Okay so I was giving Em the benefit of the doubt that he was ahead of the curve on this one and my ears needed to catch up.
But with more time I've only became less enchanted with the album. So I won't be attempting to defend this project any more. In fact I'm done listening to it and may put it down permanently the way I did Encore, Relapse, Recovery, I never kept those albums in my rotation.
I will defend Em's career though and just say the guy has already done enough in this game and so anything else get from him since 8 Mile should be taken as icing on the cake.

I really think that if they took the Rick Rubin tracks off, the album would be listenable ( Except the last track on the album. That one turned out good, for some reason). I think lyrically, Em is as good as he's ever been, but some of the tracks on here, the production is so bad no amount of lyrical ability could save them. On my first listen through, when it got to the track that samples "I Love Rock and Roll," I couldn't believe how much it sounded like "Berzerk" from "The Marshal Mathers 2 LP." Then when I got to the song "Heat," I thought at first that I was listening to "So Far," also off "The Marshal Mathers 2LP." That's one of my biggest complaints about Rick Rubin production, so much of it sounds the same, in addition to a lot of it sounding corny, which is not a good combination. I wish Em would have put some more FredWreck or Just Blaze, or has been mentioned before, brought back the Bass Brothers. Or used any number of other producers. But I think he needs to rely less on Rick Rubin or risk future projects sounding all the same.
I would also mention that Chloraseptic Remix is, in my opinion, better than the album version. Ironically Eminem's verse on the remix, where he takes on critics of his album, is probably better than any single verse that he spits on his album. That's not to say that his lyrics on the album are bad. Many of them were quite good. But a lot of the album criticisms have obviously hit a nerve, and pissed off, passionate Eminem is always better than indifferent Eminem.
