    My first reaction I thought it was good, bad guy was great, still is, it got worse and worse until I rated it eminem's worst, what was your initial reaction?

    I remember being in my 12th grade math class when it leaked. I thought it was the greatest thing that was produced on gods green earth.

    I remember I was in my user interface class when it leaked

    I thought it was amazing, I was very happy with it

    My favorite tracks on first listen were Love Game and Headlights

    I still like it, but not nearly as much as when I first heard it

    was ecstatic. overreacted a lot.

    I mean I still like a good majority of it but I'm never really compelled to listen to it.

    Chad Warden's first listen led him to thinking sober Eminem can't do s--- other than s--- d-ck.

    And before he said The Monster was a dark and play while having sex song

    The first song i though was amazing when the Stan reference came, then was an OK album

    I remember I really loved it when it leaked and thought it was nearly perfect (I was a huge Stan at the time)

    Really loved it at first but now, yeah, OK album. @KingDrizz Imo So Far gets to much hate even if it's not a good song

    It's kinda deserved, but I get why people can like it, it's very hit and miss

    I remember literally saying "wtf?" after the first listen, was really underwhelmed but forced myself to think it was better than Recovery :emoji_slight_frown:

    The only Eminem album to this day with no classic song on it

    When i heard Bad Guy for the first time i cried like a baby.
    s--- was too good. :allears:

    Tracks like RoR,BG,Rap God,Brainless,Evil Twin,GD,Baby = fire :emoji_fire::rejoice:
    The only track i skip everytime is STIW:pierce:, even tho the verse at the end is dope as h---


    Very Good Album and imho his best after his three "classics"

    my first reaction was "omfg best album ever". just after the first time hearing bad guy i was like crying and s---, got goose bumps. i loved like every song of it except of the monster. i had just the whole album for like 4 weeks in my playlists and like 2 and a half month on my phone. after the first few full listenings i skiped a few like a------. my faves were love game, bad guy, so far and rhyme or reason. time passes and now im like its not classic but a good album. a few songs that i dont like that much but well thats on almost every album i guess.
