Eminem- Music to Be Murdered By- My husband listens to this (and Em's follow-up album that just came out) all the time. It has some catchy stuff (as a pop fan, the Ed Sheeran song, while not my favorite subject matter, is the catchiest).) Do you usually tend to prefer his non-singles to his singles? (I feel that the singles have to be the most mainstream "catchy" songs...?)?

I had NO IDEA that Kansas was still around & making music!

I don't buy as many albums as I used to, and even when I do tend to buy new albums, if I ever memorize the songs, it takes a lot more listens to memorize them...do you have this problem, or you're just a sponge with all this music?!

I like a respectable enough percentage of Eminem’s non-singles to his hits, but I won’t lie, a lot of his best stuff does tend to be released as singles. I haven’t heard much of the new album yet, but from what I recall it looks like mostly b-sides from MTBMB.

I don’t tend to memorize a lot of the songs from the albums that I buy, but I’ll admit that I’m normally not one to hyper fixate on any given album or song, at least not as much as I used to. I tend to give an album a listen or two and go to something else, and take my time to come back to it. It says a lot of the quality of a release if I can listen to it repeatedly on a frequent basis.
