In 2007, Eminem almost died after ingesting a massive dose of methadone (in a later Rolling Stone interview, he explained that he had originally been looking for Vicodin). That harrowing experience is laid out on “Arose,” the final track of his ninth album “Revival,” which dropped on Friday.

The song imagines his final thoughts as he says goodbye to his three daughters and his brother — and apologizes to his mother — before envisioning the scene: “Nurses lean over the bed, pulling tubes out/Then the sheet over my head, shut the room down.”

It’s a hard listen, but the Detroit rapper never makes things easy on his fans. In truth, not all 19 tracks on “Revival” are good (and some, such as the dunderheaded rock-hop of “Remind Me,” are just plain woeful), but Eminem is still most arresting when he goes deep within himself.

And, thankfully, the 45-year-old reflects long and hard on his life and career throughout the album. Here are some of the most revealing moments of introspection on “Revival,” analyzed by song.

Eminem’s tempestuous relationship with ex-wife Kim Scott has been a subplot to his entire career. While the title of “Bad Husband” indicates the rapper is blaming himself, he says the responsibility was “partly yours, partly mine/But really no ones, this is so tough/I’m getting choked up/Oh f–k it, we both suck.” It’s fascinating to hear Eminem go deep on his two marriages with Scott, but the weak hook provided by X Ambassadors is a distraction.

The prospect of hearing Eminem spend three minutes rapping over the Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Zombie” isn’t appealing on paper. But it’s a horrible union worth persevering through, if only to hear the rapper reexamining his career with obvious regret – particularly how his amoral alter-ego Slim Shady ended up defining him. “Maybe, I should’ve [done] a better job at separating Shady/And entertaining.”

Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade (his only child with Kim) is now in her early 20s. In “Castle,” he expresses sadness that she’s grown up with the emotional baggage of her parents warring in public, specifically during Eminem’s early career: “You ain’t asked for none of this s–t/Now you’re being punished.” Clearly, hindsight is turning out to be both beneficial and deeply painful for the rapper.

“Untouchable” is the first single off the album.
