Doesn't live up to the hype. Other than that, a mediocre release at best. '4' is a generous rating.

I was very disappointed this time around

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

The 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.

i love this album! the last one was great, and this one follows it up very well. eminem is one of the greatest artists of all time. i say buy the album, you won't regret it.

this album has helped me through so much crap! i love it! and for those of you who dont.... you obviously cant hear because its awesome!

eminem is my baby.... i wan to marry him hes totally hott, and his music rocks hes the best rapper in the history of any rapper

This Cd is the best of Em!!!!!!!!

Great CD

Eminem is cool! :)

Probably the greatest rap album of all time..i would say better than tupac's all eyes on me..the albums kicks ass...go slim!!WE LOVE YOU!

Metacritic 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.

I've always been an Eminem fan and I have to say this is one of his best yet.

this 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.

this 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

This album had to be his best one yet. Anyone who says different is on some bullshit so fuck yall hoes.

Eminem has definately still got it, his raps are still as raw and emotive as they always were, and the bass quality on this album is truely outstanding. Shadys Back...

best 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

this album is one of the best albums ive ever owned. Eminem is the best rapper in the world

Great follow up to his last great album the MM LP.

Square Dance was worth purchasing the album, but sorry Slim I downloaded it off the internet. All in all the album is entertaining. His lyrical power is undaunted from all of the political drama that plagues his life, but unfortunatley for us, we have to hear about it, in very plain words. Marshall: Do everyone a favor and reach back in that bag of lyrics and pull out stories like Stan, Mushrooms, Criminal, and check your baggage at the door. If you continue to drill on us about your personal life, we're gonna fall asleep. We caught all that on the 11 oclock news, show us something new. … Expand

Incredible! 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.

Same as it ever was, basically. If you liked it before you'll like it again. My only problem is the production is not quite up to par with the others. Dre produces a couple songs but Eminem does the rest and with only a handfull of exceptions, rappers don't know jack about making beats. They're passable though.

He did it again! once more he managed to create an amazing lp that contains the BEST songs!!! Much better and more complex than Marshall Matters, though it rocks too!

great album! i liked all the songs

if u dont get this ur missin out on the best album of the year, if u do get it i dont blame ya, it is awesome.

Bloody brilliant, clever, quick, deep rapping, what more could we ask? FUCKIN AWESOME!!

i love this album.eminem is at his best.the slick beats r too cool

I said to my self when his first cd came out, "please this dumass is not gonna get any where" But i guess i was wrong, he has quite a following.. The only thing more annoying than his fuckin voice, is his fans... I say this becuz its a bunch of wanna be hard white boys..Almost all of his songs is coming off as trying to be funny or sayin some stupid shit..I mean listening to this is like listening to about 3o secounds of each track.. Nothing serious just stupid shit over and over, and on this site he has fans that either thinks he's cute or thinks he's hardcore in some way... And still is he like the biggest rapper of all time according to Marcos R.. What a fuckin joke, you have rappers like Nas, Fat joe, BIG, tupac, DMX, Big L, method man, Dre, Wu tang, need i say more.. Most of you mother fuckers who like slim is listenin to blink 182 and mudvayne and shit.. So shut the fuck up and know about rap before sayin "he's the best, best cd, best rapper, best look, ahh im gettin fuckin sick.. Thats like saying The Strokes is the best in rock.. I give slim 2 more years before he gets fuckin old like all the other white rappers... laters… Expand

Awesome rap lyrics it just makes you start feeling like you want to be eminem

i love eminem he is sosexy and this cd is cool

i believe eminem is a genius, and this is my reason, do you think einstien would of wrote any of this shit??

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

this is a solid and welcome return from the master of hip hop and is a very well crafted thrill ride.The production is in top form, slim's raps still posses that lyrical and rythmical quality other rappers lack and the hooks are merorable.The album delivers some truly epic tracks along the way, such as cleaning out my closet, sing for the moment and superman and hallies song are also highlights.Eminem has the ability to impose lyrics with soul and importance making the CD even more interesting.great stuff.… Expand

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.

it 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.

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.

Eminem is amazing. I mean, he is a fabulous rapper. Why 75? It should be a lot higher than that.

Eminem is soo hott and the song Hailies song was me and my boyfriend jordan banks song. if jordan is reading this I LOVE U. u probubly dont belive me and before you go to the boys home i want u to know i will miss u and thanx for everything u ever did for me, your new gf is pry better then i will ever be. my mom said that we might adopt u so u can still go to rosevelt. but i dont know how u wold feel about that. THAT WOULD BE REALLY WIRED THOUGH.. i love u soo much tear tear tear lauren … Expand

Why 10? It isn't as good as "The Marshall Mathers LP", but when I rated 10 "The Marshall LP", it was 'cuz I couldn't rate it 11 or 12.

um...crap

this album rocks

Rick B is the problem with people today grow some balls get a sence of humor eminem is hilarious, when i first listen to his cd i sit there an laugh at all the people who he makes fun of and it never gets old rick so got to hell u make ME sick

best cd yet

this his best one ever

This album rocks espescially the song Without Me when he dogs on Moby.

One of the best cd's out there this year! Eminem has Lived up to the hype and Killed all the other cd's out there today! Eminem will Keep making these kinds of cd's and thats the good thing because all you ass-holes who dont liek him, can go kiss my ass!

What 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.

