    One of the best Eminem Album by far. Songs are beyond great and it has a lot of replay value to different music that's in the album whenever or whatever your mood is.

    The Marshall Mathers LP is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. Stan is (in my opinion) the greatest song ever written, and the rest of the album is almost on par

    The pentacle of his career and quite possibly the greatest hip hop album of all time!

    GOAT from the day one
    78?! What's wrong with critics? This is the greatest album in the hip-hop history

    This is his most complete, raw, and best project overall. Classic. Matter of fact he has four classics: SSLP, MMLP, TES, and Relapse. Yes MFker Relapse.

    There is not one single bad song on this album. It's hard too pick and choose but the best tracks on the album in my opinion would be Stan, The Way I Am, and Kim

    I think that the fact this album is only rated 78 is an insult. This is easily Eminem's most raw and honest work ever.

    This is one of the greatest album's ever created. The **** he was rapping about was new and unique in that time and it had a big influence in rap, so it's a 10/10 no cap

    One of Slim Shady's best albums with record breaking sales with the use of his alter ego he managed to grab the attention of the audience with his great sense of homour

    The collaborative efforts of tracks like "Bitch Please II" and "Under the Influence" make Eminem seem like an ornamental prop in Dr. Dre's ever-growing hip-hop dynasty.
  2. The problem is, as the album drags on, young Master Mathers wastes his considerable wit and opts to grouse in the guise of a rampaging reactionary. Song after song finds Eminem viciously baiting real and imagined enemies, as if that's all he knows how to do.
  3. It just isn't as much fun this time around, no matter how fresh Dre's beats are or how many worthy targets get shot down along with the innocent.
