    Worst Eminem album easily!!! Revival has 2 classic (Castle & Arose) few good songs but many bad songs

    This album, aside from the last two songs, gives me a headache. They relied too much on "Walk on Water" to become the next Bohemian Rhapsody and it didn't work. Will go down as a weak comeback album.

    Very good album that some people hate because the message or the features but at the end is a very good body of work with rock beats and excellent lyrics.

    Definitely gets better after the 11th track. Very underrated. You should listen to this album after listening to his other albums first. 6.7/10 Favourite track: Framed

    His penmanship has always been top notch. On tracks like walk on water, river, arose, castle, framed and bad husband Em has a way with words that is very impressive. Only a couple tracks I don't like on the album otherwise, it's a good album with a very personal feeling to it.

    This album is an absolute piece of **** except for like a couple of songs. Too much pop, too much singing, not enough Slim Shady.

    Don’t hate it like some people do. Still some good tracks on it. Fave tracks; Remind Me, In Your Head, Framed, Chloraseptic

    A lot of unfitting production and cheesy lyrics, though "River" is a standout track. Outside of that, "Castle" and "Like Home" are the only average songs. As a fan it's disappointing.

    Not bad at all. I don't understand why this album got so much hate, it has all the contents of any other album, its got the complex rhymes, dre on the beats, only difference is the producer

    I love the songs on the album, but some of them are unnecessarry. The album should've been shorter, and the production could've been way better.

    From tracks that talks about America's issues that reflects from Eminem's BET freestyle to tracks that reflect on Eminem's life and state in hip-hop, Revival is a mix between all of his previous albums that have gone platinum. Only one track seems to stand out poorly: Chloraseptic. Thankfully, its remix performs better, but blows the original out of the water and makes a blister inFrom tracks that talks about America's issues that reflects from Eminem's BET freestyle to tracks that reflect on Eminem's life and state in hip-hop, Revival is a mix between all of his previous albums that have gone platinum.

    Easily Eminem’s worst album. Three years later, only a handful of songs are worth revisiting, and those aren’t exactly career highs, framed being the stand out

    This is Eminem, you love him or hate him, but whatever he comes up with, you talk about it.

    Insant classic. This is the best album of all time. Nothing can be better than this. This is the greatest piece of music.

    This truly is a good album but when Eminem has something that is very important to say people don't want that.

    Em's still killin it. Like most albums, takes a few listens to really decide how u feel about it. Theres a couple songs that I skip over. But thats typical of almost every album i own, not just eminem albums. I dont think its overly political like some people are saying, there are 2 political songs out of 19. Its a mix of a lot of different styles. I love it.

    Revival... We didn’t get album from Eminem since 2013 now it’s 2017... It was hyped for most but for most as-well as disappointing. Well to me this album was very good , it was more personal Eminem side. The only bad song was Need me ft Pink everything else was okay till amazing. Best song for me is Castle and I like how Castle and Arose are combined song , makes the ending very great forRevival... We didn’t get album from Eminem since 2013 now it’s 2017...

    There's a few skips but the lyricism is still top notch! Em gives us his take on issues in America.

    I don’t give a **** what people say, this album is fire. This is the woke Eminem, no matter what he does people are gonna criticize him. You should listen to the lyrics and enjoy the album, there are a lot of good songs on it. Eminem never disappoints.

    At 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.
