    Dark, funny and also conscious at the same time. One of the best albums I've ever heard.

    This is what got Eminem into the GOAT convo, very early into his career. His favourite, although I like TES more.

    Classic Eminem shows that anything is possible to happen in life. This album is simply capturing a moment that you can use rightly only a few times in your life, Em showed the world that he can do it. Impressive

    One of my favorite album of all time! A classic! Fun, politically incorrect, genuine, and already lyrically amazing!

    This has to be one of my favorite Hip-Hop albums I own. Of all the rap I've listened to, I feel like this is Eminem in his prime. The aggression and flow sync perfectly together to create one of the greatest albums I've heard. As someone who usually only picks a single here or there from an artists album, this has to be one of the first and few albums where I was able to maintain interestThis has to be one of my favorite Hip-Hop albums I own.

    This LP is word manipulation at it's finest, and while it's rather violent at times, the wordplay is outstanding and mostly unmatched to this day.    … Expand

    Incredible album, one of the best if not the best from the GOAT. The bars, lyrical skills and word play is out of this world

    My favourite album of all time. The controversy this album gave is what we need today in a snow flake society, people would have a melt down if this dropped on 2020. Eminem Show is a close 2nd

    Arguably the greatest rap album of all time. Every single verse from Eminem was atleast very good and none of the songs were below the very high standards of this lyrical masterpiece of an album.

    The collaborative efforts of tracks like "Bitch Please II" and "Under the Influence" make Eminem seem like an ornamental prop in Dr. Dre's ever-growing hip-hop dynasty.

    The problem is, as the album drags on, young Master Mathers wastes his considerable wit and opts to grouse in the guise of a rampaging reactionary. Song after song finds Eminem viciously baiting real and imagined enemies, as if that's all he knows how to do.

    It just isn't as much fun this time around, no matter how fresh Dre's beats are or how many worthy targets get shot down along with the innocent.
