Album Review:
The first word that comes out of my mouth is WOW! The next word that comes out of my mouth is intelligent. Now that doesn't mean that I endorse Eminem's thoughts and lyrics, but he does know how to make a good rap album with intelligent beats and mind-blowing rhymes. After listening to the first track on this album you can tell that Eminem has been gone for way to long (4 years since his last album) because his lyrics in the first song are more explicit than anything he has ever done before. He spits out all the pent up frustration and anger he has been meddling over while sitting at home popping sleeping pills and watching Hollywood actors and actresses he loves to write about, but didn't have an outlet to do it. I think every song on this album is pretty solid compared to his last album, but if I had to say something negative (about the structure of the album) it would be that some of the concepts in the songs seem to repeat themselves. Rap fans won't be disappointed and Eminem fans will be happy that one of the most intelligent rap artists (meaning the artist knows how to make a great album through and through) has returned. Take a listen get ready to be offended and parents keep this album away from your household.
