    I find it interesting that everyone that gave this album a 10 has yet to master the English language.

    The moment he was still a little mad in his lyrics and approach of society. He deals with sex and ego and **** around who disagrees with his stuff. The model rapper ?

    The Eminem show certainly has some historic tunes on it such as 'Without me' and 'Till I Collapse', but the album as a whole doesn't feel like it's Eminem writing at his best. It seems more of a bragging album crossed with a sympathy album, rather than the hard hitting and witty Eminem from The Marshall Mathers LP.

    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.
