Eminem's new album..

[Jokerman]

For me, it's pretty much like I first reported but now I like some of the other songs better than I did at first.

4.5-Same Song and Dance is still the best song imo. The beat, the rap, the voice are all perfect. Only downside, I know Em can be funnier.

4.0- Bags from Baghdad and Underground. I keep hearing the chorus for Bags in my head a lot. Downside, he dwells too much on boring lesbian put-downs on the third verse. Underground has great raps but it should have been longer.

3.5- 3 am. Grows on me. I keep hearing this chorus in my head, too.

3.0- My Mom, Hello, We Made You, Must Be Ganja, Beautiful- good songs.

The worst songs:

Old Time's Sake & Stay Wide Awake- they just do nothing for me.

Next worse:

Medicine Ball, Deja Vu, Insane- Just not that catchy for me. I just never feel like coming back to them. Deja Vu, sure it's good to hear about what he was going through, but that's good for the first listen to me. Same with the Reeve bit in Medicine Ball, funny the first listen, but that's about it.

This whole album has a claustrophobic feel to it, and it drags the listener into and under its morbid storyline with the force, sound and slash of propeller blades pummeling the torso. Ultimately what happens is this: you become draped in the tales, in no hurry to leave, in less hurry once suffocation stops dead the heart.

I loved Beautiful the first time I heard it and immediatley put it on repeat, but it got old quick. Like after 3 or 4 days of listening to it a few times a day it just got old. Beat isn't that hot, and his voice sounds really whiney. I realize that he's on some deep from the heart type shit on this song but that doesn't automatically make it good. I don't know if this is because I listened to it too much or what. I'm still saying My Mom, Insane, and Deja Vu are the best songs on the album. With My Mom and Deja Vu being slightly ahead of Insane. Having done a bunch of drugs before those two really hit home for me.

Edit: Whats with the love for undeground? Lyrics are dope but the beat is just way to fuckin annoyin for me to listen to.

17) Beautiful - 5/5. By far the best song on the album. I believe that this is the classic Eminem most true fans want to hear. Great track.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

While we were anxious and desperately waiting for a personal, introspective Eminem song, this one falls short, and falls short big time.

The voice is whiney, as DaFunk said.

It's corny...acknowledging that it's corny doesn't take away from the corniness.

It's too cliche "Here today, gone tomorrow, but you'd have to walk a thousand miles....In my shoes, just to see, what it's like, to be me"

no matter how true this may be, it's too cliche of a phrase. You gotta say it differently than "walk in my shoes"...no, Em.

"Unfortunately I am, I just hide behind the tears of a clown" - cornyness alert

come on, that's not the classic Eminem I was hoping for.


"I guess we would have to walk a mile in each other's shoes at least
What size you wear? I wear 10's, let's see if you can fit your feet"

come on....cliche'd...


I like his intention with this track. But it falls short.



Also, the beat for same song and dance sounds like a Cheers leftover. I bet Obie Trice listened to it and was like naw, not good enough.

I can't believe Jokerman favors this track the most.

The song is not even the same song and dance because we're still thirsting for Slim Shady but this one isn't executed well.

That's the problem with this album. The intentions are there, the concepts are there, but it's not executed well.

y no love for stay wide awake?

 

[Preach]

on Beautiful, he has a lot of lines that don't rhyme (and are corny at that, sofi listed some of them) and it just sounds weird. in Underground he has this one line where he goes "i planned the relapse the second i walked out of that bitch", and even though it doesn't rhyme, it just sounds badass. something about that track makes it really good, but i agree that the chorus is annoying. beat is kewl between choruses though to me.

 

[Pain Of Depth]

turns out Eminem knew about the Bruno thing

 

[Euphanasia]

i feel hello is one of the best songs on the cd.....maybe in the depths of the couch ooooo jack pot yeahh open sesame mouth down the hatch the feeling you cant match it rat tat tat on the door with the damn ratchet atack tack tacking the whore with the dam hatchet....lol crazynesss

how did you get all of that in your sig? i write like 4 lines and it tells me it's too much.

That's cool. I can see where you're coming from to a certain extent, but I don't agree. I don't think the voice is whiny at all, just genuine with the depression and pain he's going through.

Sure there are some cliche lines but a lot of songs have those. I really like the hook...I'll be you, let's trade shoes...

I was never the type of kid
To wait by the door and pack his bags
And hope and pray for a dad
To show up who never did

You can feel the pain in the lyrics. That's why I rated this song 5/5 and said it was genuine Eminem.

Why does no one like Stay Wide Awake? I think it's like the best song on the album.

 

[S O F I]

^I agree.

it's a good song but i don't think it's as good as my mom, insane, beautiful, deja vu or same song and dance or medicine ball

 

[chyeahh]

same song & dance and de ja vu are really good
beautiful, stay wide awake, 3 a.m., and old time's sake are good

the rest is average or wack.

it's been said he was only robbed a watch and nothing else.

 

[Flipmo]

Yeah, he said it was only the watch. Not like he can't buy a new one, unless his had sentimental value to it, then it's irreplaceble.
