    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

  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]
