I cant speak for everything on that list, and I generally agree with you, but as a fan of Eminem it has always been an annoyance for me that he cannot keep to a theme to save his life. Maybe in the first four you could argue his theme was kept through cohesion sonically but no way do any of his recent works carry a theme. How many love songs on music to be murdered by? Kamikaze stops to take a stroll trough nowhere with Normal, good guy🤐 and bad guy then a soundtrack to a superhero movie and despite being great, stepping stones fits nowhere on then album.
