Eminem's latest album, The Death of Slim Shady Coup de Grâce, has been released and is being met with mixed reviews by critics. The album is Eminem's 12th studio album and arrives with a funerary fanfare for Eminem's evil twin, Slim Shady.
For 25 years now, Slim Shady has been trying to offend us, and Eminem's loudest alter ego has kept partying like it's 1999, even while his creator has moved on. The Death of Slim Shady Coup de Grâce is a chance for Eminem to finally put his most famous creation to rest, but the album ultimately retreads into tired habits.
The album's title track is a meditation on Slim Shady's death, and it finds Eminem grappling with his own mortality. The song is a powerful and moving ballad, and it's one of the best songs on the album.
However, the rest of the album is less impressive. Eminem's lyrics are often clever and funny, but they can also be misogynistic and homophobic. The album's production is also dated, and it sounds like something that could have been released in the early 2000s.
Overall, The Death of Slim Shady Coup de Grâce is a mixed bag. There are some great songs on the album, but there are also some that are forgettable. If you're a fan of Eminem, you'll probably want to check out the album. But if you're looking for something new and innovative, you might want to look elsewhere.
