Brilliant rapper in his hey-day, which culminated with this album.. The only missteps for me are those featuring D-12. This WAS my favorite hip-hop album until kanye's "twisted fantasy" arrived a couple years ago. 2000 was a fine year.

Nope... still sound dated to me.

Too violent for me. I might have had it on my chart in the past though. The albums before and after are good as well.

Only good things about this album are its singles (they are great) but that's always necessarily a bad sign.

Eminem? Hmmm. What about him? His albums aren't exactly spectacular, pretty catchy at times, and overall just good. I prefer the slim shady LP.

Stan, is really really great.

The rest's okay.

The last good Eminem album.

If it wasn't for Lose Yourself, it would be the last good thing he ever did.

Good, but I feel Infinite is his best album!

I really enjoy it. I'm not as crazy about it as I used to be, but it's very good. Some think it's overblown and unnecessarily vulgar, but I really like the way he sets it up as a retaliation against the critics who thought his first album was too vulgar. There are certainly some forgettable songs here ("Under the Influence"? What the hell is that doing on here?), but the high points more than make up for it. I don't know about y'all, but I get shivers every time I listen to the last verse of "Amityville". "Real Slim Shady", "Kill You", "Drug Ballad", "I'm Back", and "Criminal" are all very good, too. Above all, I love how this album is almost entirely a game of trying to figure out how serious he is about everything, leading to countless possible interpretations of the album as a whole. Very solid.

This is one of the most inconsistent modern classics, if not the most inconsistent. That being said, the lows aren't terribly low, and the highs are incredibly high. Solid enough, even if it isn't best as an album.

Track picks
3 Stan
8. The Real Sliim Shady
10. I'm Back
16, Kim

Damn, I probably need to listen to Kim with the lyrics, it seems interesting 🤔

A few good songs, and a lot of forgettable ones. Kim is kinda awesome, though (partly because it freaks me out a bit), one of the most memorable ones. 😄

He is mad skilled no doubt. But I don't know, I'm not in to the themes like Puncture repair said. And yeah "Kim" is just fucked up... Like not in a good way. It actually made me sick when I first heard it.

But yeah, there are some classic tracks here. "The Real Slim Shady" and "The Way I Am" , "Stan" and "Kill You" are all great.

I think the Eninem Show is better.
