"Am I lucky to be around this long?" Eminem wonders this on "Walk on Water," the first track on his 2017 album, Revival, which arrives when the 20th anniversary of his 1999 debut, The Slim Shady LP, is just 14 months away. Aging is never easy for a star but it may be harder for Marshall Mathers, since his earliest records were equal parts rage and pranks -- emotions that tend to mellow as the years stack up. Underneath all that attention-grabbing bluster lay Eminem's boundless technical proficiency, which was the real reason he scored a monumental breakthrough in 1999 and sustained a career. Put it simply, he didn't sound like anybody else when he started, and now that he's conceivably halfway through his journey he doesn't sound like anybody else either, a quality that can make Revival compelling, albeit only intermittently. Provocative and muddled, Revival percolates with ambition but doesn't lack in laziness either: not only can Eminem not resist recycling the templates for "Stan" and "Love the Way You Lie," he stumbles through a loop as dull as Joan Jett's "I Love Rock & Roll" on "Remind Me," a sample that not only plays as leaden but is laden in nostalgia. Then again, the past isn't far from Em's mind, particularly his long, tortured relationship with his on-and-off love Kim, who is the subject of "Remind Me" and "Bad Husband." The latter finds Eminem holding himself accountable for his past misdeeds, an emotional candidness that finds a counterpart in his increased political consciousness, a shift sparked by his deep disgust for President Donald J. Trump. Reckoning with Trump has the same effect as grappling with his own middle age: it forces Eminem out of his comfort zone, pushing him to sharpen his lyrics. When he sticks to familiar territory, he shifts his focus to his flow and the results can still startle, whether he's playing with legato shifts of phrase or speeding through "Offended." Listening to Eminem challenge himself on a sheer technical level -- and the absence of any major guest rappers suggests he thinks he's in a class of his own -- can still be a wonder. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

引き続きリック・ルービンの総指揮下で作り上げた9作目。トランプ大統領を痛烈に批判したフリースタイルを受けてのリリースということもあり、"Untouchable"など政治的トピックに関心が集まりがちだが、これまででもっとも音楽的冒険心に富んだアルバムでもある。それゆえに賛否両論を招いているが、その結果"Chloraseptic"のリミックスのような思わぬ副産物も生まれている。白眉はエド・シーランとのコラボ"River"。

ネットで翻訳しながら聴いているのですが、リリックの内容がまさに「今」だなと。個人的には「Tragic Endings feat. Skylar Grey 」と「Need Me feat. Pink 」がオススメです。
女性ボーカルとの曲が多くて聴きやすい1枚。また曲が良い、エドシーランも良い。
これぞエミネム!という感じです!
