Butthole Splatters LP Ha ha, we like to have a laugh. But seriously, approaching it critically, Butthole Splatters LP
Not my style
I have a friend who loves this album, so again I was interested to hear it. He does have a good voice for this sort of music. And as I have said beforei don't mind this genre. But I just didn't enjoy this. It could have been the swearing though it had all been blanked out except for the intro. (Can't see the point in that.) It's just too in your face, it's too...... I can't really define what but can't give it higher than 1.
I tend to appreciate shock, anger and rudeness in songs (I'm being polite in my description of certain lyrics), and feel the mood the artist is trying to create. I just feel rappers just take it too far in their boring rags to riches life stories- they are all obsessed with this. No one actually cares (I hope). I've always hated Eminem, because of his whney, whingeing voice but I'd give this a fair crack. It's horrible. The only redeeming song was 'Stan' as I liked the dark humour and story to the lyrics. For that he still gets a 1 star.
Pure trash.
🥱
I don’t need a rap album to hear the thoughts of dirtbags whose brains have never fully developed because of fetal alcohol syndrome or whatever is wrong with them. They will tell you their thoughts. Loudly. UFOs are making chem trails turn everyone on the flat earth gay and their ex’s boyfriend been talking shit and is about to get fucked up, not to mention their bitch-ass parole officer and their whore mom. Cool. They’ll gladly pour their half-thought out nonsense into your ears any chance you give them. Or you can listen to the Joe Rogan podcast. There are plenty of sources of dirtbag ramblings. You don’t need to listen to an album to hear them. There are so many things worth rebelling against, but when you start to lump into that category the fact that you’re not allowed to drive drunk or hit women or kill people that piss you off, then I assume you’re not a serious person and I’m not going to listen to you. I think that is something that bothers me about a lot of music geared towards angry young men. Youth rebellion is such a powerful force, but life beats you down so fast that it only really lasts from ages 15 to 25. If we could concentrate that force at something, we could change the world. But not the whole world. Just maybe one big thing. But pop/rap/punk music is the thumb over the nozzle of the hose that makes that anger come out fast and hard in a bunch of pointless directions. If an entire generation was like “we’re really angry at the way the world is!” and all of their pop/rap/punk stars were to say “Yes. The world has a lot of problems. Let’s fix one.” then they could end employer-sponsored healthcare in a generation. Then the next generation could end fossil fuel usage. Then the next could reform policing from the ground up. They could use their anger to make real change instead of having it spray out uselessly in the stupidest possible directions. All of these “rebellious” musicians are just tools of the man taking the power of youthful frustration and diverting it away from anything that could create real change.
Weak
Nope. I remember buying the is n disc when it came out and absolutely hating it. Since then I’ve grown into an Em ‘appreciator’. There is some undeniably killer material on this.The Way I am, Stan and others are brilliant. The misogyny, homophobia and immaturity are too much to take. I cannot support it, even if some of it is meant to be therapeutic or tongue in cheek. Nope. Fuck that. Fuck him. We have to do better.
I have now read a lot of negative reviews of this album and I agree with all of them. I hate this.
Sorry Slim, it's a no for me.
