I heard this has dethroned Taylor Swift as the #1 album
I’ve listened to Eminem in the past, but not in the last 20 years. I think I listened to Kamikaze and Music To Be Murdered By when they were released but just a single listen.
So not doing a track by track analysis. I may look up more to see if there is an overarching story. I know that there are multiple personas that Eminem plays.
I want to know what Christopher Reeves did to piss off Eminem.
It’s legitimately impressive how he can speak and enunciate words in specifics rhythms and patterns
I appreciate him explaining that the Christopher Reeves song had been around for 20 years, still don’t understand what the dude did.
Skylar Grey is the female voice on Temporary and she has a great voice for pop music, it auto-tunes so pretty, I think this is a stylistic choice. The song is also sweet, it’s his dedication to his child.
The album isn’t bad. Not something I am going to reach for often I don’t think but it’s also not something I would hastily turn off if it was playing.
