Eminem's got a new video out and the consensus seems to be in line with my reaction: good lyrics, nice flow, but what in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is with that voice? It sounds as if Mister Mathers has been grabbing his balls just a little to hard lately. It's the voice he usually uses to break things up or to imitate someone, but here it's the normal tone for the entire song. I don't understand it. I'd like the song if it weren't for that one aspect. The chorus is a little weak, but it's made up for with the great surrealist-psycho themes Eminem is known for.
The video has issues too. The whole "B Horror Film" theme is a bit trite and a lot lame. There's plenty of blood, gore, and sharp object, and enough green tint to make you think you were watching the latest Saw film. Eminem rapping in the woods with his shirt off is no improvement either. I expected more from an artist's whose videos (at least until recently) have always impressed me with either great pop-culture spoofs and nice animations.
Anyway here it is, the latest from Eminem's The Relapse, "3AM".