He sucks so bad
Eminem (or whatever persona he's choosing in the moment) is a very technically proficient rap artist. However, I have never been on board with his music because I didn't like him particularly much, but this also means that I have never listened to this album. This was absolutely disgusting. It was an onslaught of extreme homophobia (he is OBSESSED with gay sex), misogyny and violence and I don't care what point he is trying to make, many of these lyrics are not okay. I struggle because I listen to a lot of music where I have issues with similar attitudes, but I have definitely found my line. I felt physically sick listening to "Kim"; actually, I felt physically sick listening to quite a few of the tracks. It took me three days to get through this album. I know he has matured since this time, I stand by the fact that his rapping skill is phenomenal, and he has put out some really motivational tracks since, but I am absolutely horrified how popular this album was in its time and I don't care if he has skill, this doesn't deserve anything other than a 1. Fave Track: Stan Rating: 1
Artiste connu de nom uniquement. Répétitif et inintéressant. Arrêt au 3eme morceau. =>1/5
life is too short to listen to a full eminem project
A few classic tracks (especially Stan which is probably his best song) but freakishly too long and repetitive in its themes, filled with filler and shitty sketches. Obviously the homophobia and misogyny are rampant, but there’s also nothing lamer than a rapper who keeps dunking on boys bands and Britney Spears. Eminem is a talented and unique voice in hip hop but supremely overrated bc white non-rap fan critics could identify with where he came from and what he was saying. Gen Z proceed to cancel Eminem. He needs to leave Christopher Reeves alone :/
exhausting
Opens with "s*** my f****** c***"
I am an old bastard and I clearly struggle to get rap. Through the 1001 I've been educated to some extent by reviewing Slim Shady, Beastie Boys, NWA, and Kendrick to name a few. Most of these, despite some low ratings given, I can see some value in. Even this hass catchy, well produced beats. But the lyrics of this is nothing but macho, antisocial, racist, misogynist, dick-swinging. I didn't even feel the anger in it that it tries to portray as NWA did so well in pointing out the ravages of the Compton experience. This is purely, an attempt to up the ante on shock value and self promotion within circles with like mentality. He succeeds with turning the shock value up to 11. It is VILE. But his self promotion leaves me looking at him as smaller. I have given a 1 star to the likes of NWA as being too angry and, admittedly, unrelatable. But I did recognize they were shedding light on their reality. I find it insulting to that 1 star that I can't give this 0.
I really, really, really don’t get the whole Eminem thing. It’s like he takes all the criticisms of misogyny and glorification of violence and strains out everything else to focus just on that. Let’s talk about how awful women are and threaten them with violence! Oh and for good measure let’s do the same thing with gay men. Needless to say I didn’t listen to the whole thing but I gave it more than it deserved.
He’s a technically talented rapper , but aside from a couple of tracks the beats & production in this album are so weak, almost amateur sounding ! The lyrics are mostly angry teenager level of sophistication.
Look Eminem super talented but having listened to this for the first time in years it's so homophobic you can't even say it's of its time. Hip Hop and Rap have always had this problem and it's still an issue but not as much as it was. There are stand out tracks but can't list them and only a 1 star.
Emidnem, this album stinks
"Um, actually it's super cool to include a minute long skit of blowjob noises, playing pretend that two grown men are fantasizing about you while they blow each other." - Eminem fans This album is cringe-fest wannabe cool guy garbage.
Why did we let this misogynist get famous
I made it half way through the first song. 1/10
Ughhhh he’s so skilled but the violent misogyny was too much for me
Not my thing.
Fuck this shit.
TLDR: This album could've been called "I Should Go to Therapy." I'll get the one good thing to say out of the way: The music to Kim sounds like the Corporate Ministry theme from the WWF and that goes. I wish this album went past the submission process for this list and I didn't listen to it. Some of the albums I've listened to for this I'd consider BAD but this was maybe the worst to get through so far. Why? Beats - solid 3/5, would be 3.5 if I could rate it as such Flow - 3/5, not my bag but not bad Delivery - 4/5, it's powerful and committed Lyrics - instant, irredeemable 1/5. So much so that it weighs everything else down. I grew up in the 90s and graduated high school in 2003. Eminem was inescapable. I never got into him, at the time not being into rap but since opening my mind. I've added "Without Me" to my running playlist. But, damn, dude, these lyrics are SO misogynistic and homophobic, what the fuck am I supposed to do with this? Forget the murder fantasy schtick, I love death metal and Gravediggaz did it great, but, oh yeah, the rape fetishizing too. Fuck off with this.
