If 'Strange Clouds'...

[EminemBase]

Had THIS tracklist:

1. Bombs Away
2. Ray Bands
3. So Hard to Breathe
4. Strange Clouds
5. So Good
6. Out of My Mind
7. Never Let You Go
8. Chandelier
9. CIrcles
10. Just a Sign
11. Where Are You

It would be SO much better to me.

I know these kinds of threads are repetitive, constant and slightly annoying but, it's also constantly annoying when you have great artists release a potentially great album in amongst some poo... and they end up with a medicore or just 'okay / good' album.

I think more rappers need to learn to stop filling their albums so much (unless every track is up to par or worth as much as the last), and have much less features.

I mean, that tracklist, to me... is pretty perfect. All those songs are great to me.

[Kill You]

I agree that rappers need to stop using album filler...

[SG.]

I find it odd that you took some really good songs out. Play for Keeps and Arena are dope as fuck (apart from Chris Brown, but whatever).

[Man1x]

Out Of My Mind pumps me the fuck up every morning.

The Chris Brown part is gay, but Arena's verses are great. And Plat For Keeps is nice as well. Definitely should have put them on. Why the exclusions? (At EminemBase)

[Blu]

This is why Em's next album needs to be 13 tracks tops.

[EminemBase]

Yeah, like rappers know when they have a filler song.

They do what makes them happy, doesn't mean you have to like it.

Oh I believe rappers like: Em, Kanye and B.o.B very much do know.

The ones I excluded, I feel... take away from the album more than they add to it.

The verses on basically all the songs are great. But the contrived and often unnecessary (for their own sake / for a hit) features / choruses water-down the songs, and sound awkward to me.

As for "Play for Keeps" - I just find that track boring.

i still think "Play the Guitar" is B.o.B finest song made for that album to be really honest. It sounds like a "passing of the torch" song. Its fun, funny... organic.

@Base- you ddnt like "Where are you" when it was released. Change of heart maybe? I've always thought that is the REAL "airplanes" on this album in terms of being something a mainstream audience would "relate to" and "update their status with"

I definitely agree. And that's why I think albums should stick to no more than 12-14 songs. And no skits is good as well.
