Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Only Stan is not bad 🤷🏻♂️
La energía con la que Eminem impregna a cada verso, así como el estilo satírico y por momentos personal y desgarrador de las letras, hacen de "The Marshall Matjers LP" un gran álbum de Hip-Hop.
English review:
The energy with which Eminem imbues each verse, as well as the satirical and at times personal and heartbreaking style of the lyrics, make "The Marshall Matjers LP" a great Hip-Hop album.
Its really one of the most emblematic albums in the history of all popular music, and while the lyrics are wrong, I appreciate the passion behind the words more than their actual content. The main issue is not the lyrics, but the production. It definitely raw and minimalistic, but in a way that seem low effort compared to the raw, minimalistic but creative production of Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers.

ditch the skits, trim off about 15-20 mins and there's a great album in there
I've got quite a high tolerance for vulgarity, but parts of this album were tough to listen to. Especially Kim which is just a horrible song all around that I found difficult to listen to. This dude has a big chip on his shoulder. Having said that, Stan is an incredible song - one of the best rap songs ever with a great story and some really clever rhymes. I also like Real Slim Shady, Bitch Please and Drug Ballad. Usually skits in rap albums are pointless but these are actually quite entertaining. But overall - massively overrated. Many highs but just as many lows.
The album does have some great tracks that explore very important themes and are very intelligent. It also flows exceptionally well and some of the wordplay and lyric delivery is brilliant. However, there is a huge problem with this album and that is the uneducated comments and themes about certain topics. While the hate that is portrayed may not represent the artists actual views, it is made out to be a humorous topic or something to be taken lightly which it isn't. Eminem is also very influential and lyrics like this will definitely influence some people into thinking comments like this are okay and so the argument that the lyrics are just for shock factor doesn't run with me. Furthermore, I think the album is way too bloated and has too many filler tracks and not enough big hitters. The skits are pretty pointless in my opinion as well. Overall, the album has its moments where it is outstanding but the problems outweigh these moments for me.

Really don't care for Eminem in general, but this album is great.
I feel so guilty when I listen to this album, and I'm so conflicted on how to rate it. If I didn't speak the English language, I think I'd really enjoy it. But the consistent themes of sexual violence, homophobia, and generally being anti everything simply for shock factor is impossible to overlook. Eminem references multiple times (particularly on Who Knew and Criminal) how it's the listener's own fault if they interpret his lyrics as being reflected of his personality, but then sandwiches it between homophobic slurs and threats of r*pe. It's one thing to separate the art from the artist, which I find I can generally do, but when the art itself is as unapologetically wrongful as The Marshall Mathers LP, the art & the artist become fused together and it cannot be ignored. So, on flow, energy & passion: 8/10. On content: 2/10.
An important album for hip hop, and what made Eminem the biggest star of the century.
gets a lot of hate, but it's really good.