Trying really hard to view this through the lens of the time it was released. This is when hip hop went to shit as far as I’m concerned, trading in simple bass and drum beat backing for fully produced “songs”. It moved the focus from MC to producer and I think the art suffered. Undeniable that Eminem's flow and delivery were totally unique when this was new. But lyrically, it’s impossible to enjoy this album. Murder and rape fantasies, over the top misogyny, homophobia at every turn; this is an album made by a fucking narcissistic sociopath. This influencing an entire generation sort of makes our current shit society a little more understandable. This is juvenile, selfish, garbage.
i’ve already listened to this album recently for the first time. though eminem has technique, this album aged pretty badly due to the random attempts at being edgy. at this point, it really took away from the listening experience. this is the only eminem album i’ve ever really sat through and listened to critically. i know he can do much better with this, tell us real stories about your life or something, the edgy aspect is overdone and takes away too much.
im supposed to hear this misogynistic shit before i die? fuck this lol this shits ass
If I could give it a zero, I would
Obviously, hip hop is not my thing. I learned this after listening to this album. I mean, all the songs sounded basic. Basic beat. Nothing else. I'm not doubting Eminem's talent, but Jesus Christ, is he vulgar. There was a whole song dedicated to murdering his at the time wife. I get that he's a chill guy in real life, but if I didn't know that, I'd hate his guts. I did not enjoy this album one bit. Actually, that's a lie. I like The Real Slim Shady, but that's it. 1/5
This album is fucked up. I guess that's by design? The only Eminem I really know is 'Without Me'. I was a kid when that came out and it was like my first favorite song ever. But for whatever reason hip hop kinda fell away from me and I started listening to other genres. I could only listen through this once, and I breathed a sigh of relief when it was over. Some of the songs are incredibly disturbing. 'Kill You' is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. I get the shock value is probably part of the reason the album is so highly rated, but it just sort of disturbs me (again, probably by design). 'Kim' is so fucked up that I feel like listening to it has ruined the rest of my day. The thing is, the beats are actually pretty good. And I've always somewhat liked Eminem's voice. Also, the album has one song on it that I like. In fact, I love it. 'Stan' is an incredibly clever track and a pretty powerful statement on toxic fan culture. Other than that, I absolutely hated this album. 1.25/5
He just talks about himself at a quick pace for 78 minutes.
There is a video where Eminem shows off his ability to rhyme the word orange and I find it so funny that anyone takes it seriously. That sentiment applies for all things Eminem. It’s embarrassing to enjoy this.
like okay and?? he thought he ate so hard 1/10
I cheated w this album. I listened to Kim(like 2 minutes of it) first because everyone wrote about it in ur guys' reviews. after that I kinda just skipped through each of the songs to vibe em out and I dont want to listen to the rest so rating based on what I did listen to. I feel like maybe that's not the point of this but also Im getting a little bit behind and I just dont feel like listening to this and I dont know that I will ever be in the mood to.
Jesus. I had to skip Kim. This waffles between classic Eminem songs I know and stuff that’s just awful and unpleasant to listen to. Kim brings this down to a 1… I don’t care if it’s his experience / his truth, that was so awful 1/10
2/10 - At first I was like this just sounds equally as bad as the first album but then I heard the real slim shady which is not a bad song. The rest are decently bad but for the first time I had to turn off a song because I needed a break. When listening to Kim I needed to pause it and listen to anything else because it was too vulgar and I did not like the imagery. I really hope there are no more eminem albums if he stays this horrible. I do not even mind if the music is bad i just do not want to him talk about brutally murdering people.
Two old eminem albums in and I cannot understand people who defend him as an artist claiming his old stuff was good. Dido was far and away the best part of this album, and even Stan, which easily the best song, is way cornier than I remember. And the lyrics on every song are, of course, unbearable to listen to.
Hope I never hear this one again.
