically and musically. Arouse - Love how it switches back to Castle in the end.

I remember everyone singing it's praises when it was released and hailed as a "return to form" for Em. I think it's a great album and his best work post The Eminem Show.
