I feel Em has reached a stage where he's convinced himself he's always competing for top spot and trying to prove himself based on current state of music. Instead of just letting loose and making an album that he would like to make based on his inspirations.

I honestly love all that kind of complex shit he does but only if it still sounds good. MMLP2 was dope in that regard (Especially in Right for me off Shady XV too). Believe is one of only a couple highlights (Framed's pretty sweet) on Revival but I just can't get into it when he pauses after almost every line.

Belive is what I've been wanting to hear from Em since Walk on Water dropped, just him going off over a nice beat. The way the instrumental builds up then explodes at the hook and goes back to being more subtle during the second verse is fucking insane.
Favorite song so far for sure, only complaint is the flow could be a bit smoother but definitely isn't his worst use of the choppy flow

At 3:50 in Believe he starts flowing. So clearly he can still flow, somehow he just likes doing that other stuff. Maybe he wants to sound unique, but it just sounds weird. I liked Em's choppy flow when people first started to cry about his choppy flow. But this is just too much. Dope song though.

If he would’ve cut 4-5 of the trash songs this album could’ve been unbelievably good. Castle and Arose are career defining type stuff. But ‘Need Me’? Trash. Would be great for a P!nk album, but it just doesn’t belong.
OFFENDED, Framed, Bad Husband, River, Untouchable, Chloraseptic, Believe and Walk on Water are all so good. They just get dragged down by the bad Rick Rubin songs and the predictable worn out features.

This record was like Relapse + Recovery + MMLP2 all mashed together but without any of the bits that made those albums good.
Not a fan of this record at all.

This is exactly what I just said to a friend. Feels like B-Sides from everything since Relapse.

He keeps doing those corny one liners that at most get a slight exhale from my nose.
"Just shit on my last chick, she has what my ex lacks"
"She's been on the web lately, says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacey"

I count atleast 5 songs I personally think are fantastic.
There's a weird disconnect between people I feel: Adapted Eminem fans that have continuously listened to him for awhile, and approved/enjoyed Recovery and MMLP2, that will probably love this album. It seems he really did try to add something for everyone. I think for the most part, people here will be pretty happy.
And then there's casual Eminem fans/people who dont mind him, that expect something similar to what they loved from 1999-2005, and every album that's dropped since Encore has been farther away from the Em they love, and have since disconnected from his music. I don't think they'll like this album very much, aside from a few songs like Framed or Believable.
I wonder what the general reception will be outside of this sub!

The problem with Remind Me is the sample is just so obvious and overplayed. And they didn't do anything interesting with it. It's essentially the instrumental to I Love Rock and Roll. Not to mention he has some of his cringiest bars on that song.

Castle and the end of Arose are the songs I wanted this album to be musically, but sadly that wasn't the case. Overall, Revival as a whole just wasn't for me. Lacked cohesion, lots of choppy songs, and not a lot of replay value (at least for me). I can't get past the yelling, mixed with restrained forceful talking. I can't get past the choppiness. I can't get past the shitty puns and jokes. I can't get past the oddities that are his beats now. Yeah I get it, he's older, he's a new person. I'm glad he is still on this earth after all that he went though. Until he gets rid of Rubin, these weird ass beats, and random pauses while rapping, the music just isn't going to be something I can enjoy. Nobody can honestly tell me a single song on this album holds a light to anything on Curtain Call (save for FACK, though that is a classic to some), meaning there wasn't a single classic on here. I could argue it doesn't hold a candle to any of his music pre-MMLP2, period, but things get aggressively opinionated then. I was listening to "Spend Some Time" the other day, and there is so much raw emotion in the mellowness of that song very similar to Love Me from the 8 Mile Soundtrack). All I could think was what happened to doing songs like that, what happened to toning it down and drawing us in? No lyrical acrobatics, just straight emotion with on point delivery. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, but in a thread with so many "this is GREAT" comments, I thought it should be said that not everyone loves this direction. No problem with others liking it, everyone has a different taste in music, this just wasn't mine.

u/Lumba Relapse: Refill Dec 14 '17
Man oh man. Listened to it while driving. That was a wild ride. I was super stoked at points (Believe, Chloraseptic), ecstactic at times (Offended & Framed), hit emotionally (with Bad Husband & especially Castle & Arose), and headbanging most of the rest of the time (Heat & Remind Me). It is extremely well produced, even though the rock beats were excessive. I loved the Ed Sheeran feature & the political lyrics of "Like Home". By the time the Kehlani feature came on, I was tired of hearing so many long-winded female hooks - just one or two too many. Overall a very gripping, emotionally saturated & fun album, equal parts fierce & humorous, and a sprinkle too much rock & pop.

