I like this one a *lot* more than the last two he released.
"Rap God" is probably my favorite right now. Blows my mind how he comes up with some of the plays on words...and how fast he raps.
I really enjoyed Recovery. Relapse not so much. But with Eminem, I don't think he's ever put out an album I didn't like anything about. Even at his worst, there is just something about him that I like. I enjoy the sound of his voice, and his music speaks to me.
But I agree, with this album, he's really come back. When I heard he had released a song called "Rap God," I thought, wow, he has balls of steel to call himself that. But the song is amazing. Most rappers who get as fast as he does revert to monosyllabic rhymes, but he stays complex.
I can't believe he's in his forties now. I'm a long time fan, and I can't wait for him to tour in the US.
