Music reviews of Devil's Night
Music Review: The closest thing I'll get to liking anything with Eminem
Rating: 3 Stars
First off, let's get this D12 out of the way. D12 is not just some Eminem side project where Eminem just got 5 random rappers off the street and made it his own band. They formed in the early 90's, and were underground when they first started. Eminem was, in fact, a member in the early years, and Eminem wasn't an MTV household name (not necessarly a good thing) like he is during this decade. If Eminem wasn't well known, D12 would still be as underground as when they first started.
It's evident that the five other members are just as part of the band as Eminem is, because Eminem dosen't rap about his personal problems everybody hates to hear. Therefore, it is miles better from all the other ____ music Eminem has done. It sounds like a project by D12, not just Eminem.
Don't get too excited, while this album is better than Eminem's stuff, it's not that great. While at least three MC's have some skill, Bizarre has got to be the worst. It's not his crude nature, that dosen't bother me at all. He just _________ annoying, he has no talent, and he's kind of boring. Even though I'm glad none of the songs on here deal with Eminem's mother and his damn _____ of a wife, it's not entirely mindblowing, or even that great. Indeed, this rap is not much different from the voilence and drugs that flood rap. Not as bad, there's some interesting concepts. It's not mind bendingly original, but it dosen't have to be.
I'll get the bad stuff out of the way first. There's plenty of unfunny skits. Besides the appearance of the lovable Steve Berman, the skits are pointless and unfunny. Bizarre is typical juvenile clap-trap, That's how is a waste of thirty seven seconds, and Obie Trice is a weak representation of himself. The Public Service Announcement isn't very funny either. Lastly, Revelation, Blow My Buzz, ____ Can Happen, and Girls, are unlistenable, or just bore me to death. Weak beats, uninspiring choruses, and weak verses make these songs NOT okay.
The rest... it's not classic. The songs are fine, but the choruses do fail on some songs like American Physco, and Bizarre's verses are a waste of time. Sure, he deserves to be in the group, but he has no appeal. He is akin to the fat little @$$ in high school who had absolutely no feelings and will probally remain a fat virgin 'till he's 30 or ends up like Bizarre himself. The lyrical content is particually clever at times, but songs like Pimp like Me feature typical degrading, yawn.
So why does this album even merit three stars? Flowing, passable rapping, especially from Kuniva, Swift, and Proof. It shows, although "Flowing, accomplished rapping" does NOT apply to Bizarre. The beats are also half-way decent as well. It's worth the occasional spin for me.
Most people will wright this off on the sole fact that Eminem is a member. Who cares? D12 shows the other members are part of the band, none of the members take the spotlight, they actually share it much evenly, so the whole album is balanced. If you don't like Eminem, this album won't change your mind, but those who can tolerate some of his stuff will warm up to Devil's Night. Avoid D12 World.
6.5/10
Description of Devil's Night
Aussie edition of the long awaited debut album from Eminem's original group, D12. This strictly limited edition includes a five track bonus disc featuring, 'These Drugs', 'Words Are Weapons', 'Shit On You' (Explicit), 'Shit On You' (Video-Explicit), 'Dirty TV International' (Video), enhanced D-12 picture gallery & weblink. 2001 release.Australian-only edition of 'Devil's Night', which debuted at #1 with a bullet last week on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart, with a bonus disc featuring three audio tracks and an enhanced portion that includes CD-ROM videos for the record's first single, "Shit On You" (Explicit) and "Dirty TV International", plus a photo gallery and a weblink. The main disc contains all 19 tracks from the U.S. release, including the hidden cut "Girls". Comes housed in a double slimline jewel case.Eminem: love him or hate him? It's no surprise that Slim Shady evokes such conflicted feelings--he's easy to champion and disparage alike, and this new D12 album doesn't make the decision any easier. Though hip-hop's pale wonder is now joined by his five, conspicuously black Detroit peers, this still sounds and feels like a Marshall Mathers project. The biting disses of MTV pop figures ("Ain't Nuttin' But Music")--still there. The dark journeys into faux psychosis ("American Psycho," "Devils Night")--still there. The big middle finger at conservatives, conformists, and critics ("That's How," "Purple Pills," "S*** Can Happen")--still there. And throw in Dr. Dre's production alongside Denaun Porter's lumbering funk tracks and Em's own beats, and this is basically the third Eminem album. Besides, he's still the most interesting of the six D12 members to listen to--slicker lyrics, better flow, and just a more engaging personality. Which, of course, is telling the listener to go to hell. Bottom line: If you liked the last two Eminem albums, this one won't disappoint. And if you hated the last two, at least you have the other D12 members to distract your attention. --Oliver Wang
