Jester - what do you think of the album?
I want to know if I should even listen to it once.

You should. Just btw.

I've been meaning to - so I suppose I'll give it a listen. I couldn't even get through some of his other recent ones but this one seems like it may be worth it

I voted decent. I found some of his humor a bit funny, but as for sound goes it's just mediocre. I was also a bit disappointed by the lyrics because I keep hearing how this album, in terms of lyrical content, is better than his previous ones (which means his other ones must be terrible - but it's not my position to judge). I don't mean to sound elitist, but I never understood why Eminem is considered so great. I know so many other hip hop artists who are more diverse in sound and more complex in lyrics. He's a pretty funny guy when he wants to, though. I also noticed that he and Genesis P-Orridge (before he went through his changes) look somewhat similar.

That's a definite fuck no to any physical similarities.

Why? Are you gonna explain yourself or just hit and run?

I'm not an Eminem fan at all, but come on, he's obviously not better than he was when he released MMLP or SSLP.

As far as his writing goes? He's still cheesy as all hell.

Oh, and I disagree with the idea that it takes sobriety in order to write thoughtful raps.

Actually, I think that most people would argue that Eminem writes better when he's on drugs. He wrote both "Relapse" and "Recovery" while sober, right?

It's a very good album. Can't say it's his best album, but we'll find out

some of the songs are ok but there's a couple that are terrible like the one with lil wayne (though that's lil wayne's fault)

that's odd because I often think Lil Wayne is better when he does a rap with somebody compared to when he's just the only one in the song

lmao
