Apr 9, 2018Eminem makes a long-awaited return since his last album from 2013 with his biggest disappointment yet. While some songs have their charm like River, and Walk On Water, most of the album suffers from generic and boring production, weird and awkward samples from other songs, cringey and cheesy lyrics, and guest verses that range from okay to downright despicable.
-
Mar 25, 2018Eminems rhyme scheme is still on point but his choppy deliver can get annoying. He still has talented story telling songs like castle but half the songs are trash or forgettable but never the less Eminem is one of the if not the GOAT.

Feb 18, 2018This Album just proves that Eminem has lost his touch as a rapper. It is clear that he still has talent, but the underlying truth is that almost every track on this album sounds the same, none of these tracks have anything that would make them memorable.
Favourite Tracks: Walk on Water, Bad Husband
Least Favourite Tracks: Untouchable, Remind Me, Framed, Heat, Offended, Need Me, Castle -

Jan 29, 2018Bad production, bad sampling, some awful bars and overall interesting song topics. Eminem still manages to be entertaining on a handful of songs here (Walk on water, Chloraseptic, River, Framed, Castle) but the rest are all pretty sub par.
-
Jan 23, 2018One of his best albums ever. He tried to combine all of his albums in this one. Love it very much!!!
Castle and Arose are masterpieces -

Jan 9, 2018It's bad. I had to delete it from my spotify library. His messaging is mind-boggling and the tracks are sup-par.

Jan 8, 2018I'm not a big fan of Eminem,but I bought all his albums and Revival is the worst album. Bad rhymes,bad text. Everything is bad in this album.
-
Jan 7, 2018I can say "It's not hip-hop, it's pop" about Recovery, which is awful, but Revival isn't like this, it's just a piece of garbage. There's a lot of awful mainstream trap-like **** and when the song is not an awful mainstream trap-like **** it's a freaking audio book. There's a few "not this bad" songs and one OK song (Castle), all the others are just a purification of ****
-
Jan 5, 2018I don't like it is one of his worst albums, I can not believe he was all these years doing nothing to throw this s**t now!
-

-
Jan 5, 2018It triggered the Trump trash and that's good enough for me. Em can still piss off the establishment, and we need it now more than ever.
-
Jan 4, 2018Maybe I put a lot of expectation on this Eminem album. He did not sound unique and with unique sounds as he always brought. Songs with dubious production and with known samples, it sounded generic and not very authentic. There are some good tracks in your album like river and remind me, but they are by far, unoriginal. Sad
-
Dec 29, 2017All these dumbass "reviewers" saying the album is wack. Either closeted trump supporters or people that have listened to it once and consider it "reviewed". You know what the saying is.. Rappers rap and critics.., well they aren't relevant any more.
-
Dec 28, 2017Revival. Not a revival at all for Eminem. This album is straight up pointless.

Dec 25, 2017Best album since the Eminem Show gets better after multiple listens!! This is a different eminem and shows he's matured as marshall mathers the man and eminem the artist GOAT!
-
Dec 24, 2017The album was released with such hype. The sequel to his two other average albums, Relapse and Recovery see Eminem approaching a clear tumble down the ranks. Despite still being one of the most recognised figures in music it doesn't seem to be his prime in this day and age.

Dec 22, 2017Em has always been political, Em has always been controversial. People says this is not good because they are only here for songs like Love the way you lie or Monster. They are the people most likely to skip songs searching for some hip beat and chart topping songs, but not for the meaning and the reality.

Dec 21, 2017Eminem’s talent with rhyming and flow is obviously present in most cases, but it certainly can’t carry a long work like this on its own, and the flat beats, annoying countermelodies, and lackluster musical ideas did no complimenting and twiddled this down to only a sliver of worth. My Score: 105/180 (Okay) = 5.8/10

Dec 21, 2017Eminem this is probably the worst album you have made stop this pop gay **** and do more old eminem i know that you have to do what you feel like is good for you now thats right but GOD DAMN THIS IS TRASH now keep in mind that i love eminem he is one of the best rappers of all time but this is not good man just stop with the medical ****
-
Dec 21, 2017This album is a great comeback of the king!!!
-
Dec 21, 2017Best album since the Eminem Show. Tank you Marshall, you incredible and the best

