Monster is embarassingly bad

Postby Slim Stanley » Oct 29th, '13, 02:44

Let me just preface this by saying that I liked Recovery a lot, and I've defended it around here. It was the most mainstream album for Eminem but it was still tastefully done. "Love the way you lie" , the "poppiest" track on the album, was still a great song - great content, storytelling, a great hook. 'Monster' makes Love the Way you Lie look like fuckin underground shit.

Forget YMCB, this new track is straight up on some miley cyrus-flo rida-bubblegum pop-sounding shit. Not even Drake has ever put out something like this. It make me cringe just listening to it. I can tolerate the verses, but the chorus and production are god awful. Eminem wouldn't have gone anywhere near this years back. And to think this is on an album titled "Marshall Mathers LP 2" :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

As for the verses themselves,, baiscally this is more confirmation of what I expected and kinda feared - Em rapping like he's done in his recent features - choppy / start & go / changing up his voice. It worked fine in Rap God since it was a song basically about rapping. On a 'normal' song like this, it's more tolerable rather then essential. It's something that I may just have to get used to.

Anyway my hype just hit the bucket for the album , 4 tracks and none of them are truly great songs. Rap God comes close but not quite. Bezerk scores points for originally but the content holds it back. Survival is a meh Recovery throwaway. Monster is god-damn horrendous.

I'm a little disapointed in Em. I've never been a prima donna whiner like some people around here who seem to bitch about everything, but I just can't defend this track. I understand there's gonna be some radio friendly content, but this is beyond the pale for me. Em's lost it man.

The verses (which are far from perfect) can't save this song. The hook / production is on a Miley Cyrus level of shitty.

Sorry you're too dumb to grasp the weakness of his bars.. they're not SHIT, but lyrically it's not amazing. Calm down, bigray.. your Stan is sticking out.

Agreed, however fans will come up with anything to tell you otherwise. People need to stop lying to themselves and just admit the song is crap. Lyrics are nothing great this song is borderline mediocre leaning towards crap. Youtube section full of 13yo girls saying this is a masterpiece. I cant belive there is actually grown ass men on this forum saying the same thing.

Disagree, I followed all eminems albums and 'Recovery' was the least played. I played 'relapse' more, even then, as much as ppl would disagree with me, I only liked a few tracks on that. Reality is, the eminem show was a great album but nothing compared to infinite, sslp, mmlp, plus some battle tracks thrown in there. Bottom line , I think MMLP2 should be a classic because theres no concept so far

Of course NOW you would be saying this. After all the pressure is off of Recovery and on this new track. After the Recovery hate-storm has passed, and there is now a new direction in which to throw your feces.

You're a puppet.
