I have said in some previous reviews that I have what could be considered a strange taste in music. I listen to so many different genres and this is one of the artists that I (secretly) love. I'm not a huge fan of rap and hip hop and only really listen to mainstream artists such as Tupac, Eminem, The Game etc. Eminem is a whole world away from a lot of the music that I listen to, which is why it's a nice change for me to review a different kind of music! If you are offended by foul language then this review will most probably be of no use to you at all, I would just advise you not to listen to this album! For me, it doesn't really bother me because I think that it's all just part of the whole hip hop genre, but that's a whole different review! Anyway!

There are way too many songs for me to review track by track so I'm just going to go through the best ones. There are also a few skits in there too which I don't really listen to, I find them a bit boring if I'm honest!
[Stan] This is probably one of the most well known tracks by Eminem, it's not the best but it's pretty well written and quite popular with other people too. I think that the lyrics and the story behind this song can make Eminem come across a bit conceited- he tells a story about an obsessive fan called Stan who trys in vain to contact Eminem. When he doesn't get a reply he kills himself and his girlfriend by driving off a bridge (lovely I know). When Eminem finally gets around to replying he realises that he's too late to save Stan. I don't really like the story, I think it's pretty harsh and it's a strange thing to put yourself in, but the music to the song is good and most of the lyrics are good.
[The Way I Am] I like this track. It's the first Eminem song that I really got into. Again, it's full of swearing, agression, violence, you name it. It's well written and perfromed though so that's what makes it sucessful. I think that this is the best track on the album but it all depends on what you like and how much swearing you can tolerate without wanting to switch off!
[The Real Slim Shady] This is probably the least serious song on the entire album, again he comes across as really quite cocky but I think that's all part of the Slim Shady persona. Some of the lyrics in this track are actually pretty funny, its a pretty daring song in some parts.
There are a few other good tracks on here, but then again there are some that I just cant listen too. I find some too violent, some too agressive and some just gross. But again, it all depends what you like really. I would recommend this album because it's one of the best from Eminem but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for younger listeners. There's way too much swearing and other things. It's a good hip hop album though.
