    I was constantly listenin' to few songs on that album tho. Die Alone is underrated tho. His flow and beat was kinda good. compared to some other songs of his post 2010

    It reminded me of being very hungry and going to a buffet. Eating the first thing I pick up and go "Yummm!!! Soooooo good!!!!!" Then I got full and went back to eat that same thing... and go "This is not as good as I thought it was." Then I had the worst s----s.

    Same thing.

    1. ShadyXV isn't exactly good but I find some charm in it. makes no sense to me how it became an album cut though... it's so random.
    2. Psychopath Killer is good. Rarely listen to it though.
    3. Die Alone has the worst mixed hook I've ever heard. His verses aren't actually that bad and the beat is fine. But that hook is just awful.
    4. I enjoy Vegas. One of the better BME songs that have come out recently. I like the different flows Em experiments in his verse but I feel his verse should've been a bit shorter.
    5. Y'all Ready Know might be the best song on this. classic premo beat
    6. Guts Over Fear is a good song that I find to have pretty low replay value.
    7. Down is okay.
    8. Bane is absolutely disgusting.
    9. Fine Line is great. I love all the verses and the TES-like beat.
    10. The hook on Twisted is badly mixed too and feels out of place compared to the rest of the song. Yela has a great verse and all the singing bits are great.
    11. Right For Me is the biggest clusterfuck of a song Em has done. The verses are the vocal equivalent of My First Single's beat.
    12. DVE is a very forgettable song though I do enjoy it. Hate the hook. I like all the verses.

    low points of this album are like.. really low.

    GOF, Fine Line, PK verse and DVE are all better than anything he has released since 2010.

    The Shady XV title track is him having fun, and I like seeing that. Lots of throwback moments and charm, but I wouldn't call it a good track

    Psychopath Killer is good

    Die Alone has good verses but the hook makes me want to forget the song ever existed

    Vegas isn't good but it's very enjoyable

    Guts Over Fear is GREAT

    Fine Line is the only song since he came back with a TES Show vibe

    Twisted would've been the best song on the album and a potential classic if the hook wasn't so out of place

    Right For Me is Em's worst song of all time

    DVE is very good

    Phenomenal's 3rd verse is arguably better than anything on both projects
