Sep 15, 2021 I had a religious revival after listening to Revival. The religious themes are unmistakable. "believe in me", "need me", "in your head" (people believe in god, need god, and talk to god in their heads). Walk on Water, Arose, self-explanatory. Eminem dropped Revival to subliminally make fans more religious. It's his Yeezus, except there's no crappy songs like On Sight and Bound 2. Every song is a 10/10 masterpiece. I know my brothers @joeyp363 and @Marsh will agree.
Sep 15, 2021 Yes. Folks these days dont know what dope is. I on the other hand have a very good taste in music
Sep 16, 2021 Nothing will compare to when TES leaked. About a week or 2 before the official release date, which was unheard of back then. I stayed up all night long downloading individual tracks from Limewire on a 56k modem. Burnt it to CD and then played it full volume in the backyard until the neighbours complained. Hearing Soldier for the first time...oh f---.
Sep 16, 2021 Deff The Eminem show tho >>>> Now that I remember it I was downloading it!!!!! Wow Limewire days were litty I forgot all the drugs I took
Sep 20, 2021 TES leaked almost 4 weeks before its release date, and not sure what you mean it was unheard of back then. Albums were always leaking mad early back then. It was common as f---.
Sep 20, 2021 Mine was Relapse becuase I got it from some weird a--- torrent or bear share like three weeks prior to its release. It was something different, yet spectacular.
Sep 20, 2021 Let's not get pedantic about about length of time. I'm very sorry I lost track of 14 days from 20 years ago. Dunno how old you are, maybe you are more grown than me but I was a late teen back in 2003 and don't recall it being common for albums to leak weeks early as a standard. I remember the common practise was for CDs to be delivered to stores a couple of days before release to create displays overnight etc and employees would steal them, rip them and upload them. CDs wouldn't tend to have been delivered to stores weeks before a release date. But I did only have a 56k modem so they may have done and I just didn't spend hours downloading individual tracks.
Sep 20, 2021 Nice. Fair enough, so 3½ weeks before release and I remembered 2 weeks. Article also says they moved the release date forward so it probably was 2 weeks between leak to actual release.
Sep 20, 2021 Nah, I posted it more to point out the fact that most of the leaks back in the day came from the guys working at CD pressing plants.
