| Summary: Eminem is back with a different, but outstanding album. |
1 of 7 thought this review was well written
This is not the Marshall Mathers LP. This is nothing like anything Em's done before, you should know that going in. Considering his best friend died, he went to rehab, and it's been 4 years since his last release, did you really think this tape would be normal? Every track features something to witness. Eminem's lyrical prowess is not only top notch, but entertaining from start to finish. From crazy tracks like "3am" and "Insane" to the more serious insightful tracks such as "Deja Vu" and "Beautiful", each song has something to say. Dr. Dre's production is great as always. Eminem fans will love this tape, the first time listening to this album might be a little surprising, but give it another chance, I've talked to many people who didn't like it at first, then after a few more listens can't stop listening to it. One thing that might scare some people off is the fact he doesn't rap in his normal voice in every song, but that doesn't affect the lyrics, just the way they sound. Eminem is one of the most gifted lyricists on the earth, even though the subject matter has changed for this album, the quality hasn't.
