A new Eminem?, 2010-09-02
I really love this record. The tracks that grabbed me first are Love the Way You Lie, Won't Back Down and Talkin" 2 Myself. However it is a whole concept and a new energy is apparent in Eminem. I like lyrics so there is a lot of Bob Dylan, Em and Pete Doherty, in all his changes, in my record collection. A lot of people think it's a weird mix but the quality they share is a great and masterful use of words. They create images and pull me into their stories. I think if Em can deal with the pressure we have the prospect of more of what made Em in the first place; people empathized and felt what he did but couldn't express it. I wish him all the best.

easily mavers' best, 2010-08-22
this album is easily eminem's best, if your after a collection of eminem songs that have all been singles and that everyone has heard of, then get this, but if your after an album that aren't just full of singles i recomend 'marshall mavers lp'.

 Lighten up!!!, 2010-08-06
Unfortunately Smugheads review was unhelpful as it was wholly based on his dislike of Mr Ronson..and although im sure Ronsons throwaway pop is not every ones taste (remember his cover of Radioheads 'Just'!! deplorable)... especially for musos like Smugheads surrounded by his cackling cronies... the album itself is really not that bad and i find myself surprised to type these words...has flashes of brillance!
Wisely including cool known artistes and up and coming stars Ronson manages to lean towards the 80s synth pop without it ever feeling like a pastiche. Instead hes created a fun, danceable collection of tracks with some catchy hooks.
So i say lighten up all you Smugheads out there...hate the man but not his work.
id give the album 3 stars...the extra one is just for Q-Tip

Eminem
Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills, or his potential for raw-yet-compelling honesty, are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec-produced by long-time mentor/partner Dr Dre, "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half….I could be one of your kids/ little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden
The Eminem Pinnacle, 2009-06-22
This is undoubtedly the best of Eminem's albums - every track stands out on its own, the whole has continuity and there is none of the irritating side of Slim Shady's ludicrousness which turns many people off. What more can I say - I can simply listen to the whole thing non-stop, and if I had to list favourites, I would probably list half the tracks!
I was surpised that the Marshall Mathers LP, also a great album, has received more reviews and higher ratings (by half) than this one, when I realised that people often buy a whole album just for one single - nuff said...

Plan B
A Brit-bred Slim Shady? Another The Streets? He’ll be sold to you as both and although the Mike Skinner comparison is a lazy untruth, with his bold debut Plan B (aka Ben Drew) leaves the former trailing in terms of raw impact. This white boy tale-spinner from East London does owe an awful lot to Eminem, from the quick-spat-take-that fury of his microphone style (quasi-American accent to boot), to the bounce of his backing tracks, to taking the role of participatory narrator, devil’s advocate and instigator. But every aspect that’s been neutralised, parodied or packaged to turn Mathers into a one-man industry is exaggerated and left red-raw here, with an added vulgarity that must be sending Mary Whitehouse’s obscenity antennas cuckoo as we speak. "Tough Love" is one of the clearest reasons for the Eminem comparison, recalling in tragic detail one set of parents’ perverse sense of discipline and the ensuing death of their daughter. One thing that sets him apart though is avoiding the solely self-referential cataloguing of his own existence, instead seeing the wider world and all of its wounds from his perspective. It’s no mistake that he sounds like he’s stolen Z...
Nice one blud, 2010-02-09
Quality bit of Streets like UK hip hop.
From start to finish this ablum grips you. Plan B is a real story teller with a lot more in his locker.
Defo worth the buy if you like the Streets and want something new to grace your CD player.

Eminem
On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He is conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is", he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience", he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident from Dre's devilish past, rapping, "You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes?" Later, on "'97 Bonnie & Clyde", he turns Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" on its ear, making it a tale of murder; but on "My Fault", he actually feels bad--though whether it's for the girl he overdosed or for himself is tough to figure out. With his nasal Midwestern tone, Mathers has a clean, clear flow, and the production--by Dr. Dre, Marky, and Jeff Bass--is crisp but consistently fun. Eminem has some serious skills, and...
Still Raw as Botulism!, 2009-11-26
I picked up this disc the other day for what must be the 1000th time & STILL found something new in it! If CD's wore out, then this one should have. Long ago. Fortunately it hasn't & its contents have, as yet, failed to fade with the passage of time.
Although there are some tracks that lack power (e.g. If I Had & Role Model), most of the other tracks have amazing lyrics & such economy of language that you'll be discovering the meaning behind a word or phrase for years to come.
For instance, a friend pointed out to me that ''97 Bonnie & Clyde' was the 2nd part of Kim off The Marshall Mathers LP & suddenly 2 songs which seemed completely different (one subtle, one brutal) made sense as one piece...
There is also tracks such as Rock Bottom (about being down in the dumps), As The World Turns (a surreal day-in-the-life of Eminem) & Bad Meets Evil (Eminem as a Wild-West villain), which are the type of thing that other artists would *dream* of having on their first album. It's like watching Bruce Lee in action - all your frustrated rage finds its voice & its expression in the words &, paradoxically, you feel chilled out by something that should stress you out!
Anyways, I suppose what I'm saying is that this record hasn't aged. I look at 'OK Computer' & 'Blur'-Blur (from the same time) & they don't really compare; this record is densely & fully packed with Eminem at his brightest & sharpest before he went ad nauseam on 'The Marshall Mathers LP'.
Although fame didn't ruin Eminem, it certainly did distort his playful wit & it's a truly excellent thing that this CD is there (like Definitely Maybe or Experience) to remind us all of what good music REALLY is - raw, passionate (in the true sense) & powerful, in a way that the 'Jedward's' of this World couldn't possibly fathom...

Saw this CD advertised on TV. I think it's brilliant and I love it. It's one of those CD's that I don't skip tracks as all of them are great.
