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. 6/10

Stan, The song of the album, with a sample of Dido being used as the hook, with a story of an almost stalker like fan. Probably the stand out for lyric as well as overall brillance. 10/10

Paul (skit), Slightly better than the previous skit, but still nothing special. 5/10

Who knew, Class song, this is what we want, we don't want pointless skits, we want lyrical brilliance like this. He rhymes about how people seem to take his music too seriously, and yet also sound fresh and wonderful. 9/10

Steve Berman (skit), Not 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 rhyme's over a beat that's there but you won't be listening to it. A catchy as hell hook that'll have you singing it in your head and tapping your shoes to it. Fun to listen to. 10/10

Remember me, A song that seems to flow into the following song seemlessly. Another angry sounding one with a cameo from Dr. Dre. Seems like he's talking to you, but should be a comeback song, not a middle of an album song. 8/10

I'm back, See seemlessl coming into each other. A more fun song than most of the album, with esily rememberable lyrics an a great tune. 8/10

Marshall Mathers, A softer sadder start than most of the other. A song about Em' and his life though how much creative liscence he's been allowed to use is argueable. Fit's the album well, but not much else to say about it. 7/10

Ken Kaniff (skit)... Yay a skit about a guy getting head, yippee...Total filler, and should only be used to fill a toilet. 1/10

Drug Balled, A great song, wonderful lyrics and fun to liten to with a wide variation of images and tunes, overall one of the best songs to listen to and the start of the best part of the album. 9/10

Amityville, Angry but yet fun with amazing lines of poetic genius. Why didn't we get this sort of thing right through the album? One of the best song's on the album. 9/10

Bitch Please II, Listen to it, be amazed. With Dre, Snoop, Nate Dogg and Xzibit all in on this beauty of a rap song. Fun to listen to even if it does seem sexist, you know their's no malice in the song. Not really anything I can say to covey just how great this song is.10/10

Kim, A bit of a sick and saddistic song about His Ex wife, and the mother of his daughter. You can relly feel the anger from his voice, and the lyrics are of an above average standard, but kess than Em's high ones. 7/10

Under the influence, Why, why, why write such a song? Although not terrible it is somewhat distasteful and yet some how incredibly ddictive to listen to. D12 at their absolute best. 9/10

Criminal, Another odd but yet brilliant song, showing signs of anger again, but unlike Kim, the anger goes to sitting in an awsome lyrical composition. Brilliant end to such an album. 8/10

I find Marshall Mathers extremely boring and his multi-millionaire's anger laughable but hey...whatever gets you through the night!