São algumas das piores letras que já ouvi. Elas são puramente sádicas e não acrescentam nada à qualquer um que ouvir. O álbum é terrivelmente longo, tive que fazer uma pausa no último esquete (Ken Kaniff - Skit) de tão escroto que é, só para descobrir que ainda tinha 30 min de álbum. Não sei se esse álbum entrou na lista pelas vendas ou pelo impacto, mas tenho certeza que ele poderia tranquilamente não existir que não faria falta alguma. Ouçam rappers bons de verdade.
I remember that when I was a child (this album came out when I was 5), I really liked Stan. 20+ years later, I'm realising that I was a fan of Dido, because I sure as hell don't like Eminem. This album is the epitome of raging against nothing in particular. This is an angry man who doesn't know what he should be angry at, so he spends the whole album rapping about his haters and punching down on women and gay people. That's not edgy or cool to hate on marginalised groups that everyone is already hating on. I can't believe making jokes/comments about committing domestic violence was ever fine, and homophobia in 2000? Groundbreaking. It's all the aesthetic of rebellion without actually fighting against an oppressive force. The whole rebel without a cause bullshit is embarrassing. Grow the fuck up, Marshall. This is hot garbage, and it should fill you with shame that you rapped about how your fans are all kids that are acting like you just to look cool, and encouraging violence in them. Does that sound familiar? Putting on a hateful persona to look cool and edgy? Fuck you, man. Regardless of how much or little you believe what you're rapping, words have weight, and it's irresponsible and ridiculous to not acknowledge that.
Disturbing stuff
Offensive misogynistic insel juvenile rape celebratory waste of sound vibrations. The worst of what is mistakenly called music. Should not be in this list.
I can't stand Eminem. It's just angsty middle schooler music. This album doesn't even deserve one star
Artist who has tested time, unlike most rap artists, here today, hone tomorrow. Still do not like rap.
I don't want to get all Tipper Gore in this review, but I found this album to be pretty disgusting. The cuss words don't bother me, but the glorification of misogyny and domestic violence is extremely offensive. I wouldn't be happy for a child of mine to listen to this, and would worry about the impact it might have had on some men that grew up listening to it at an influential age. Where the record isn't promoting violence, misogyny or homophobia, it is generally juvenile and puerile. It picks fights with titans of the stature of NSYNC. If I had to use one word to sum this record up, it would be 'pathetic'. Rating: 1/5 Playlist track: Stan Date listened: 03/05/24
No white rap! Not even music!
no. just no.
Said f word too much
Disgusting in every sense of the word. Before this, I saw Eminem as a mediocre rapper for edgy 12 year old white boys. And indeed he is. But some of the stuff in here is absolutely horrible, and unfit for listening for anyone, let alone his apparent pre-teen audience. The abhorrent lyrics are still present in the hits Stan and The Real Slim Shady. The only bearable song on this album really is the one where Eminem doesn’t open his mouth until 2 minutes in, Remember Me?. Putting the lyrics aside, it’s still mediocre beats at best. Mr Mathers is another self-centred rapper who thinks he’s the shit. But in fact, he’s just shit. Absolute shit.
I really wasnt expecting Stan and Slim Shady to be the only good songs. The 'skits' were the cherry of awful on top
A relic of the 2000's, probably should stay there to be honest.
DNFed bc the lyrics are disgusting and I actually cherish my finite time on this Earth.
What an angry, little man. I saw Eminem live once at a Festival, and before he came out, he played a Lipton Ice Tea commercial about how he's Eminem and doesn't do commercials...WHAT?! Then he lip-synced the through the rest of the show. It was so bad A LOT of people just left, including myself. This album would be complete trash is Dre wasn't involved.
Sorry, not my music. Sound and melodies are OK, but the lyrics are not for me ...
This album lost me with the opening Public Service Announcement track.
