So I begin listening to this album. Reasonable beat, good rapping from Em without an annoying accent or him yelling. Sounds good. However, it only took me 62 seconds into this to sigh. Another chorus with that same sounding chick just like on 'Hell: The Sequel' and 'Recovery'. Both of those albums, particularly the former was hampered by it. And that kind of sums up the album. At times it's Eminem at his most enjoyable in a while to listen to rap, but as has been the case more so recently, his hook game is more often than not average and has been the case throughout his career, his ear for beats is suspect. A good portion of the production on this album is what I'd expect on a no-name rapper's mixtape - See 'Rap God'. It isn't horrendous, but for someone with Eminem's budget and connections, it baffles me that he doesn't acquire better beats. Overall, there are some good songs, but most are just decent, and in reality, it has been years since Eminem has made a truly great song. As a side note, the deluxe edition is worth checking out for some good songs such as 'Beautiful Pain'. Best Tracks: Berzerk, Headlights, Beautiful Plan.
