These are the tracks I don't fukk with:
-Won't Back Down
-W.T.P.
-Space Bound
-Love the Way You Lie
-You're Never Over
By itself, I like the album more than I don't. It's nowhere near as consistent or enjoyable as Relapse, but I get what Eminem was trying to do and it was the kind of album he needed to make. He had to reestablish himself for the newer generation and take advantage of what was out there.
I hate what the album represents because everything wrong with Eminem's music can be traced back to it. Pop features, weird production, screaming, corny punchlines. If it was just a one-off, it would have been fine because a lot of artists felt pressure to put out something trendy and relevant in 2010. But they looked at Recovery's success and thought that this was the direction to stick with. And that's the problem. The album reflected the era it came out perfectly. Then they doubled down on it with MMLP2 when this sound was on its way out, and by the time Revival dropped, Eminem's music was insanely out of step with what was going on in hip hop. He would still be making music like that now if he wasn't laughed at for Revival.
I think the album would be better if they added the bonus tracks ("Ridaz," "Session One"), removed the five tracks I mentioned, and played a little with the sequencing.
