Oct 28, 2011As for me it is the best Eminem album. The beats on this album are better. He shows how versatile he is on his flows, lyrics, emotions.Has nice guest list especially Nate Dogg.

Sep 8, 2011i love this album. love every aspect of it.. when im gone is so perfect., infact this whole album is so perfect. loved the style and speed of rapping from eminem in this album. i hope he carries on with the same !!
-
Sep 5, 2011After a two brilliant albums, Mathers returns for what is essentially his middle album. It's not quite at the highs of The Marshall Mathers LP, but it hasn't quite stooped to the lows of Encore. This time, his beats are pumped up, and there's much more of a poppy feel to the majority of the songs. A subconsciously dark tune featuring his daughter Hailey stands out among the pack.
-
Jul 6, 2011Eminem matures and takes more of a political view in this album. May not be his best album ever but it is definitely my favorite album Eminem has ever created.
-
Jun 23, 2011Phenomenal album...probably in the running as the best album of 2002. The only knock on it is that it had to follow up the expectations set by The Marshall Mathers LP, which it almost does.
-
Jun 8, 2011You see Eminem expand a lot more on his personal side a lot more than he did on the Marshall Mathers LP. This is lot more serious but his lyricism is emmaculate
-
May 12, 2011finally eminem raps like a black person. this album was banging. this is my personal favorite by him. but the Marshall Mathers Lp was better though. i liked every song on this album it was better than average. some of his best lyrics is on this album.
-
May 3, 2011yeah this is the best album of music i ever listen i love this album so much eminem forever really the best album of all time and no other noob is like eminem !he is **** perfect!

Mar 23, 2011Great album, Em at his best. He puts so much into each song showing just how talented he is. Unbelievable lyrics and crisp hooks, no one can match him when he is hot.
-
Mar 13, 2011The 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.

Jan 27, 2011Lyrically Genius is proved once again, i cannot stress how good this album is a 10 in every aspect. ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
-
Nov 16, 2010An amazing lyrical genius, this album holds what Eminem truly is. From the whitty-ness of "without me" to the seriousness of "Sing for the moment" its an album Ive bought and glad I did.
-
Oct 25, 2010Without ever really matching the heights of The Marshall Mathers LP or The Slim Shady LP (excepting maybe one or two cuts), Eminem manages a good quality record that breezes through 80 minutes like it was nothing. Not only is he a terrific rhymer (obviously), but he makes it sound so easy.

Aug 30, 2010A 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.

AlainCJun 22, 2009This is his best album fr me it should be 9.5 out of 10. i mean its not perfect but its mad ill.
-

BenF.Feb 10, 2009Eminem is amazing. I mean, he is a fabulous rapper. Why 75? It should be a lot higher than that.
-
-
JackROct 14, 2008i know this cd was out 6 years ago but it is by far his best a without a doubt classic and is one of the best ever.

JaffarR.Apr 8, 2008Best ever baby!! Intense lyrical vibe.
-

RyanM.Mar 17, 2008Greatest ever.
-
-
ShadyS.Feb 4, 2008This 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.
-
-
Jess.L.S.M.Dec 10, 2007Jen C. obviously is a friggin nun, cuz she has not taste in music. or are you a guy? haha, fucker, get a life. "The Eminem Show" is the best shit, and it don't take a fuckin genius to figure that out. keep spittin, Marshall!
-
-
Bryanm.Sep 13, 2007it got lots of awards, and is his best Cd. so what if they don't have gay songs like i am the real slim shady. it is still good.
-
-
BrannonMApr 2, 2007He'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.

nickhOct 5, 2006this album was the best and so is eminem he is so hot i love him i am gay i wish i could $uck him offf woot woot
-
-
AdamBFeb 19, 2006Possibly his best work. Any one who says differnt is crap. He is the master of rap and music right now. Is the best selling rapper of all time and is just all around great rapper.
-
-
KaseyNJan 26, 2006I love The Eminem Show. It is one of the best albums made. Eminem is a lyrical genios,if you doubt that you should sit the fuck down, and shut the fuck up.

