I'm in the same boat, but I heard that Eminem killed off the Slim Shady character.

Yea basically the album transitions from a cringe Slim Shavy vs Eminem bunch of stuff into a Slim Shady being killed turning it into more of a solo "classic" Eminem.

It's littered with reference and remix of his older lyrics and tracks, which is nice in a maybe too nostalgic kind of way, but as and old millennial, I still think playing the offensive Slim Shady character and putting it next to a "reformed" Emined that yells "OMG you can't say that nooooo!" is, at best, dumb as fuck and smells of "Marshall you don't really get the point do you?".

But to be fair none of what he was saying back in the 2000s was any more acceptable. You listened to it without possibly agreeing to it.
