Just going to copy what I wrote in another thread, just to see if any one else thinks this album is ace. First and only listen so far..... Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013) Actually a very fucking good album. Obviously not a rap fan. But I do dabble a bit occassionally. Downloaded the rest of Eminem's albums to complete my collection, though. When he's being serious, he comes out with some really good material. And yeah, sounds mega on the Beats Headphones. Loving this. |

I think it's a good album but nothing compared to his other albums imo, hell even encore is better. He's changed his style of rapping and it's not very good on that album but I must say there are some fucking good songs on it such as bad guy, survival and evil twin. The lyricism throughout the album is really solid as well, the production could have been miles better though imo. He's really bad for putting too many songs on an album and his is a perfect example of that there are some unforgettable ones. All the hate aside I do quite like it haha but nothin compared to MMLP and eminem show.

True Story: I bought MMLP1 when it came out, due to both Real Slim Shady track's immense success, as well as thinking I was "cool" for buying it. I was still only 12 when it was released in 1999. White twelve year old, from a Middle-Upper Class family, i.e., very innocent, and sheltered. I was expecting more tracks like Real Slim Shady. Nope. I listen to it....Kill, Bitch, Kill, Kill, more Kill, Bitch, etc.....Scared the fucking hell out of me, and I didn't listen to it again after the initial listen. Ha, to be 12 and 13 again lol |

Yeeeah I know the MMLP1 is certainly an interesting listen to say the least, he was pressured to make something like 'my name is' by his management as he hasn't made anything radio friendly enough so he had to make RLS really quickly. Fun fact is that 'Kim' was the first track he recorded for that album. Image being one of his producers and hearing that and thinking fucking hell what's the rest of the album gonna sound like. I'm often torn between that album and the eminem show as my favourite.

I don't know that's the opinion of a thread I saw in 4ch yesterday when it leaked. The Eminem subreddit seem pretty happy with it, bar the Pink track. Of course, they're not the most impartial judges. |

funny, by coincidence i scored marshall mathers 1 on vinyl last week, what a great album that was. One of the very greatest rap albums of all time. How the mad genius behind that is the same man behind the generic, cringey, one-note nonsense on Revival is beyond me. I mean, forget the horrendous pop hooks and Rubin-rock beats, what happened to this guy's flow? It used to be that he could go over any beat and come out with flows that were varied and instantly unforgettable - now every single track sounds like he's constipated and has been chopped up in the mixing or something. The weird thing is that on the penultimate track here, Castle, he raps like he used to. Smooth winding flow that's impressive and dramatic. So it's not that he can't do it any more, it's that he chooses this choppy nonsense on EVERY. SINGLE. TRACK. Honestly, just listen to the last two tracks and forget the rest. |

I've never listened to Eminem albums. Only know a few tracks. Similar to Oasis in a way - scorching first three following by a lot of disappointing attempts to recapture the magic. |
