Upon my first review of this album I gave it a 5.5/10.
After spending a good amount with it and listening to it fully through numerous times including the bonus tracks I've going to revise my review of this album.
I'm going to give it a 2.5-3.5/10
I actually liked the album when I first heard it since he wasn't using accents and didn't sound all emo like recovery.
Without a doubt the best and most standout track on the album is Legacy... bonus tracks included.
Bad Guy was alright but not worthy of the praise of being a sequel to Stan.
I actually like Monster and the country type song after it and Rap God sort of grew on me.
I also liked the song about him apologizing to his Moms, but he waited to long and now she's on meds and he said her state of mind is deteriorated so she probably wouldn't even know what's going on.
That's bad for a almost 20 track album to have really only one stand out song that I would go back and listen to.
I tried to force myself to like the album due to how dope Em was back in the days and I really wanted dude to get back to or close to those days, but I just can't mess with this album but to the rest of his fans still holding on and saying it's dope then I'm happy for you guys and enjoy it.
I will say this though he was more of his old self on this album than the previous two and even though many are saying the lyrics are
I don't think his wordplay, flow, and delivery are back to the first 4 albums yes (4th being the 8 Mile album and not Encore) but he's as close as he's ever been.
