Eminem's new album "Revival"


lightsout

Recommended Posts

So it released today. There are some good songs but overall the album is just....bad. Disappointing. Production quality is subpar for even the most middling Eminem album. He's still got all the lyrical skill in the world, but it's...I don't even have the words. I was so excited and now I feel like I've been tricked and this album is just a joke.

It may grow on me, but it's just not at all what I was expecting from an Eminem album.

I know we all grow up, and it is unreasonable for me to expect him to talk about the same thing he did 10-15 years ago. 

But I agree, I was giving the album a listen yesterday in the car, and there was never that “moment” that made me go “wow”.

I don’t know who produced the album for him, but it seemed very cookie cutter, and seems almost like they said “hey we did this in the last album, let’s do it again”. They took a older rock song, and remixes it (twice, which I don’t mind I actually like it usually, but not this time), did a slower song and then had Em “switch” at the very end to tease something later that never shows. 

He is my favorite MC of all time, his albums have a special place in my heart and it’s been good to see him grow. But this album was a miss. Hopefully we see another album that “fixes” this like recovery/relapse.

It's a weird album.  It's probably one of his best overall, but nothing that makes it worth listening to over and over again at the same time. Usually there are songs I like and songs I hate, and there are neither of these on this album. I won't be pulling any tracks off of this album to add to any playlists, but at the same time there's not a song that I can't stand listening to or just think outright sucks.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
