2. White America
Anger in Eminem's voice when yelling "White America" is similar to that of "I Am What I Am". Fairly controversial with lyrics such as "If I was black I would have sold half" [an argument Michael Jackson put forward for poor sales of his Invincible album lol], with Eminem fighting back against apparent criticism he's had from the government. But other content is similar to that of previous albums, of how parents are shocked at what he says etc... At the end he goes on to give a big "f*** u" to Miss Cheney and Tipper Gore. I see another lawsuit coming maybe...

4. Cleanin Out My Closet
Currently dominating the airwaves in the UK, this will shortly be his second smash hit from the album. From the introduction you can tell that this has been well produced. Following the numerous references to his allegedly dope-smoking mother in previous releases resulting in a $10m lawsuit, the lyrics include hatred this time focussed at his father, plus his troubled relationship avec Kim.

6. The Kiss (skit)
Ooh, black people repeatedly saying "I'm gonna kill the b*tch". Stuff like that doesn't really help all the stereotyping and prejudice.

8. Say Goodbye Hollywood
The chorus is smooth and similar to the previous track's. I think the verses are mediocre and nothing different from the norm, however in terms of lyrical content and rapping.

10. Without Me
At a club, whenever this track comes on it's the only one that *everyone* knows the lyrics in their entirity to, partly due to it being excessively overplayed on the radio and partly as it's very catchy. When first played I thought it was quite mediocre [but undoubtedly would be a #1 hit as it's pretty commercial], but it's one that grows on you, with memorable [synthesised?] saxophone etc...

12. Sing For The Moment
A good backing track in a darker more serious track. The trademark catchy Eminem chorus is replaced with a rock sample. Eminem gives his life story in the 3rd person, of going from experiencing depression in a broken home to experiencing depression with his multimillionaire lifestyle. But it's focussed on how it's a good thing for kids to have hope and dreams. An uncharacteristic rock guitar solo at the end.

14. Hailie's Song
Who on earth is singing, I hear you cry. This is Eminem's first proper singing on a track. And it's damn impressive. Well until he goes back to his usual voice. The verses open in a soft sensitive boyband-style voice. Despite Eminem saying at the start and end of the track that he can't sing, he can. But why's he singing for once? Because he's happy, he says, as he got custody of his child back. Very emotional lyrics: "I love my daughter more than life in itself, But I've gotta wife whos determined to make my life living hell". He very successfully makes himself look like the good guy. But could be considered as quite soppy compared to Eminem's usual works.

16. When The Music Stops
D12 take over again to sing about murdering and stuff... Track 17 is nothing special thus is not worth reviewing either.

19. My Dad's Gone Crazy
Get to hear Hailie for the first time - sounds quite funny in the introduction. The "I fink my dads gone cwaazy" sample is comical but can get ever so slightly irritating on it's 20th repetition. The lyrics have a twist this time, thank God - instead of the standard non-stop rapping there's touches like "My Mum said *imitating babbling*" and silence after the proverb "If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all"...
