Advantages: Advanced Lyricism, Humor, Maturity, Subject Matter, Variety, Amazing Production, Guest Appearances Disadvantages: A Few Weaker Tracks, Some weaker Production at moments, older topics touched again, Skits
...Im sure everybody knows who Eminem is. Whether youve heard his singles, his albums, or watched him on the big screen, he could possibly the most famous musician in North America. He has created a medium unlike any other, where a white emcee can be hardcore, tell stories, be humorous, and be a great, if not one of the greatest, wordsmiths and lyricists ever. He has been constantly overrated and underrated. No, Eminem is not the greatest rapper of all ...

...previous three album releases, `The Eminem Show` has a much more vibrant front cover. I must just add before I move on that some people will argue that there were only two previous releases. For anyone that doesn't know, there was an album released in 1996 called `Infinite`. It was only released stateside and only sold in the region of 3750 copies so it has largely been forgotten about.
In a nutshell, the three previous covers were very bleak and ...

...a few raised eyebrows. However, Eminem (Marshall, Slim, whatever) prospered where others had failed - he told it like it was, didn't give a flying f*ck who he rubbed up the wrong way, and made himself a reputation as the most controversial figure in post-millennium rap. His constant collaboration with one Dr Dre was undoubtedly the catalyst for his success, but that said, you've gotta go some to sell as many units as Em did, and all that in a mere ...

...Dr.Dre, another famous rapper. 'The Eminem Show' is Eminem's third album, after 'The slim Shady LP', and 'The Marshall Mathers LP'. Eminem had a huge comeback earlier this year, when his single, 'Without me', rocketed in to the charts at number 1. This was closely followed by the album 'The Eminem Show', which had to be released a week earlier than planned, as it was available to download on the net.

Craggles84
Advantages: Good music, underlying messages in the lyrics, interesting inside sleeve, amazing lyrics Disadvantages: some repetitive beats in tracks, sound on two tracks isn't very original
...the form of interviews with Eminem himself in which he has promoted the album as the midway point between his previous two. With all the hype and praise following it’s release the Eminem show couldn’t wait to be added to my CD collection.
It’s initial appearance represents a departure from the murderous tones of his previous two albums portraying Eminem as a performer on stage behind a curtain. The front sleeve isn’t too appealing because of it’s ...

...fan and you don’t like Eminem there is a chance that this album may just change your mind on the Detroit rapper, his lyrics are much smarter than in his previous albums, he has calmed down and obviously spent a lot more time in the development of this album and with the help of super producer Dr Dre he has made undoubtedly his most lyrically gifted album.
If you do not like rap and hate Eminem already I do not advise you to get this album as ...

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.

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, different Disadvantages: Bad language may put some off
The Eminem Show might surprise some people, I know that it has pleasantly shocked me. Yes, he swears, he has this tough guy persona, but underneath he is just
another human being with a softer side, especially highlighted in track 14. Hailie's Song.
No matter what you think about Eminem (Marshall Mathers) he is most definitely entertaining and this album is no exception. Mainly performed in his standard hip hop style, this album has a fabulous ...

Advantages: A classic! Great tunes and lyrics Disadvantages: Could offend if you're a bit on the prudish side!
...surprised that I’m such an Eminem fan being pretty much a confirmed old Punk/Rock/Britpop chick and most rap/hiphop music leaves me totally cold but there is something different about Eminem. I love his clever and/or amusing lyrics, sometimes poignant, often realistic, and OK, to some, sometimes offensive (although often people miss the fact that a lot of it is tongue in cheek).
I own all three CDs in this trilogy but this is by far the one I play ...

...of May 2002's release, "The Eminem Show."
I got this record just a couple of days after it hit stores, thanks to a pre-order at Amazon.com. Actually, I got a CD-R copy of it - Mom bought the CD, and she graciously allowed me to copy it so that I would not "borrow" (i.e. blatantly steal) her copy. Whatever the case, this album was more than worth the seventeen dollars paid for it because none of the members of this family can stop listening to ...

Marshal Mathers, Slim Shady, Eminem or More recently Rap Boy. Whatever he's calling himself, you know who he is! He's the most famous white rapper since Vanilla Ice(God Rest his soul...What? He's not dead? Oh ok then) and he's back with a new single, but more importantly, a new album! I bought his last album fairly early on and loved it. I now have two copies because of a dodgy relationship and a early-bought Christmas Present but thats ...

Advantages: Some stunning tracks Disadvantages: Explicit/potentially offensive lyrics
...yet to come.....
And so, 'The Eminem Show'.
The cover design for the album is beautifully poignant. It depicts an empty stage, the theatre curtains parted a little and in the darkness Marshall Mathers II sits, alone and reflective. He is barely visible as the black suit he wears merges with the lonliness and emptiness of the backstage area. Only his trademark peroxide hair and the scarecest glimpse of skin identify him. A spotlight on stage ...

Anyone expecting the usual Eminem stuff is going to be very dissapointed (or very excited) as there are a lot of new sounds on this album. There is a lot more of Eminem, not nearly as many featuring artists as his earlier albums although there are tracks featuring Obie Trice, Dr Dre and Mashalls daughter Hailie Jade Mathers.
There is also a track which features him singing which is a pleasent surprise to most fans as he has often said before ...