Clearly, 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

An amazing CD. He is just as lyriclaly amazing as he was on The Marshall Mathers LP, but with more seriousness. I think the MMLP is a better album overall, but we are talking about the lesser of two greats.

This is the best album ever made. This should win the grammy award for album of the year because this is much better than the MMLP.

This album kicks @ss

I love eminem i should shoot myself because i did not get this album on the first day it came out, therefore giving my friends a reason to bag on me. this is probobaly the most personal abum out of all his albums. Although the least funny. The only problem is that it needed more tracks. Also Eminem is a great singer. He sings in the Halley song. Now people hardly have anything to attack him for due to the fact he uses the word faggot like three times in his album. A must get for any Eminem fan. Don't get the internet copy, show support. And all Sissy Moby fans that get offended by this album, go to the layer from hell you came from, stay back you evil beasts of Burden.… Expand

I just got the album and it's a great C.d !!!

Eminem is the absolute best he fully rocks

i like the songs on this album. i dont really like this site because it should have the lyrics for " without me". apart from that its ok

eminem is the best ' i love him and his cd '

His 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.

em rocks

This album rocked and that halies song is great, that is the best song you have!!!

it was F!!!!!!! Cool I love it

This album is awesome..I love it. Admittedly, I've never really took his music seriously but I'm starting to change that attitude with this album. It's awesome.

eminem is sssooooooo hot and i love him i wish to meet him one day .his songs r the best ever .i love the cd the eminem show i listened to it everyday .i love the song the real slim shady its that best .loseyour self is in the 8 mile cd that is the best too i know all the words in all eminem song.

Alright, If the number went higher than 10 thats what it would get. This CD is Bad A**! What Eminem, D-12, and Dre are singing about is the plain truth, so get used to it! Like when he says "...can words load a gun and cock it too?" Peace Out Brent Parker

one of his hottest records out

Mark, I got a degree in English and love this album. Jen C, your a bit sad, aren't you? Einstein and all those other genius' are pretty talented, but could they ever rap like Eminem.Of corse not.Everyone has a talent and Eminem's is writing and producing massive songs.What makes him a genius is the fact that he's so good at it.According to my I.Q. test, I am inside the top 1% in the country for intelligence, yet I could never produce the music that Eminem can.How he does it I'll never know! … Expand

this is the best c.d. in history id rate it 100 if i could. This is the best c.d. in history. eminem knows how to make music unlike justin timberlake and them gay ppl.

doesnt quite compare to the marshal mathers lp but its still his 2nd best album ever beatin encore, infinate and slim shady lp

while 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

Eminem 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.

This was an awesome CD!! I loved it!!

Jen 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!

i 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.

Greatest ever.

Best ever baby!! Intense lyrical vibe.

I think this album is soo tight!!The songs are just good and I love it the way he puts these tracks together.You go Marshall!!As for you Rick B. if I was Marshall,I'd tell you to kiss my a** because this album is awesome.I don't see you making any money like he is so shut the f*ck up!! I'm Outie!

its 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.

this cd is cool

obviously eminem is lyrically skilled but he seems more concerned about pleasing his pop fans than making real hip-hop music and pushing his skills to its fullest potential. this album was fairly good, but overall disappointing and had a lot of mediocre tracks.

This is simply an amazing album. It is a great improvement over the last one, all the tracks are amazing apart from three D12 ones put in there which are a great shame and is why this album doesn't get a ten. In this album Eminem seems to have gone for a more serious aproach than his last one. It is and improvement of a great formula that has made his previous albums so successful.

i give it a 9 becuase lets face it it is just as good as the other 2 and he is still the best lyracist out. the only reason he didnt get a 10 is becasue the only cd's that get 10's are the ones like "illmatic" and "the blue print" albums where you can sit back and listen bob your head too and you know the rapper has more bags in his tricks, we love your music but for the most part keep your personal life out of it because it is just that your personal life. much love great album!… Expand

if you dont like it dont buy it! actually you should,and listen to the words then you would understand.

Eminem is still the best i still havent got sick of his cd i listen to it whenever i can He is soooo sexy too.

Every single song on this CD was incredible and thats hard to find.

I 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.

My favourite CD ever!

This 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.

shady's the shit the only reason I rap is cause of em all u motha fuckas can suck my dick if you got a problem wit shady this album is his best

eminem is the coolest and jen c, if thats wat u think u betta sit down and hav second thougts because his da best ever o and eminem u RULE with 4 capitals. and mark, get a grip cause nobodys perfect!! besides thats how rappers RAP!!!

Very awful, thought I was listening to Micheal Jackson, Queen, The Rolling Stones, and Tupac at the same time, o - wait it was just eminem ripping off their music

this cd rocked i listen to it everyday the hole cd

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

I 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.

Possibly 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.

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

this album is totally original man!

First things first, Eminem is *not* a genius. He may be a fantastic rapper and a great rap producer, but he's no general genius. Einstein, Mozart, Miles Davis, Chopin, Michelangelo, John Contrane = genius, Eminem = good rapper. People, there is a difference. The album is ok. The main problem is that the same themes are played out over and over and OVER AND OVER again. We get it Marshall, you hate your mom, your ex-wife, you feel like a victim all the time and you love your baby girl. Move on! "Cleaning Out My Closet" has got to be the most annoying "poor me poor me" song *ever*. I know he's got the talent to put together origional beats and work some lyrical gymnastics...now if only there were substance to go with the style. … Expand

wicked cd, packed with bad mouthed crap. i loved it!
