    The lyrics are captivating, emotions are conveyed through these songs that I never expected. It has bits of that "Don't give a f*ck Eminem" plus some philospihcal, emotional, political tracks.

    A perfect ending to one of the most consistent 3-albums run in history of hiphop. A filled with emotion and personal details, political tracks, motivational hits, and a top notch lyrical ability shown throughout the whole album.

    Horrible album. This man has fallen so hard. Why do his fans dare play with us and the best album of the decade?

    Most definitely his best project.
    The production fits the style of the album
    While the flow and lyrics are almost just as aggressive as his previous album.
    This was the peak of Marshall Mathers.

    This album is a classic. The album has songs remembered and commonly played to this day. T'ill I collapse has gotten the title "Most played rap song for working out" and without me has over 800 million views on youtube. He also talks about how he loves his daughter, the state of america in that time period, and his controversies.

    Undoubtably both Eminem and Rap itself's magnum opus. Doubt that anyone's anything could trump this piece of art.

    Undoubtedly Eminem's best album of all time. The production of this album is unmatched, except for Relapse. The lyrical content of this album shows the full genius that is Eminem. This is what a perfect album looks like.

    Practically Eminem at his best. While shock rap isnt really something difficult to do, Eminem mixes it with his lyrical cleverness. He throws out memorable punchlines bound to stick and he does it in a style which is clearly not simple and just thrown

    He's said if he was black he would have sold have, i disagree, he would have sold less than that. The music media(especially rolling stone magazine)raised him up on an undeserved petastal. He is talented lyrically, but today in 2007, all his flows he uses he's used before and numbers don't equal talent.

    This has got to B the best album ever made by Slim Shady! I've listened to every song every rhyme and every comment made on these works of art and i gotta say........ GIVE IT UP FOR EMINEM! without a doubt Shady has set the standard for rappers across the globe......... a side from 50 CENT of course.

    A fantastic album, almost flawless lyrically - his rhyming and flow are at his peak on here. This is a more mature Eminem though we still see the dark side of him in tracks like Cleaning Out My Closet and Slim Shady type tracks like Without Me. Overall a solid album, possibly his best.

    The Eminem Show is a fantastic album, containing very interesting and entertaining songs, a great example of this is White America. White America quotes "I'm like my skin is it starting to work to my benefit now" this is talking about how if he was black he wouldn't be as huge as he is. Other great tracks on this CD include Cleaning Out My Closet, where he discuses his rocky relationshipThe Eminem Show is a fantastic album, containing very interesting and entertaining songs, a great example of this is White America.

Other great tracks on this CD include Cleaning Out My Closet, where he discuses his rocky relationship with his mother, Debbie Mathers. Sing For The Moment, a song where he talks about how literal his music really is and how he has a responsibility being an entertainer. When the Music Stops, he brings D12 back in again for a visit. This time they discuss how music has influenced every member in the group in this 4:28 epic track. 'Till I Collapse is an incredibly fast-paced and well executed track by Eminem & Nate Dogg. To be perfectly honest, I could talk about how great each song is. Here are some honourable mentions, Business, Square Dance, Soldier, Say Goodbye Hollywood, Drips, Without Me, Superman, Hailie's Song, Say What You Say and My Dad's Gone Crazy. A perfect 10! Well done, Marshall Mathers. Expand

    Easily Eminem's most consistently great album. Every track is a degree of excellence. There are no filler tracks like the Marshall Mathers LP, and all of the skits are great, unlike the Slim Shady LP. The only negative quality this album has is that it made Encore look even worse in comparison.

  1. Eminem just may have made the best rap-rock album in history
  2. With each successive album Eminem finds new depth and excitement within the same themes and structures he used way back on The Slim Shady LP, so even if new songs contain earmarks of Eminem classics, they still feel reinvigorated.
  3. Uncut

    Behind the hype and the swagger, he's still baring enough of his soul for The Eminem Show to be compelling theatre. [Aug 2002, p.118]
