Anyone else dreading Eminem's new album?

[EminemInsider]

I can't think of a single reason to get excited. All signs point to it being a snoozefest.

He has given no indication he has any plans of giving up his terrible artistic choices that hurt Recovery and made his post-Recovery music the cure for insomnia. Does he have anything to rap about anymore? Any inspiration at all? I sincerely doubt it.

I'm expecting an album full of poppy beats, corny punchlines, and bizarre flows and incongruous yelling/whispering.

[ImANoob]

wouldnt say dreading, just not excited. im more excited for j coles next album to be completely honest

[Suzanne.s]

I'm super excited!

I don't know what to expect, and honestly I don't think it's going to poppy with crowded producing. it's going to be dope!

He did everything possible in the rap game and killed it and done it better than anyone else. Anything new we get from EM now is pretty much a treat considering his age and what he has been threw in his life, the guy almost died and he is still here killing it.

I wish more people had this mentality.

[Supershade]

I dont believe you

Recovery is not a good indicator of anything. That was an album he made 3 years ago.

When has he once carried a style across two albums? HE NEVER HAS. So what makes you think he's going to start now... ?

"Here Comes the Weekend", "Numb" and "C'mon Let Me Ride" all actually had smooth-ass flows with decent lyricism throughout and no "omg " corn lines... so I actually do hear a progression, not to mention the BET Cypher verse.

The songs aren't great but his verses are nice as hell.

He focuses on a new sound every album, there's absolutely no reason to think he's going to continue with the Recovery sound. He said himself he gets bored or doesn't like it if he hears something and sounds like he's done it before, and that he wants to sound different every album.

Listen to how INSANELY different Recovery is from Relaspe. And how absurdly different they both are from the rest of his catalogue... almost as much as they are from each other.

I'm indifferent right now until we get some official info or material. Speculation is aimless, none of us know; and all the indications in his character, image and demeanor... and the BET verse, and the Art of Rap verse all actually indicate he's going dark and classic. So I have no idea what he'll come out with, as always; just wait and see.

No.

We haven't really heard much to go off of in the last 3 years tbh. I can't see it being crap though.
I'm excited for promos, shows, pictures, music... all of it!

wat signs

Yeah i'm literally the opposite. I got a great feeling about this album, unlike some of the overly-pessimistic pricks on this site

I think this will be the first "regular" album after Recovery, since Relapse and Recovery were both about his addiction, and overcoming it.

We have no clue what the album is going to sound like, and that's my biggest fear. The fact is he CAN just say "fuck it" and make an Encore 2.0.

Bigray is absolutely right…Em's proved himself, but it's not a good thing. Him no longer having the hunger to be the best/gain respect from peers just means he has opportunities to completely mess around. That was his mindset during Encore.

I'm somewhat hoping this album is good though.

[LMShady]

I am more hyped for this album than Recovery, maybe it's because we had a fair chunk of solo songs right from Relapse up until Recovery but this will probably be something new, always seems to change his style on every album. So in answer to your question, no.

[Mathers]

No I'm definitely not, my expectations aren't high though.

No, his mindset during Encore was, "Where'd I put my pills? Where are my fucking pills? Did YOU take my pills? Give me a one on one, I'll FUCK YOU UP FOR TAKING MY PI...oh, there they are. *pops 20 valiums*"
