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 ...

Advantages: greatest hits with 3 new tracks and a live tune Disadvantages: none
After all his albums the time has come for Marshall to compile his greatest hits onto one cd. He has also managed three new songs - number 2; Fack. A very funny song about sex including putting a gerbil up his arse! (only em could get away with this). It also features the South Park voice in the chorus in the background which is very funny.
His second new song, number 7 on the album Shake That, with Nate Dogg who he has combined with on a couple ... ...Very good beat to this song. Nate contributes to about 40% of the lyrical content.
The third new song When I'm Gone was released as a single, this is about his relationship with Hayley and mostly Kim and indicates how his family have taken a back seat due to his rapping career and how he wants to spend more time with them. This is a great song that parents could relate to if they don't see their kids as much as they want to/should do.

Advantages: great music from a great artist Disadvantages: not good to listen to with kids around
I have been amazed by Eminem since he brought out his first album "The Slim Shady LP" in 2000. Rap music is not usually my thing, but I really enjoy listening to Eminem. With his great beats, brilliant lyrics and astounding talent Eminem quickly gained himself many fans. Eminem clearly stands out from all other rap artists.
This album, very apropriately titled "Curtain Call" is to be the last as Eminem has decided to now give other areas of his ... ...who hope he will change his mind and be back one day with more of his groundbreaking music that we all love so much.

Advantages: it has variations of different backgrounds of music Disadvantages: its the same old boring lyrics
Eminem is a rapper who was brought up in detroit and he apparently had a terrible life as a child/teenager. That is probably why his lyrics are all about his mum and family and how he is going to shoot everyone.
This album is all his hits that were famous but if i were u i would just buy the hits with other CDs because the album is all the songs where he is depressed with kim ( his wife) or his daughter (hailey). I wouldnt recommend this album because ... ...i will compare two songs now:
When im gone is a new song on his hits cd but he is mad at his girlfriend and daughter.
And on cleaning out my closet he is mad at his mum.
He really makes me depressed.
It has got a few godd points like the rythm and the variations of backing music is excellent.
Personally i really like Eminem but if all his albums were like this one i wouldnt do.
Thank you for reading my review Pointyears! ...

Advantages: All the classics and some new additions Disadvantages: This is his last album!!
Since his debut single "real slim shady" released in 2000, we have all come to love Marshal Mathers (eminem). And its understandable, the lyrics and beats he produces enspires us teenagers, even if he is using bad or offensive language. So here it is, the final chapter of eminem and something a die hard fan should own. All of the tunes that make you laugh and think about life from the past, and some new additions such as "When i'm gone". I'm not ... ...best songs lyrically. All the tunes have the best sound quality available, not 1 bad sounding song on there.
Even though i have plenty of eminem albums, the greatest hits was a must for me. Brilliant title for a closing album in my opinion. I can assure that you will not be disappointed with this album. Young or old, eminem can speak to us through his lyrics. Brilliant!!
my personal favourites on the album include:
3) The way i am - A sure fire ...

Advantages: Its a good mix of great songs. Disadvantages: None
This album is excellent and i have not stopped listening to it since the day i bought it.
It has a range of different types of songs from upbeat raps like "Shake That" to songs with more meaning like "When Im Gone".
It also contains some old favourites such as "The Real Slim Shady".
The only downside is that the album is not suitable for children as there is a lot of swearing and references to sex, drugs and alcohol (but its kind of what you expect ...

Advantages: lots of good songs Disadvantages: most have been heard before
this Cd is great for any eminem fans , it has all his greatest hits and a couple of new ones. Eminem is a legend and if you like his music then you should purchase this item. Like toy soldiers is a great track that you can listen to over and over again.
Eminem is a original rapper from detroit and is in the group D12. All of the tracks are very good and you can listen to over and over again. Eminem produced most of the songs himself but some are ... ...the producer of the infamous band NWA. When you got some on like him teaching you to produce you cant go wrong and eminem has definatly not gone wrong through his career and this is supposedly his last album that he will ever make, but no other artist has ever said that and made another! ...
