I’m so mad he doesn’t have physicals. His fanbase BUYS his music, why not utilize that for your first week with Taylor using every trick to keep her album number 1 😭.

Looks like Jelly Roll is credited as a writer on SOMEBODY SAVE ME - wonder if it will be a sample of his song Save Me? or a new feature?

That is so random, LOL. I don't see any common ground there, but that was nice of Poof! Anyway, Dr. Dr was only involved in 2 songs. I was hoping for more, honestly, but based on what I heard, it sounds solid. Physicals aren't dropping until October, which will probably coincide with Taylor Swift dropping TTPD: Anthology deluxe edition #1 on vinyl, LOL. At least they are coming, though. They look really cool, but I am going to wait until October, so I can see what Target and Amazon have in store.

I literally jumped up out of my bed when I hit play last night and heard his iconic 03/04 flow. This is one of his best albums. The production, the flows, cadences, how he went back and forth with his old voice/flows with his current ones. The concept of the album was flawlessly executed. While I dont want him to retire ever lol, Id be satisfied if this was his final album. It's the perfect high to go out on. Also, a lot of Em songs have made me cry (Mockingbird, When I'm Gone, Castle, Arose) but "Temporary" is the saddest song he's ever recorded. Holy shit ![:'-(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) .

This is an amazing cohesive album. Em comes in hard with the first few tracks. I need to relisten to be able to rank the songs better. Personally, I'd say this is a serious contender for AOTY, but I'm seing some great reviews (The Telegraph) and some lukewarm reviews (The Guardian).

There's no way critics are going to like this lol. They never rated his albums high because of the controversial lyrics, they certainly aren't going to like it today. Even if he's being self aware on the album and explaining why the Slim Shady character is no longer a good thing in "Guilty Conscience 2" and kills him off.

When Eminem & Shady's voices merge together in "Guilty Conscience 2" is GOD TIER and GOATED. Insane goosebumps every time.
This album gets fuckin' better and better with every listen. I'm so happy with it and happy at the positive feedback (from fans and hiphop listeners, the ones that matter here and not critics) that it's getting. King deserves.
Also, what he did on "Fuel" is DIABOLICAL. How is he still rapping like this at 51.

Love how he isn't trying to shoehorn a thousand words in a syllable like he started doing in the latter part of his career. This is OG flow reincarnated. Agree with think pink. this is one of his best. Probably right after his first 3 for me. Also agree that if this is his final album, he deserves ALL the flowers. What an album. If not for some of the references, this could have come out at his peak. As great as Houdini was as a first single (and it was perfect), it works even better in the context of the album. I wish I could have waited til October when the physical drops, but I'm still looking forward to purchasing this. I'm so happy for Em. Fuel, Evil, Lucifer, Guilty Conscience 2, and Antichrist are classics. Brand New Dance is a ki and a bop. Temporary is Skylar Grey's best feature. I can't even imagine Hailie listening to this song. Somebody Save Me almost broke me though. Beautiful song. SOTY material.

I was vocal about not wanting anymore Skylar collabs and here they come with their best collab on this album ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) . As soon as I heard her opening verse I knew it was special. So glad you love the album!. Also, it's crazy because he really should've just dropped this album in October with the vinyls. It's such a dark album, perfect for Spooky season!.

Still impressive that, even with the overall dip in sales/consumption across the board, he always clears a quarter-mil minimum. So many artists would kill for a devoted fan base like that.

It's a struggle today for artists to clear 100k WITH all the bells and whistles. He's doing 270-290k off streams and digital only whilst not showing his face once this roll out outside of a music video

Like so many album covers, this would have been 10x better if it was just the image. Those fonts are terrible!

He made an appearance today at the London pop-up. He’s so sweet with fans 🥹. The girl who was guiding his hand for the perfect angle 💀😭. She got a hug and I’m jealous 😭. Also the girl’s accent that he imitated 😭. Lucky fans! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9if7BzhPPX