FinfroskSep 24, 2005Eminem is the best rapper ever. His lyrics are incredible, no other rapper comes close. And the best track is sayin goodbye to hollywood.

TheillusionistAug 4, 2005this is asolid return for eminem and the album has alot of good components such as hard as nails production, amazing lyrics, memorable hooks and some truly epic tracks along the way.The best tracks are cleaning out my closet, superman and sing for the moment.

-

PeterS.BizarreJul 10, 2004Metacritic doesn't know anything about Eminem. This isn't his third album, this is his 5th! Here's the list: Infinite The Slim Shady EP The Slim Shady LP The Marshall Mathers LP The Eminem Show That's 5, not 3. Anyway, this is a good album. Buy it.

GaborAMar 1, 2004Eminem proves that no matter how his life changes he can always make good rap songs about it but his power is limited to altering his own life and entertaining his listeners. He simply isnt able to change our lives as the gods of music do.
-
-
curefreakFeb 29, 2004while eminem is starting to repeat some of his themes to the point of beating them to the ground the best songs are when he attacks the government and explains that after 9/11 we need him now more than ever the only bad song is the aerosmith sampling ballad the album could have used more of eminems sense of humor sense the album runs a bit long
-

CaitlynPoliceJan 7, 2004this cd is awsome i don't know why some of you dont like it but it was fuckin sick

KatiePDec 26, 2003Eminem has matured. But he is still as funny and as clever as always. A great CD.

BrittanyRNov 21, 2003This is a great cd. Eminem rocks and for all of you people who do not like him, then there is something wrong with you in the head. And for all of use who doubt him, that just aint right cause you dont know him and to everyone that gave him less then a five, you need to get a clue. For real yo. im out. peace.

MarkDec 24, 2002I find it interesting that everyone that gave this album a 10 has yet to master the English language.
-
-
krissNov 15, 2002its a mature step foward in the growth of an artist.more serious than the first two albums, yet it still cotains its share of funny moments.
-
-
MattOct 1, 2002The reason he's so popular is he's a white person who can rap with the best of rappers - nothing else. He makes such good rap albums that they transcend the genre.

ShawnaSep 29, 2002My favourite CD ever!

EmilyH.Aug 31, 2002I luv this album soooooo much. I think this has to be his best work ever. He has the guts to say what people think and I admire that and respect him.
-
-
RyanT.Aug 22, 2002His weakest album yet. Not as shocking as his 2nd album or as funny as his 1st. His rhymes this time around are just not as interesting. What saves him though is his lyrical flow and there are a few great songs on the album Cleanin Out My Closet, and Sing For The Moment after that most of the songs are just medicore.
-
-
KhahlaB.Aug 14, 2002eminem is the best ' i love him and his cd '

AndersE.Aug 14, 2002Every single song on this CD was incredible and thats hard to find.

AmberE.Jul 27, 2002Eminem is still the best i still havent got sick of his cd i listen to it whenever i can He is soooo sexy too.
-
-
JamesJ.Jun 21, 2002Clearly, the rap album of the year, if not the album of the year. Its a masterpiece from track 1 to 20. The production is great. His rhyming patterns are unmatchable. In my view, he is the greatest lyricist of all time
-
-
AmanL.Jun 21, 2002Great follow up to his last great album the MM LP.
-
-
PhillM.Jun 21, 2002What would have been nice would have been a few more songs where Eminem rags on his x wife. I think 18 out of twenty wasn't quite enough. Love him or hate him when without me comes on white black young or old I defy you not to at least tap your foot.
-
-
OliverB.Jun 14, 2002this album is one of the best albums ive ever owned. Eminem is the best rapper in the world
-
-
JakeB.Jun 12, 2002best he has made yet, cannot wait to here the next one he put his heart into this album and i give him a 10 for that. keep it up
-
-
SethB.Jun 2, 2002Incredible! I actually agree with most of the critics. My opinion of this album is a hybrid of the New Musical Express's and E! Online. 'Nuff Said. Almost... He's sold about as much as Britney with only about 1/3 of the promo.
-

LloydB.May 30, 2002this his best one ever

Eminem just may have made the best rap-rock album in history
-
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.
-
UncutBehind 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]
