The album starts off strong with this unsettling intro of sound effects I assume they believe you might hear in their "Slaughterhouse." The first song was also powerful, "Our House" featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey. I really liked that song, has a unconventional beat, something that you really vibe to. After that though the excitement kind of dwindles for me. .
I mean don't get me wrong, the lyricism is out of this world on these songs, but of course, that's what we have come to expect from the Shady Gang. I guess it's just like any songs you would hear from lyrical artists, you can respect and appreciate the art but sometimes all those words just crammed down your ear can be a little overwhelming.
I could really only listen to a few songs in one setting and then I would have to switch to another style because even if each individual song is great in its own right, it can become just exhausting to keep up with the quick flows and fast story lines.
Or maybe we as a society just have very lazy ears? Either way, if you're a Eminem, Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and/or Royce da 5'9" fan you should definitely go buy it when it drops online!
