lmao

and i think he's terrible either way, isn't that just so funny

I've given it a few listens and I think it's good, but it's not anything near the Slim Shady LP, The Eminem Show etc. Not Afraid, Talkin 2 Myself, Love The Way You Lie, Going through Changes are my personal highlights. Normally I can't stand Lil Wayne but No Love has grown on me.

I havn't heard the whole thing, but so far it goes something like this... I don't feel like I know it well enough to give some of these ratings...

1) Cold Wind Blows- 3.5/5
2) Talkin' 2 Myself (Feat. Kobe)-4.5/5
3) On Fire-4/5
4) Won't Back Down (Feat. P!nk)-2.5/5
5) W.T.P.-2/5
6) Going Through Changes-3.5/5
7) Not Afraid-6/5 first time I heard it, didn't hit me as hard the second, 3.5/5
8) Seduction-3.75/5

overall- 3.75/5

I have a feeling it's gonna grow on me, though.

Its been growing on me. Its not like his other albums so I feel like it takes a degree of adjustment. Its a lot more honest.

I like it when it's honest, it's when he follows a Marshall Mothers song with an Eminem song that ticks me off (if that makes any sense)

It would be a wonderful album if it wasn't so damn overproduced and every song wasn't structured out like a single....
He sounds miserable for most of the album. I think Eminem makes the best music when he's pissed off but hopeless depression suits him fine. The lyrics are a little quirky, and even when he seems too depressed to crack jokes, he's cracking them. A few of the songs are absolutely terrible ("Cinderella Man") and on a couple of the tracks, I think he just gave up halfway through, but it has its moments.
Favorite track:

Uh, it's like

"Sorry for Encore, I was on drugs. Oh, and sorry for Relapse, I was flushin' em out. But now I'm back and I'm sober and I won't let you guys down!"

And I don't know how people feel about Eminem's writing drugged vs. sober. I'm just saying thoughtfulness doesn't dwell exclusively in sobriety.

This is no Marshall Mathers LP, but it's still a pretty strong album and the best he's made in a while. However, I cannot stand Lil Wayne's rapping and it completely ruins the song he's on for me.

Completely ruins the song, I just fast forward to Em's verse
