This was not the first eminem album I bought, so I was familiar with his controversial lyrics and overall style, but I was still shocked at how good this album really is. I already owned all of his mainstream albums including the eminem show, encore and more. Since this album wasn't very famous I didn't expect much, and I only knew the track My Name Is, but I was happily surprised when I bought the CD. This album is very different to his new stuff: The lyrics are much more original and thought through. The music is also much more rap than the new albums, which in my opinion are close to pop with talking instead of singing. Anyone who is a fan of eminem should definately buy this CD, and others who want something different should do the same. Warning: This album contains very offensive lyrics, and that parental advisory sticker is there for a reason.
