Gave this album a more thorough listen, enjoyed it more this time. Still, there are some tracks that're just never gonna work for me, but still, a decent album.
Fuck yeah! and the facebook thing was hilarious. eminem on the computer and using facebook and on so far : "got friends on facebook, all over the world. not sure what that means, they tell me it's good"
^ Anyway, So Much Better is a classic song. The piano is massive, the hook is so Shady, the track itself is Godly.
I can't stop thinking about the ending of Call of Duty: Ghosts whenever I listen to "Survival" nowadays.
Rap God about to bless us again. I've grown to really love this song. [video=youtube;Vo7Tn6CAwuI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo7Tn6CAwuI[/video]
Just finished listening to the album last night. Lyrically, it is more than solid; quite amazing and heartfelt to say the least. Unfortunately the passion in his delivery is a mismatch with the instrumentals for the better part of this album. His messages are intact, but it would take an intermediate-level fan of Em's to truly feel the impact in what he was going for with this release. A definite earnest take on a sequel to the MMLP, but in many ways, far too removed from the original to be labeled such imo. Standouts: Bad Guy (The fourth verse in 'Bad Guy' hit me hard) So Much Better Legacy Asshole Brainless

Eeeeeeh. Like I didn't have enough of my favorite artists getting their face scanned. Didn't have what it takes to keep you interested for 6 minutes. Song deserved better tbh.
