Advantages: Lyrics, tunes. flow
Disadvantages: May be to coarse for some

...10. I'm Back 11. Marshall Mathers 12. Ken Kaniff [skit] 13. Drug Ballad 14. Amityville 15. Bitch Please II 16. Kim 17. Under The Influence 18. Criminal Public service announcement 2000, A short skit not really that funny or clever. 4/10 Kill you, Yay for a song, with anger and venom wih his rhymes simpler than some of the others on the album but (bar the swearing) it' an easy listen with a decent medlody. Not outstanding but above average. ...
...even worth talking about. Seriouly Marshall should have stopped these before they even strted. 3/10 The way I am, Catchy, angry and bitter. Wonderful song which for one of the few times in the album shows Eminem's angry writing. It's a song thats attributed to being about the people who dislike him, see even he can hate himself. 9/10 Real slim shady, The first single off the album (I think) and still a classic, with soft gentle but yet wonderful ...

I am a very big fan of eminem, hes a lyrical genius and i cannot stop listening to this album! Its my favourite of his. It shows his angry but wity side of eminem and a more personal side.

Advantages: Good songs, very funny lyrics
Disadvantages: Very explicit lyrics in parts

...Eminem would not normally be my type of music, but after hearing "The Real Slim Shady" and liking it, I thought that I would take the plunge and buy his new album. The whole album seems to be about Eminem's struggle with life, the way he gets blamed for the things that kids do after listening to his music. If he's not going on about how the parents should be looking after their kids better then he's making fun of his mother and homosexuals. Overall the album is great, very funny in parts with some good sing along songs. However if you are easily offended, I would not buy this album!!... Read review

Advantages: The album
Disadvantages: None

...After his success last year with the brilliant Slim Shady LP he does it again with this a much better album. I think that this is the album that genuinely has everything. It leaves nothing to be wanted. It has comedy, seriousness and the unquestioned style of the first white rap artist to make an impact on the world scene. He's probably an asshole to live with but listening to this record is taking a piece of that from a safe distance and with it added to the great music and production of Dre it becomes one of the best rap albums ever, this is no exaggeration. Other than Eminem's image (which pulled through the last album) this is a superb blend of songs which if released will soon be known as classics. Songs such as 'Stan' and 'Who Knew' already have wide acclaim and last week 'The Real Slim Shady' bagged Eminem's first... Read review

Advantages: Excellent music, black humour
Disadvantages: Sweary Mary type lyrics (for family types...)

...If you don't like swearing, do not buy this album. If you don't like violent topics, do not buy this album. If you want to hear the most original, funny and inspiring albums this year so far, then DO buy this album. It's fantastic. I haven't really been into rap in recent years, but bought this due to the hype it was getting, and the fact that Top of the Pops wouldn't play "The Real Slim Shady" in the early evening. Every track has an excellent use of backing music and comedic lyrics, despite the somewhat hard-hitting topics (especially Kim), and has you humming them back later in the day, or singing them out loud, trying to skip over the swear words in front of you mum or kids :-) The pick of the tracks, in my opinion, are: Kill You, Stan, The Way I am, Marshall Mathers and Drug Ballad. Do buy this album, you won... Read review
