A little respect Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
real_rob_writer
Advantages: Talented Disadvantages: Not my fave anymore
It’s funny how our musical interests change over time. Nine months ago I was Eminem’s biggest fan. I have all his albums and have listened to them for rather a long time, and at the time I thought they were great. I still have to say that 'Stan' is a modern classic and a lot of his songs are good. But for some reason I just don't like them anymore. Now on one hand this is quite a normal occurrence, you go off an album that you've listened to for weeks, ...

Advantages: Long album (thereby giving value for money)hilarious lyrics Disadvantages: A bit samey in places
This is a fantastic album! I don't like Eminem's points of view on lots of things and would probably hate him if I met him, but there's no denying that he can cut it. Confounding the critics by proving that white men can rap, this album is a tour de force, showing off his , let's say "twisted" sense of humour. Especially outstanding tracks are "Stan" (even people who don't like Eminem's music at all like it) which samples the music from the end of ...

Advantages: Some visceral entertainment for those who can look past the foul-mouthed posturing and hot-potato subject matter. Disadvantages: Might prove just too controversial and offensive for many.
...I can heap upon The Marshall Mathers LP is that it has a similar kind of twisted humour and incisive social commentary.
Stan is obviously my standout moment on the CD, a vivid and cleverly staged song about fandom which doesn't need to be a true story to achieve its desired impact.
The rhymes are a lot better than the average guff that passes for most mainstream rap, but more than that they are as wickedly funny as they are knowingly outrageous ...

I purchased the very contaversial album, released by Eminem, aka. Slim Shady, in The U.S.A. earlier this year before it was released in the U.K. The album despite its many bad critics, absolutly kicks!! It is one of the best albums I have ever bought! The whole album is full of top quality muisic enertainment!!! Every song/track is enjoyable, and worth listening to. (In my eytes, this album is a MUST BUY. Dont listen to what other bad critics say, ...

Advantages: Quite good Disadvantages: But not by Eminem's standards
This, his second mainstream album release, was bound to be a success. After the how successful his first album (The Slim Shady LP), My Name is and The Real Slim Shady, his latest album was bound to be a success. His rise to fame has been very quick but people all around the world love him, and his new style of rap.
I bought his first album and listened to for a good six months before I started to go off it. This album, praised by many, in my eyes ...

The real Slim shady? Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
Sandoo5
Advantages: the lyrics have meaning Disadvantages: very much the same as other rap music
This i a genuinely good album but Rap music is very difficult to vary, however Emimem has a new line of chorus that make the songs easy to listen to.
Not meaning to sound Cliche but he tells the story without been forced to sugar coat it at all. The lyrics are from the heart and genuine and the entire album is much more serious than the last one.
Emimem is also a rapper that raps about stuff that actually has happened to him e.g. how he dresses ...

Advantages: Every track excellent, funny skits, bonus tracks, PC stuff Disadvantages: ?
...look to this guys album, Marshall Mathers lp, and you can see exactly why. He has produced his second album of 14 tracks, well, including the couple of humorous skits in between songs. He took rapping to a new level with Stan, and showed to me for one, that in songs such as The Way I Am and Amnityville, that he can perform to a serious level.
Although widely known for his comedy stylings, which he managed to slot into Marshall Mathers with Kids, ...

BUY THIS NOW!!!!!!! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
TallPaul73
Advantages: Lots of varied, quality tracks Disadvantages: None really
Without doubt the one of the best rap albums I have ever heard (Slim Shady LP is marginally better). This man has a talent that sets him apart from the rest. His lyrics are clever, humerous (& include a lot of bad language!!) and he doesn't take himself too seriously. The mix of different types of rap are spot on. There are a few dodgy tracks, but with 18 on the album there are bound to be a couple. But having said that, there are a few that are out ...

Advantages: What can i say, its wicked! Disadvantages: Explicit lyrics
Eminem covers some majorley controversial topics in this album, well in every track he writes. That's him. He raps about the unspoken- topics that people never discuss. He may not believe it all but what he raps about is true, he tells it like it is. That's why i like him. Not only is he gorgeous, but he's bloody good at what he does.
He has an amazing ability to take the most insane incident and create it into an unforgetable track that has a huge ...

Good and bad Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
Waz
Advantages: Disadvantages:
This is an excelent album for any one who loves rapping but the not so good thing is the bad language this is DEFINATLY not an album for children. Some of the songs are very good and some are not so good. In my opinion this is a very good album but it could do with a bit of work on some of the lyrics and some of the backing music isnt to good either. So all in all this album could be better and i think anyone who loves eminem would be dissapointed ...

yes and no Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
emoss
Advantages: lots of tracks good rap Disadvantages: not good for kids and is rude
This album is great for all the lovers of rappers but to tell you the truth it has REAL bad language and is defiantly NOT for kids. This album has some great rap and he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks!!! If you like him get it, if your kids like him don’t get it. Includes the real slim shady and it isn’t short of tracks with 18 songs!! For me I like it but then I don’t….. It is quite rude and disgusting and has about swearing in every track be ...

Advantages: talented rap writer Disadvantages: offends those who don't like swearing
Can people not see that Eminem’s lyrics have a hidden message, even though they are offensive they reveal allot about himself, I watched a documentary about his life and through it, you could understand his reasons for why he hates those who have made his upbringing hell. Here we have a genius of a writer, he’s gifted and those who dismiss him because of the language he uses he would say who gives a sh*8. For the first time he is doing ...

Opinions on life Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
terrylander
Advantages: uncensored, songs that relate to us Disadvantages: speech (e.g. Public service announcement - track 1!!)
Eminem speaks for the nation. The nation of teenagers, that is. Let's face it, less and less teenagers are giving a .... these days, and the same can be said for Slim Shady. For once we can put on an album and listen to exactly what we want to hear, as opposed to turning the radio on and hearing Th...Wri...Ye...Po... from the censoring of radio. If you want to hear Eminem's opinion in full, buy the album. You'll find that even if youre not keen on ...