You know, I've managed to go the last 7 days without rating a single album less than a 3/5. But unfortunately, that streak ends with this album. I found very little, if anything to like about this album. I can appreciate that Eminem is a talented rapper, but his delivery, on top of his awful lyrics, just make me cringe. Seriously, let's talk about the lyrics on this album. Well over half the songs are violently misogynistic and homophobic. The average 14 year old Eminem superfan is going to hear shit like that, calling women "sluts" and portraying gay people as gross, and then of course follow his lead on forming opinions on oppressed groups like that. After having listened through the majority of this ungodly long album, I was then treated with an interlude containing a blowjob in excruciating audible detail, and then a song where Eminem attempts (and fails miserably) at playing the role of a women being verbally abused. I really don't understand how any sane person can belive that this album has any merit what so ever.
yeah i love free speech.
For someone who grew up hating Eminem, it’s actually not that bad? But yeah, the lyrics sucks (as a non-native English speaker, I couldn’t understand most of it).
Can't say I ~enjoyed~ most of this listening experience. I begrudgingly appreciate that eminem was like the first rapper to rap about "homosexuals and vicodin" instead of about being rich and getting bare hoes. But the concerned moms were right, this is a very offensive album. It's definitely THE POINT but I find it hard to see past it. I mean it's SO over the top.
If he was looking to irritate, offend, and otherwise annoy the listener and broader society, it was a successful attempt. If the intent was to force a hard examination of societal hypocrisy, then the point was muddied by the single tone of verbally expressed rage, and unbalanced by any alternative vision in any song on the album. It makes the listener doubt that this artist has thought beyond anger.
If I criticize this, then I am one of the people he complains about, so I'm not going to feed that. Although reading about this album did introduce me to a new term, "transgressive art," so I did learn something. "You know how a lot of white Establishment types think Rap music is nasty? Watch this!" As juvenile as anything else this dude does.
Past its prime
Rap ist nicht so mein Ding. Dieses Album hat mich nicht begeistert. Es ist ja ein Klassiker, aber nicht fuer meine Ohren.
Oof. This was a rough listen. There are just too many un-catchy tracks, during which the only hooks are harsh electronic jingles or some 17-year-old-sounding kid doing a subpar gangster impression. The mannerisms are pretty awful, even for the time; there were frequent slurs, including (among others) the inexcusable n-slur, and the extremely tonedeaf r-d and f-g-t slurs. Considering the artist is very much white, and presumably progressive for his time, these are especially egregious. As a listener, you also receive a lot of references to "sucking my d*ck" and telling people to "f*ck off", which would be pretty irritating by itself - and then, because of Eminem's odd rapping style, it comes across as a young, overconfident dude who mistakenly thinks he's badass. (The track "Under The Influence" is the most obvious offender in this regard, being possibly the worst track on the album.) Honestly, it's kind of sad to listen to. The skits end up being some of the stronger tracks, and they're absolutely filler, no question. Tracks such as Kill You, Who Knew, I'm Back, and Kim are bottom-tier in these regards, and without convincing melody, harmony, or instrumentation to back them up, they end up being worse than throwaway. The out-of-left-field Dre shoutouts, which appear on several tracks, are pointless and dated. The clear standouts are the two biggest hits (by Spotify listens): "Stan" and "The Real Slim Shady". Both are really catchy and capture the smooth intersection between a solid, modern backing instrumental and some great (albeit repetitive) vocal hooks. "Stan" is strongest during Dido's sung vocals, but the rest isn't half-bad either.
Awful, full of profanity
Couldn’t get through it.
No.
Nope
Well, at least it's clear right off with what's in store, with the 25 second "announcement". Coarse and profane, misogynous, homophobic, violent, that's this album. In the song Marshall Mathers, he raps "I think I was put here to annoy the world".. well A for effort, if not execution. I'm not impressed, I'm not outraged either. It just seems so very trite. And long, at over 70 minutes. That said, the song "Stan" has a pretty cool sound / groove. But the lyrics follow the ramblings of a pathetic fan who kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend because Eminem didn't respond to fan letters fast enough. Cheerful, huh? Most of the grooves are tolerable, better than a lot of the Hip Hop I've been fed through this project. But Hip Hop is supposedly about the lyrics, and the lyrics here are pretty much intolerable. Note: Spotify only has 17 of the 19 songs from this album, but you know, I've had enough and won't dig up those other. I was going to give this a 2 since some of the grooves are decent, but sheesh. The crap messaging knocks it down to 1/5. I have to wonder about what kind of person love this stuff. 1/5
I have no idea if this is good rap because I think rap is spelled with a silent C, yet it seems far better musically than much of the crap that I've heard.
too profane
lol?
