1. Cold Wind Blows - 3.75/5 The beat is pretty good. I don't find his singing on here annoying. Pretty good opener.
2. Talkin' to Myself - 4.5/5 - This shit is fire. Khalil killed the beat and Kobe drops a classic hook. Love the honest Em on the first talkin' about almost dissin' Wayne & Kanye.
3. On Fire - 3.5/5 This beat is pretty banging. Em's flow is tight here too. Not much yelling on here. This is a pretty solid album joint.
4. Won't Back Down - 3.5/5 This beat keeps growing on me. It's so banging. I don't think the Pink feature is that random; she has that bad ass attitude that fits the song and its concept. It's a grower, not amazing, but not bad either.
5. W.T.P. - 3/5 Beat isn't bad. Hook is alright. It would get some plays in the club and on radio. Maybe a future single?
6. Going though Changes - 4.5/5 The sample is really tight. Eminem is spitting really nice on here too, really nice. Beat is tight too.
7. Not Afraid - 3/5 This is just boring to me. The beat, hook, verses, etc. - It's uplifting music but its boring.
8. Seduction - 2.5/5 Beat is ok. This stinks. It's getting old too.
9. No Love - 3.25/5 Interesting beat/sample. Beat picks up during the verses. Wayne's verse is decent. Em's hook is eyy. Em comes tight with the verses though. I don't know about this. It's kind of weird.
10. Space Bound - 4/5 Beat is good. Em is really spitting on here. Who is doing this hook? I can see some people finding it annoying but I think its pretty tight.
11. Cinderella Man - 4/5 Energetic beat. I don't like that repeating "cinderella man" though. The beat is pretty tight though and Em is spitting. Whoever is singing on here has a tight voice though.
12. 25 to Life - 4.5/5 The girl singing on here has a really tight voice. The beat fits everything on here perfectly. Really like this.
13. So Bad - 2.75/5 Beat is tight, sounds like it could be Dre? Eminem doesn't sound good on this at all though. His voice/yelling is annoying on it. Yep, Em says its Dre here.
14. Almost Famous - 3.25/5 Girl on hook has an interesting voice. She's not that good though. Beat is pretty bangin. Khalil did his mothafuckin' thing on this LP.
15. I Love the Way you Lie - 4/5 Always liked Rihanna. Beat is pretty hot. Fuck it, I like this shit.
16. You're Never Over - 2.75/5 Em's singing is TERRIBLE. For a Proof dedication, this is disappointing. Oh man he really can't sing and that's really evident on here.
17. Bonus - 2.5/5 Beat is ok. Em's raps are stupid on here though.

Overall, I think this is a better effort than both Relapse & Encore, which is a very good thing. The best songs on here may not all be on par with the best songs on Relapse such as Stay Wide Awake, Deja Vu, Beautiful and Underground. But the consistency is the key here. There is not a single song on this album as bad as crap like My Mom, Insane, Bagpipes from Baghdad, Same Song & Dance, We Made You or Must be the Ganja. All of those Relapse songs I just mentioned sucked at best. If lucky, 2.5/5 songs.
This is an improvement IMO.

So Bad is one of the best tracks, instrumental is crazy...I'm pretty sure it's a beat from the Relapse sessions. And the Pink track a grower?
Cmon Luna, you're a luna for this one!

Talkin to Myself or Going Through Changes could easily be bumped to a 5/5
Professor: What's so good about "So Bad" besides the Dre beat? To me, it's this song is tied with You're Never Alone as Em's worst vocal performance on the album.

Without the following the album could've been one of the best albums ever made:
- Too much of Em's singing
- Em's anger (it's like he's on his period on every song, I really enjoy his lyricism but sometimes he needs to chill, it gives me a headache)
- Pink track, the last track, and Not Afraid's beat are crap.
