"Eminem - The Eminem Show."

Bought this album today, only had chance to listen through it once so far, and it's.... different.

Different from the first two albums, definately. The single, "Without Me", is definately the most commercial track on the album.

A couple of the tracks wouln't have sounded out of place on The Marshall Mathers LP, with him being dark and having a rant. A couple of tracks made me laugh in places, but it's not as funny as The Slim Shady LP.

It needs another listen, I think, but then all the best stuff does take a couple of listens to get into. Should be a definate buy for Eminem fans, but if you've only heard "Without Me", I'd recommend you listen to some other tracks before buying the album, as you may be a bit surprised with some of the other tracks...

is how france played yesterday

merde

This album is just as bubblegum as the last one, i got the album with the dvd(region 2) and gave it a couple of listens and then swapped it with my neighbour, the sslp was definately his best album(from a hip-hop headz perspective) but i guess you pop kids lapped up the last one and you'll probably do the same this time round(no disrespect intended)....

Yeah, I do like Stan. I hate the Dido song on its own but it goes well in Stan.

I can't take this song. I absolutely despise it. It's just sick. I'm gonna cut your throat! Oooooh, how nice of you to share that with us.

Got this on order from CD-WOW, along with Gatecrasher: Digital Trance and a DVD.

Can't wait...

I like Eminem - can't help but think his whole act is very tongue-in-cheek, and some of the songs are very funny.

"My bum is on your lips
My bum is on your lips
And if I'm lucky you might just give it a little kiss."

That video is hilarious, with him running down the street in a brightly coloured super-hero outfit with that fake butt strapped on the outside, when sitting on the guys face and rubbing it around. So damn funny.

I agree the language is foul, but it suits the songs completely. "Stan" is just a masterpiece of music and the lyrics are fantastic and well thought out - if disturbing.

"Kim" is another great track, second only to "Stan" on the MMLP album in my view.

It's a shame that many people just hear the swearing and violent lyrics and automatically condemn him and the music. Sure, he goes for shock value and outrageous antics, but it's a refreshing change from the various clean-cut pop idols around.

The Kenny Kannif (however you spell it) skits in his first album were great. He coined the phrase "*cough* boy" and "automated piece of *cough*"

*note, coughs have been used to protect the innocent

I agree there. The skits in the MM LP were pointless, and I'd never BUY it, because of that. The skits was just him involved with talking to someone for half a minute or so. I can't think of one MnM skit that was worth listening to...

And Ice T rules ;D

I've never seen/heard Eminem ever acting like he was black. He's white, he knows he's white and he DOESN'T act black. That's the joke, because people like Vanilla Ice etc DID try to be something they're not

I like his videos, they make me laugh, but the music is absolute crap and he's about the biggest retard. He thinks he's black. Part of the joke, my ars. Gimp.

Yeah, and Muse are crap too :-)

Did any of you get a DVD with it?

I think it's only region 1 so you probably don't get it over here, but since Play import their CDs from the US, you get it when you order from them.

10.99 for the album and the DVD which includes:

Dunno if you care. I certainly don't as I'm not a fan of Eminem. Got the Marshall Mathers LP on pirate and the only song I really liked was Stan. A few other alright ones but I'm just not a fan of rap.

I got the new Oasis album off my mate today actually. Now that is music! Poor quality since it was all downloaded off the net but it was still really good. Little By Little and some other one that I can't remember the name of are the best ones.

And I want the new Muse album now! And the DVD!
