As a Slim Shady "virgin", I bought this album on the strength of "The Real Slim Shady" and the reviews the album has received. The whole album is absolutely brilliant, but not for the faint hearted! Tracks such as "Kim", during which Slim Shady throttles his wife, "Stan" a moving, at the same time sickening, account of a fan's fatal obsession with Eminem are very powerful and well written.
Other tracks such as "Kill you" are less serious, just as aggressive. The album is addictive, funny, serious and violent all at once, making fantastic listening. Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers/Eminem is one talented bloke.
