1. Alfred (Intro)
Okay Intro I guess

2. Black Magic
Skylar was actually okay on this but not a big fan of Em's Stop & Go Flow as of late & Production isn't great as well, an average start to the album.
But glad atleast this track tried stick the murder theme unlike the original album MTBMB.

3. Alfred's Theme
This Beat great first of all & it's self produced by Em, and Eminem's Rapping is really dope here, this song really gives me SSLP vibes with how Cartoonish it is, add it to some fire wordplay for a fire song.

4. Tone Deaf
Liked everything about it except the hook tbh, this beat is not typical of a Em x Luis Retro Beat but it's okay I guess, a downgrade from Alfred's Theme for sure but still I enjoyed it, Good song imo.

5. Book of Rhymes
Probably my favourite song so far, but no idea why it says ft. Preemo when it's produced by IlladaProducer, regardless a fire track, Em's best rapping so far imo, the beat switch at the end was really well done and didn't feel spontaneous/forced.

Oh wait Preemo did a bit of scratching at the end, that's why 
6. Favorite Bitch
Didn't expect to like it as much as I Did, Ty Dolla & Em surprisingly work pretty well together, Em's rapping is elite here , Really liked his cheeky wordplay with the Lucifer & Paradox bars. Great song imo.

Hearing a new Dr. Dre Verse after ages 
7. Guns Blazing
This marks first time dre appearing on Em Album since Relapse, so that's a insant W. I really loved hearing Dre rapping after quite a while, and the hook is pretty catchy too, this beat is kinda out of the comfort zone for dre but I still liked it, fire song.

8. Gnat
So this the song being promoted as lead single, and I can see why, it's definitely better than Godzilla, but the highlight for me def was his wordplay & beat switch. Not a big fan of Ultrasonic Rapping as usual, I really wish he'd stop doing that (1/2)

Eminem's cheeky wordplay might sound bad/corny at first, but I don't this type of bullshit bars from anyone else in the rap game rn. That's part of the reason why I fucking love Eminem (2/2)
9. Higher
A bit of a downgrade from last set of tracks but I really like this beat, and I have no idea who did the verse after the 2nd hook, definitely didn't sound like Eminem. Hook isn't great but His rapping on this album OMG, probably his best performance since Mmlp2.

10. These Demons
One of the standouts for sure, this hook is really chilling and adds a lot imo, probably the funniest track so far , with the "what rhymes with", ICP & R Kelly bars. I really wish Em would rather hire singers like this instead of doing the hooks himself.

11. She Loves Me
Skip
but a dope beat tho, wish Em would've done more with it, Ion want another relationship song from a 50 yr old. Probably the Worst track so far.

12. Killer
Bruh this is bad, sounds like a watered down Those Kinda Nights which already wasn't a great song.

13. Zeus
Dammnnnn AMAZING song imooo, 6ix9ine diss instant W, and the Black Thought wordplay was clever, I really liked the fact he apologized to Riri, White Gold killed it too, T-Minus Beat was dope too. Definitely one of the standouts. em went the fuck off in the last verse.

14. Discombobulated
Fuck it, Best Song on the album for me. As Someone who loves Relapse, this shit is perfect, the beat was constantly evolving and I really was pumped up when he bought them accents back. Fireee
Relapse 2 now please

Final Thots: I remember enjoying orignal MTBMB less than this on First Listen but can't tell it's better than the original as of now, This new one had highs but can't tell if any are better than songs like Darkness or You Gon' Learn. Good Project for sure.
A TON of bars probably flew over my head & I don't judge any album with a single listen but as now I'd rate my first listen enjoyment as 7-7.5/10
Favorite Songs: Alfred's Theme, Zeus, Discombobulated, Gnat, These Demons, Guns Blazing.
Skips: She Loves Me, Killer.
