On Survival, he sounds and looks like a caricature of himself spouting the same "do or die, survival of the fittest" themed stuff he's been since Recovery dropped. I just dont believe "Survival," the song has the lyrics and sonics to suggest a very intense and fiery song, but Em's vocals just sound half assed and dont match the intensity the rest of the song projects.
Which makes complete sense for a COD game: lots of noise, guitar, and white people screaming but ultimately not a substantial or quality piece of entertainment.

You don't think that Em's vocals are intense? Listen to the 3rd verse again.
WBD is a horrendous song. Everything about it is complete shit. Em's delivery, lyrics, song's production.
Theyre certainly trying to be intense, they sure want you to believe theyre intense.But they fall short, stan. Listen to WBD and then Survival. Do it right now. Survival might get you pumped to play a stupid game, but WBD makes you want to kick down your house.
Em's vocals have been criticized for being too loud and intense recently, but this is the first song in a while where I wish Em would have turned his vocals and rage up instead of down.