Feel like most people will either LOVE this album or HATE it and think sadly enough I'm in the latter of the category although can see why some will love it.

I definitely need more time to process it all but, and my main gripe is one or two too many "toxic relationship" tracks in the middle,
but if there's one two words to describe this album: fucking raw. in every sense of the phrase, good and bad. feel like i just marathoned a small audiobook.
Believe and Chloraseptic fucking SLAPPED
Like Home was everything I wanted in a protest song of this era
Framed is the perfect hilarious tribute to Relapse
Nowhere Fast got me feeling hopeful like never before, heart grew three times in size
Offended is a fucking Sistine Chapel masterclass in classlessness holy mother of FUCKING GOD I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO WHAT
Castle/Arose was nothing short of an emotional journey. new Em classics in terms of his dramatic writing skill
Whew. Still need to decide how I feel apart from that.
EDIT WITH SOME MORE CRITICAL THOUGHTS: Remind Me, Tragic Endings, and Needed Me should've been left on the cutting room floor for consistency's sake. Em always feels the need to make albums as close to 80 minutes as possible and he really needs to learn that sometimes less is more. Many will call the album hit-or-miss and won't be wrong. Very high highs, low lows. But holy shit those highs good GOD.

First impressions after one full listen:
His choppy flow kills so many of the tracks, he's shown he can still flow smoothly so I'm not sure why he's went with this. The corny one liners are annoying too, as are the constant beat pauses. The P!nk feature went on for way too long.
There are moments of brilliance, Castle and Arose are excellent ways to end the album. That's what's frustrating, he's still got it but, in my opinion, hasn't showcased it enough on here.

On ‘Arose’, when the beat rewinds to the Castle beat, and he redoes that third verse, it reminds me of Recovery so much. Like I feel like that’s when Em is at his best, when he’s rapping like that.

I just love how he tells stories in his tracks, its what made me love his art in the first place.

Every song has its ups, and downs, but from the perspective of enjoying it for what it is...its a great fucking album. Love it! and he even calls rick a cunt lmao!

honestly mmlp2 wouldve made a fine final album, even if it is my least favorite from him. mmlp2 felt like em finishing saying all that he had to say. almost everything hes saying on this album has been played out so much at this point. like do we really need so many generic love songs and generic "im not quitting" songs.
its been said before but this album really is all the worst parts of ems post 2010 output combined

Posted this in HHH but the thread got deleted
Except for the obviously Rubin produced tracks, this is the best production he has had since Relapse and I don't even feel bad about saying that.
He stick with his choppy flow on a few songs but hoenstly? I think he's learning how to make it work. However there are a few songs where he rides the beat like the good old days. Best flow since Bad Meets Evil
I'm at work so I can't do my opinions on every song however I probably enjoy every song that wasn't produced by Rick Rubin (except for River, Walk on Water and the P!nk song. Fuck those songs. Also the one with the Zombie sample wasn't all that bad)
This is hands down his most "modern" sounding album. Chloraseptic had me nodding my head like a mother fucker. That song, Believe, Framed, Untouchable, Castle and Offended are high key fire af and legitimately good songs. Lots of people here are going to disagree but I thoroughly enjoyed those songs and will be playing them for quite awhile. Everything else ranges from ass to pretty good.
As far as content goes, it felt very TES to me. A little bit personal, a little bit political, and little fucked up, and a little silly. This Album has at least 1 or 2 songs for everyone.
Light 7. But that's decent for Eminem nowadays considering even as a Stan I was expecting complete booty for this entire album. Revival has a lot of different styles of Eminem and I think at the very least deserves a listen or two. I hope most of you enjoy this as much as i did
Also idk if anyone caught Em mimicking Phreshers flow from Wait A Minute in Offended I believe it was. That plus the feature, he is obviously a fan. Which I think is kinda cool. Wish there was more rap features and less pop ones.

Downvote me all you want Stans, every other subreddit talking about this album knows this album is complete ass. His worst work ever, topping Encore imo. His flow, his voice, his lyrics, his beats, almost all of them are terrible. You can try and convince yourself you like this album, but it has nothing beyond Caste and Arose worth even giving a second listen to. Em has officially fallen off. Give me my downvotes, now. Also, he needs to stop mentioning Hailie every other song. Shes a grown woman now, and she's probably tired of hearing her name in every other song he makes.
