Love story

"As both an executive producer and label-head, Love Story signals a failure for Eminem as well, and bears the same structural flaws that nag his own late-career output-namely, a lot of filler, poor sequencing, and just too much of the same damn thing. Em's fingerprints are all over the music and his own production credits yield plodding, heavy-handed beats that don't suit Yelawolf's once-erratic flow ... Yelawolf sounds like he's just going through the motions instead of actually covering ground".

"This time around he's less Eminem, more Kid Rock: Instead of awkward outsourced hooks, the Alabama native serves up slow-burn ballads like "Devil in My Veins" and "Whiskey in a Bottle," where he weaves in and out of cornfed guitar licks. Yelawolf's populist ambitions haven't gone away - check the wave-your-lighter anthem "American You" - but Love Story avoids sanding away all of his edges. Deep down, he's still a proud "American fuck-up" who grew up next to "spoon-cooking heroin junkies" and "methadone clinics."".