Awful. When did music die.
Ugh. Do I have to? Yeh, no. This is only good if Natalie Portman is lip-syncing it on late nite. Zero adds to Kaizen (or any) playlist.
🤮🤮🤮
I liked much of the music and arrangement but was put off by the language.
😬 too hardcore for me.
I tried to listen to 3 songs and then I stopped.
First album I did not listen to again. But I have heard it, many times in college. Did not really like it then and can’t imagine I would grow to like it. I’m sure it’s wonderful for angry teens who disparage women and are anti-gay. It’s all satire, yeah right. He’s slim shady so he can be so disgusting and can say anything, strange how he can throw around slurs against gay people and women but doesn’t seem to go the next level to race, wonder why? Anyway, if you want a woman’s perspective on Slim Shady listen to Tori Amos version of “Bonnie & Clyde 97’” and hear the mothers ghost gently comfort her daughter before her body is thrown into the water from the trunk of the car. (I know this song was not on this album)
I liked the beats but not the lyrics. This isn't an album I would ever listen to again. 1 and done.
Why?
Maybe I'd have liked this album if I was still 12, when I thought NWA & 2 Live Crew were hilarious & had no idea how misogynist & homophobic a lot of the Beastie Boys lyrics were. And those were tame compared to this. Another self-important rapper glorifying drugs & graphic violence against women. Shock for shock's sake. I can't even finish this shite.
weeeell, since i'm not a fan of rap... and the ken kaniff skit is not really something i want to listen to on an album :( sorry but that's a 1/5 for me
There's some great lyrics in this album as expected with Eminem's early work, it's undeniable that he's a great rapper. There's some classics on here too, and I appriciate the shock-value. However many tracks on this record are laden with homophobic and misogynistic lyrics, it's not even a case of it being 'a product of it's time' - homophobia and misogyny were never cool. The whole thing just comes across as edgy and cringy.
The machismo, misogyny, vulgarity and anger that fuel this album are palpable and off putting. The verbal skills are impressive, and there are moments of humor in some rhymes, but the interspersed dialogue is overwhelmingly awful.
I found that album extremely difficult to listen to, and I don’t think I can separate the moral aspect from the musical with this one. “Kill you” and “Kim” in particular cross the line. I’ve watched movies that deal with similar heavy themes, but it hits different here because it seems personal to him whereas movies are more abstract. 1 star for being honest, but sometimes you should get some help instead of exploring your problems with music.
Wildly biased because I don’t like Eminem, also hard to listen to considering how often he used homophobic slurs, I made it 5 songs in and gave up
Hard to listen to, very violent and misogynistic
Never liked Eminem. His voice is grating to me
Eminem is good at rapping, but to me, he's just not good at music.
I do not like hiphop/rap. Tried to give it a fair shot but I can't
No interest Not interested at all Listened to this in 2019, thought it sucked then, nothing has changed Positives Stan, The Way I am\ Negatives His voice is unbelievably grating, i think the whole thing sucks\ 1/5
No, just no.
puerile misogynist crap, not for me, maybe for teenage boys...
Fuck no
i fucking hate eminem but stan is okay the first 2 times. after that it's the same boring slop as everything else. truly one of the most overrated "artists" of all time
100% not a fan of rap. I'll admit his cadence and word usage to keep the rhyme going are super unique, just not a fan. I also cannot associate with any of his inner demons so nothing.
