For anyone interested, Em's new album is out there to be had... I got a copy off of suprnova.org... Ill say that aside from 'just lose it', its quite a good album... thats after one listen through... Ill add more when Ive heard more.... anyone else got it/heard it? thoughts? comparisons to his other albums - not as good as MMLP, but better than The Eminem Show I believe...

K.

thoughts? you're a thief.

Thief? harsh criticism! however, im sure im not the only one who has downloaded mp3s on this site.
(besides im a poor poor university student)

Beyond that, I like the album, there are a couple songs I culd do without... Just Lose it (obviously)... Big Weenie is another, but its kinda grownig on me... the hook is the annoying part... Eminem sings a lot of the hooks on the album now that I think about it... whether you like that or not is up to you really... All 3 of eminem's 'personas' are evident on the album as well... Eminem's flow is (as usual) pretty tight. Also as usual, there is a song about how he loves/hates Kim ("Puke")
Songs that standout:
Like Toy Soldiers
Yellow Brick Road (he apologizes for the racist tape he made when he was a teen)
Mockingbird (maybe the best song on the album, a song to his daughter)
Mosh

My room mate got a copy of it, hes a big Eminem fan and already has it pre-ordered as well. I used to consider myself an Eminem fan but as time goes on I loose interest. I do however recognize his skill and think he is a talented rapper, just not for me.

As far as the new album goes, I guess its pretty good. As you can expect there are the catchy beats with Eminem's distinctive flow on top, the rap is pretty good too. Eminem still seems to be trying to win listeners with shock value and his new album still shows that. True Eminem fans will look at this as Eminem attempting a new style but really hes just getting poppier; it's all in the eye of the beholder as to what you think.

I've just heard it played through so I can't break it down song by song but if your into mainstream rap at all or an Eminem fan then this album is defintley for you, I can't really expect it to win any new listeners since people seem to either love or hate the guy and hes already done better work.

I'm too lazy to read over so I apologize for anything that doesn't make sense.

thats exactly right... mainstream rap fans will love the album while people with a more 'ecclectic' taste in rap will probably not like it.

I like alot of the songs on there, there are a few that he will use as singles, like "The Real Slim Shady" and "My Name Is". But besides tha, it is a very good album!