Dec 20, 2017What do you get when you take the most skilled rapper of all time and have him rap over beats and songs that are mediocre and just not very good? You get something like this album. He needs better songs, it's that simple. The skill and lyricism and all of that are A-1 as always.. but the songs aren't anything I'd like to listen to. With the exception of Framed.
-

-
Dec 20, 2017This album includes a lot of different Eminem styles, great lyrically and shows a more mature Eminem. Full of nostalgia and retrospective on what has been a great career
-
Dec 20, 2017It's ok. I could do without the cringy lines Marshall raps every now and then, but almost every hip hop album today has some cringe (whether people like to admit it or not).
-
Dec 20, 2017Well i mmlp2 is decent besides this , wich is really really bad , wasnt expecting revival to have 2-3 good tracks , i mean comparing it to mmlp1 or sslp this is pure ****
-
Dec 20, 2017This is the best eminem album in years.This is the best album since relapse.The beats,flow and all things are great. But i think the album needs dr.dre's production. Rick rubin is okay.but i love dre. this album have very different versions of eminem. Arose is the best track in my opinion.
-

Dec 19, 2017Absolute **** garbage, and believe me when im saying that it's really bad, this is WAY worse than encore, relapse and recovery, i hope eminem will not make another album ever again, he's just bad now
-
Dec 19, 2017Lyrically em still got it, it's got every aspect of eminem in this album. The slim shady alter ego is present in songs like framed, heat, you got marshal in songs like bad husband, castle, and eminem in tracks like walk on water, and believe. It's a good album overall except you don't like the direction of is production, too much of rock arena kind of beats.
-

Dec 19, 2017No artist with a 20 year old career can do what Em can do. His lyricism, flow and message is on point. This album really grows on you. Don't sleep on it.
-

Dec 19, 2017Not a bad album. Lots of people are criticizing it based on Eminem's actions, and not on the album itself. Most of the people here, I bet, didn't even listen to the record.
-
Dec 19, 2017This album is a lot of fun, and I'm glad I bought it on launch day. So far my favorite songs are "offended", "framed", "castle" and "believe".
I'm surprised the critics are giving it mixed reviews. I'm having a lot of fun listening to it! -
Dec 19, 2017Realy good....best rapper ever! All haters are pissed and now they are rating low!
-
Dec 19, 2017This is one of Eminem’s best album’s to date. It has both the playful side of Slim Shady and the thoughtful and mature side of Marshall Mathers. With a very interesting blend of modern and classic beats. Definitely a great album, been listening to it on repeat since it came out!
-

Dec 18, 2017Very good album, could argue it has been the best album since the Eminem show, all songs are catchy and many have been produced greatly. worst song is the song with pink.It has been very badly promoted and he should fire Rosenburg and get a new marketing team. overall very good album.
-
Dec 18, 2017This album is FIRE!! Because I lit it on fire and threw it in the trash!!
I used to like Eminem, but now he is so angry - he sounds terrible. Attacking Trump is a bad idea, so say goodbye to your career Em. You forget that half the nation voted for him. KEEP POLITICS OUT OF MUSIC. -
Dec 18, 2017Still listening but anyone giving this a 0 or 10 just dumb. There are some lines that should of not made it and should of been some ill production from guys like Alchemist, Preemo, Madlib, Statik, ApolloBrown and guys like this but it's still a solid B-
-

Dec 18, 2017This album was a heartless cash grab. The least he could have done when releasing an album with a very very popular set of artists to work with, was actually give them some decent material. Also that diarrhea line... wtf. Worst album he's produced without a doubt. He should just retire his career. This is a big pile of shameful, steaming **** Good lord!
-
Dec 18, 2017Text required but I just want to leave a score. I have nothing impactful to say regarding this album.... Arh still need to add a few more words because apparently that was enough in the first place...
-
Dec 17, 2017cant understand the hate towards it, one of the best works of Eminem lately. The people are used to the medicocre pop cra*p for too long that they cant understand good music now, i guess thats why all the hate towards revival is coming from, again great album and he's still the GOAT! .
-
Dec 17, 2017Best album since Relapse. Theres something for every fan of Eminem on this album. You Like SSLP-TES Eminem? Its on here. Relapse-MMLP2 Eminem? Here too.
-
Dec 17, 2017I don't know what people were expecting from this album but more I listen to it the better it gets.. I NEVER pay for albums but with the quality of this one, I had to buy it. It met my expectations. I assume the better you are people don't appreciate you and take the good albums for granted. 10/10 RAP GOD IS BACK!!

