Curtain Call (Parental Advisory/The Hits) [PA] - Eminem

Advantages: Great lyrics from one of the greatest rappers in existant, passionate in places, and three original tracks
Disadvantages: Sadly, it is little more than a "Best Of" album. More on that inside....

Ok, first and foremost, I will warn you that in the quotes in this review, there can and will be very naughty language and references to drugs. As such, everyone under the age of 18 scroll down humming Yankee Doodle and click Exceptional, quoting "reddragonflame, we love you". Seriously, I mean it, I won't be held responsible for corrupting your minds. Last chance..... Alright, with the young whippersnappers safely out of the way, let us begin. ...
...he? Everyone knows who he is. He's the white rapper who swears a lot and has come under fire for many reasons, including his violent and explicit lyrics, a track he released that was deemed racist, bringing his daughter into the spotlight on numerous occasions, openly talking about drugs and fighting... in fact, the man even has a serial killer who used him as an idol! He's surrounded by controversy ("I thought you said no introduction!") primarily ... Read review

Advantages: Lose Youself, Stan, The Way I Am, Like Toy Soldiers, When Im Gone
Disadvantages: FACK, FACK, FACK..... simple as

EMINEM - Curtain Call. And so for his 5th mainstream album we are given a selection of slim shadys greatest hits from classics like My Name is and Guilty Conscience up to the more recent and brilliant When im Gone. So how does it fair up.... As with previous albums we are treated to a rather amusing intro, showing that EMINEM hasnt lost his humerous side just yet. Things are looking good at this point, a familiar start to therefore what should be ...

The curtain maybe closing.... but his music lives on. (RIP ... Read review

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song
Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)

...now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady). Now for the album ...
...begins with another one of eminems concert style intros. This one has more of a 60's romantic style music, however, nothing special in this. 2 - FACK 8/10 This is one of the few tracks he sang especially for this album. He sings from a mans perspective about having sex with a woman and how he likes to f**k f**k f**k. 3 - The Way I Am 9/10 This song is uplifted from his previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP. This was his dedication to the media ... Read review

...featuring `Eminem' talking in a very exaggerated tone more than he raps. "Shake That", is a club oriented single featuring `Nate Dogg'. "When I'm Gone" is very sentimental song about Eminem's daughter 'Hailie Jade Mathers'. The album has currently sold 2.5 million units in the U.S (United States), and a worldwide total of about 7 million units. This includes 1 million in the U.K (United Kingdom, where it topped the album chart for 5 weeks , including ... Read review

Advantages: Hours of great Rap music from a great Rap Artist!
Disadvantages: Occasional explict language

...:08 When I'm Gone (Produced by Eminem & Louis Resto) - 4:42 Stan (live with Elton John at the 2001 Grammys) - 6:20 This new album from eminem consists of 3 new songs "Shake That" which is basiclly a club type song featuring Nate Dogg. The lyrics on this track are great and the song just flows all the way through. "Fack" is a sexually explicit joke track which most parents probably wouldn't let their children listen to. Personally this track isn't all that great but has its funny moments. "When Im Gone" is a song dedicated to his daughter Hailie Jade. There's not much swearing in this one though. Lose yourself is probably one of his most well known tracks from his film 8 mile and, lets face it, the track's great - one of his best, if not the best. My Name Is, is another track that I feel is being made as a joke but does have a serious point... Read review

Advantages: wiked album. great songs
Disadvantages: none

...Eminem is arguably the greatest lyricist of our time. The English language seems to bend backwards for him, instead of the other way around. Other then his lyrics, his voice and the power behind it are superb, and the songs are just plain GOOD. He's created two perfect albums, and two other good ones-- now he has released Curtain Call, his greatest hits album. As we all know, the job of a Greatest Hits album is not to create a CD of the fan's favorites; it is to assemble all of the hit SINGLES and arrange them on one CD, sprinkled with a few new and/or unreleased songs. Curtain Call does just that. The Intro is snazzy, and the three new songs all bring something new to the table-- Fack is silly, but catchy; Shake That is good song, but feels more like a Nate Dogg song then an Eminem one; and finally, When I'm Gone shows...