Ok
storytelling réussi on y croirait presque
I just can't wait to listen to an album that lasts for over an hour and spends most of the time dwelling on homophobia, misogyny, and violence, especially all three together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! Unpopular opinion: this rapping is not great. I lasted about one minute before switching this tripe off. 1/10. I can't be bothered... but he did have a huge influence. Still, I'll give it a 1/5.
Dumb
No
Omg it was so bad 💀💀💀 (apart from stan i love stan ❤️)
Was crap I cannot stand rap only made it through Stan
I don't like rap and this album was a grind to get through and I couldn't even finish it. That being said, Stan and The Real Slim Shady were the highlights of the album to me. All in all, I'll be happy to never listen to this again.
I just can't. I really don't like Eminem.
Listened to ten and a half tracks. I don't need to hear more.
Skipped much of this homophobic trash and will skip the other album too.
Some impressive lyricism, but it’s not musically interesting enough to keep me engaged for most of the album.
Terrible music!!!
Yuck. No thank you.
I dreaded listening to this one.. Surprisingly melodic at times, but way too much profanity in an effort to be edgy. Random skit in the middle. I almost never pay attention to lyrics on a first listen, which is almost a requirement for rap. Also, I think I listened to a shorter version, and I'm not at all inclined to look up the longer one.
Absolutely hated it.
I did not enjoy it
Even worse than the rampant homophobia is how annoying some of the songs on this album actually sound
Didn't like it, not my kind of music
Not my taste, but appreciate the talent and production values
Nope
Thought the beats and rapping were OK, but couldn't deal with the blatant homophobia. Too bad. 1/5
yeah no
Didn’t like the violent words, felt like an onslaught
jeez this album is 72min - stan is a good song, 1 star because of the effect this album has had on white guys.
Some of the beats and lyrical flow are inspired, but that doesn’t make up for the absolute garbage lyrics. The takeaway is that c. 2000 Eminem was a man child who couldn’t handle criticism and compensated by threatening to rape women.
Boring and edgy
This is the only album I've skipped so far. Yes, Eminem is talented, but then you could say Hitler was a talented politician.
The first 1/3 to 1/2 of the album is ok, I guess. The songs about dealing with his newfound fame have a point but I think young people wouldn't get what he was trying to do (and I'm being generous here), but then it degenerates into misogyny and homophobia.
Not my taste
Apart from Stan, it's terrible.
Tried it at least, definitely wasn’t my scene. But could appreciate the production value.
Booooring. Kjafturinn á þessum gaur gerir ekkert fyrir mig.
I like eminem for the most part, but not this album.
Homophobic and misogynistic.
this album fucking blew. that's my take.
suger actually mer än ja nånsin sku ha kunnat tro... det här var pinsamt att lyssna på. Alla beats utom kanske 4 låter billiga, hans röst då han rappar (utanför Stan) är väldigt irriterande, och en stor del av skivan är tematiskt om exakt samma saker, jag dödar dig, tar piller, fuck you!!! Bryr mig int vad du tycker! Blir snabbt ointressant, speciellt då skivan är långt över en timme lång. Come on man...
Oh dear. Utter tosh.
Not really my thing. Makes me quite uncomfortable listening to it. I guess that might have been the point, but really not for me.
I remember trying to like this album when it came out. There were some catchy songs but the content of those songs made the album unlistenable.
Please make it stop.
When I was younger I dismissed Eminem. Never bothered to listen to him. Now that I have listened to him I am happy to say...I was not wrong. Fucking. Edgelord. Rap.
I have heard a few Eminem songs over the years, and with the exception of "Lose Yourself," a song I like (great beat, cool guitar riff, and good lyrics), I was never interested in listening to his music. I just listened to this album and came to the same conclusion. There's a whole lot of "I don't give a ***" being vocalized, and no matter the source, I find that self-proclamation of individualism to be amongst the more boring messages, artistic or otherwise, one can utter. That, and musically and content-wise, this album does very little for me.
0. Hate.
Interesting
