That's not a defense of either eminem or the publications, I enjoy the album well enough but after my first listen I knew there was simply no chance of this doing well from the consensus of professional critics - they aren't "allowed" to praise it with this kind of content - even if they might like most of it from an overall sonics or lyrics perspective
