That's weird... I mean, I think everything has a similar feel to it... which is what a classic or consistent album should do, but the songs are very distinctly different to me.

And weirdly - I'm amazed he made so many musical styles work on it.

I was partially annoyed at the eclectic nature of MMLP2 - wishing he would pick a sound for an album again and nail it as apposed to 20 different musical concepts and tryna do them all.

But when you actually look at TES, it's pretty oddly musically diverse:

1. White America - metal-rap-rock

2. Business - party-funky-rap

3. Cleaning Out My Closet - emotional-piano-driven-melodrama

4. Square Dance - fucking barn-dance mock country-rap

And on and on down to the total goofy dancey-nature of ''Without Me'' back to the stadium-rock of ''Till I Collapse''... yet all the songs work so well together and the album feels so cohesive.

I don't know how he made so many musical diversions and clashes work on TES, it's easy to forget or not really pay attention to the fact there's so much going on musically, conflicting, due to the fact the raps are so overpowering. And I'm not sure why TES works so well like that and MMLP2 doesn't to me... I think the MMLP2 contrasts are perhaps stronger or the styles too blatantly different in spots or something.

But yeah - it's weird to me that everything sounds the same there to you, even laying them out like that - he bounces around from goofy to political to self-serious to introspective with all kinds of shit going on musically.


In the end, everything to me had the exact same vibe save for a few. Cohesive? Sure, moreso than MMLP2. I would agree completely. I just find the album itself as incredibly boring. It's not what I'd look for in an album, and there is nothing to it that feels special to me when listening to it.

SSLP, MMLP, Devils Night (shouldnt really count it but whatever), Relapse, and MMLP2 all have some sort of element to them that actually draw me in and make me want more. I'm not saying that Relapse and MMLP2 are better albums than TES, but I'd much rather listen to either of them at this point. They draw me in, they have an intangible element to them that TES doesn't for me.

TES just seems monotone to me. That might not be the right term. At first listen I thought it was great, but the more I listen to it the more I become disinterested in the sounds, and more importantly, what he's saying.

Bad Meets Evil Full Length with Royce would be so dope.
If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't,
I would have done more shit that people said that I shouldn't.

Well I don't know what to day then. The Eminem Show is my most played Eminem album, and I still listen to at least a song from it on a daily basis.
In the last few days, I've been listening to Superman, Sing For The Moment and Cleanin Put My Closet at least once a day. So I really don't know what you're talkin about.

Edit: and also Square Dance is in my top 3 Eminem songs ever, I always listen to it before a game because it hypes me up.

So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

No. It's more playable than Encore, Recovery, and anything he did on D12 World or Re-Up. It's a better album than MMLP2 or Relapse, but I'd rather listen to those two than TES as far as pure listenability.

It's personal opinion, I'm not trying to say it like it's a fact either. I didn't say it was a worse album than Relapse or MMLP2 either, I just would rather listen to those.

Okay, fair enough.
I think one of his less replayable albums is the SSLP.

I can understand that too, but for some reason I like it.
