This album is not just another instalment in Eminem’s extensive catalogue. This is a statement, a character’s ark closing. With demise or with redemption? We will learn soon. But for it, we’ll have to go through the album as a reader goes through a book, as a detective goes through clues in a particular order.
So, before unleashing “The Death of Slim Shady” on the world this Friday, Eminem dropped a public service announcement (isn’t it ironic?) on social media.
Public service announcement: the “death of slim shady” is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense. Enjoy.
It means there is nothing random in how tracks are placed on “The Death of Slim Shady”. The story unfolds in a specific sequence. So, ditch the shuffle button because if you listen to these tracks out of order, things might get muddled.
Think of it like a twisted movie soundtrack, each song a scene building towards the grand finale. Trust the process. Listen to it front to back, and prepare to witness the metaphorical (or maybe literal, who knows with Eminem?) death of Slim Shady.
Is this the actual end of an era? Is Marshall Mathers finally laying his most iconic persona to rest? We’ll all find out on Friday, July 12. Get ready to be shocked, disturbed, and maybe even a little introspective. After all, it wouldn’t be an Eminem album without a healthy dose of messing with your head.The post Eminem Warns: Don’t Put “The Death of Slim Shady” on Shuffle first appeared on Eminem.Pro - the biggest and most trusted source of Eminem.
