Regardless, dope stuff.
I disagree about the shouting. He effectively shouts The Way I Am, parts of Remember Me, Kim and those tracks never get any flack for the shouting.
Recently, the issue with the shouting has a lot to do with his voice: he sounds hoarse and raspy, whereas this sounds smooth and consistent and therefore draws you in a lot easier. It's not so much shouting as vicious rapping. And when he puts that emotion behind an inspiring flow, and a high, fairly clean sounding voice, it's amazing how much difference it can make.
This. He sounds very smooth in this.
