I think this album is brilliant, totally compelling to listen to, how many artists in any genre of music can make a 3rd album that doesnt sound anything like the 1st two, I brought this album really after just hearing one of Eminems songs on MTV and thought ive gotto buy it, it deserves all the praise and awards it has had, in all of his albums there is total orginality that no-one can match in hip-hop, I hope he goes on forever. I wonder what other people think about this or maybe im just bein a little biased as Eminem is my favourite artist, what do people think of his performance in 8-mile, geniually good or like me think hes great even if he was doing a commercial for washing powder.