Dec 16, 2017Eminem is back and better than ever with his fair share of comedy in songs like Offended and heartfelt messages in songs like Arose and Bad Husband. This album has a hint of each one of his former albums in it, so it is perfect for Eminem fans. It reaches out into other fans with pop features from Alicia Keys and Ed Sheeran as well

Dec 16, 2017Best album since Eminem Show to me.Revival contains music for everyone and that's why it is better than his last three albums but from the other hand many people didn't get enough their type of Marshall's music so they leave mixed or bad reviews.I hope that Revival won't be underrated as much as MMLP2 though
-
Dec 16, 2017I was in utter shock at how horrible this album was. Wtf happened to the eminem that we all knew and loved? I just still can't process the atrocity that this trash was. Eminem pandering? What the hell has the world come to...

Dec 16, 2017Eminem used to be a great rapper and he still is but his time is over. I do not see a way how he could influence the scene like he used to in his 30's and I do not think it is his approach anymore. He is rapping for fun not because he want to achieve anything. Sadly, you can hear that.
-
Dec 16, 2017This may not be his best album but it's indeed a great body of work. This will probably turn into a cult classic just like Relapse did. Tracks like Nowhere Fast, Heat, Remind Me and Believe are among the highs on the effort.
-
Dec 16, 2017I never seen an community such stupid that right now, this album is literally one of the most authentic, honest and good album of Eminem, the perfect mixed between old and New Eminem's style.

Dec 16, 2017One of the worst albums i have ever let my ears listen to... Trash lyrics, Trash political views, Trash production... Lost his touch should of retired years ago when he actually had a legacy which he has now dismantled into trash.
The Album Is TRASH -
Dec 16, 2017
-
Dec 16, 2017The real revelation with this album is that Eminem is no longer the 2000s shock rapper you fell in love with. He has matured in both vision and flow, resulting in a "beautiful mess" of some sorts. The lows are bad, including the abysmal Pink collab and horribly sampled "Framed", but "River" is bound for chart glory and the album closes with enough strength to merit a positive score.
-

Dec 16, 2017Absolutely terrible album. There isn't one song on here that I can really listen to and say is good. Couple of manageable songs, and the rest is just loud noise. Absolutely disappointed in Eminem. Worst album of his career, and one of the worst of 2017. Shame.
-
Dec 16, 2017Great comeback, especially castle and arose, amazing closing songs, only thing missing is a Ken Kaniff skit, would loved to hear Ken on the album. Amazing.
-
Dec 16, 2017I like the lyrics and production on some songs like Believe, Offended, Framed and River, but on others the are very dull and dumb. Not like his other albums, but this is quite good.
-
Dec 16, 2017great album!! I have listened to the whole album like three times and I am still repeating it til now. The album is considered a masterpiece to anyone who listens to Eminem for a long time and has good knowledge of the problems which he talks about in his songs.
-
Dec 16, 2017one of the worst albums i've ever heard in the history of rap and im not being biased omg this album suck and could have a better story plus better lyrics and at least have a connection between the song he's putting out as an "album" that talks about very different stuff
-
Dec 16, 2017
-
Dec 16, 2017I dont get all those people who expect Em to rap like he did 20y ago. Are you the same person you were 20y ago?
To be fair there are 1 or 2 songs that drag the score down but overall its a pretty good LP.
As for the features to me personally Khelani outperformed all the others.
Castle and arose, what a way to end. -
Dec 16, 2017This is the best album he's made since The Eminem Show. It has a great mix of all of his different styles while at the same time making the album feel very well put together by having every song flow very well between each other. 10/10
-
Dec 16, 2017It would be a good album, if it was’t Eminem. Eminem is an artist, who should be on higher level. There are few good songs(River, Believe), but Revival is worse in comparison with previous albums

Jan 18, 2018At least a third of the tracks are songs I could do without. The other two-thirds show that whether you love or hate the modern day Marshall Mathers, he's still as relevant as he ever was.
