The Slim Shady album is one of the best albums I have heard. Eminem's second album (after his debut one, Infinite) is excellent. With 20 tracks, there is a track to listen to for every type of mood that you are in! His talent is just so apparent. The special edition version has 3 extra songs on another c-d (2 freestyles) and a c-d rom element. I bought the Slim Shady lp after his most recent one, Marshall Mathers and so my expectations were high because I loved the Marshall Mathers lp. I was so impressed, it was not a let down. I can't stop listening to it, it is permanantely in my c-d player! My favourite tracks are Just Don't Give A F**k, Still Don't Give A F**k, Rock Bottom and As The World Turns. The lyrics on every track are amazing as is the production. The lyrics are so clever, and some reflect his past. Slim said that he's not going to fabricate his past, and he definetely hasn't. One track, Brain Damage is about a child who used to get beaten up and no one used to help him. The child he is talking about is himself, as he was beaten up a lot when he was younger and was once even put into a coma. So people can relate to what he's saying in his songs. As well as having a great number of tracks, there is a brilliant c-d rom element on the special edition cd with a gallery,a talk from Slim, video's, live performance of Role Model and more. I was very impressed with this as cd-rom elements don't usually have this much on them. Rock Bottom is a moving song about things going wrong, but it's a breath of fresh air to hear Eminem actually talking about things that matter.He expresses himself very well and talks about reality. Every track has some meaning. Some people may be disturbed by tracks such as 97 Bonnie and Clyde about Slim killing his wife Kim and dumping her body in the sea with the help of his daughter Hailie. However, this song is just about how he was feeling at the time because Kim was trying to keep Hailie from him with restraining orders so obviously he would be annoyed. I thoroughly recommend this album for Eminem fans. Even if you just like a couple of his tracks buy it and check it out and you too will be amazed. Mr.Mathers has so much talent!

Slim Shady has got a severe attitude problem. I dont mind his songs and i think he can be pretty funny but some of teh stuff he says and does is ruining society. What happens if all the kids think eninem is serious when he raps about drugs n stuff.
I hope he can just grow up and use his talent more wisely.
