Amazon.co.uk Review
His second album finds Eminem struggling to contain the pressures of success. And he's dealing it with it disgracefully. The Detroit rapper's multiple identities are more mixed up than ever, with Marshall Mathers fighting for prominence against his alter egos: Eminem, Slim Shady, Kenneth Kaniff and his public image. Don't be fooled by the album title: apart from the eponymous "Marshall Mathers" (which runs the lyrical gamut from maudlin to maniacal) you won't learn too much about "the real Slim Shady" here. As fiction bleeds into reality, Eminem aggravates the wound to increase the flow. The Dr Dre/Mel-Man productions on this record don't have the slap-happy bounce of those from the Slim Shady LP; all drums and bass, they're ghostly, minimised slabs of roto-funk. Except, of course for the gleefully self-referential single "The Real Slim Shady", for which Dre appropriately cuts in some of the picked-guitar from his own "Forgot About Dre". Eminem's own co-productions with F.B.T. veer from the bounce to the ounce of "Drug Ballad" to the full-metal jacket of "Kim", where you get to find out all the gruesome details of how Eminem's paramour ended up in the back of that trunk (from Slim Shady's "'97 Bonnie and Clyde"). And believe me, it ain't pretty. If anything there's a lesson to be learnt here: money, success, drugs, murderous intent, mental trauma and schizophrenia are all just as American as apple pie. --Chris Campion

Customer Reviews

A great album
This is a good album. The lyrics are, not just explicit, they are great. All my friends were going on about this album for ages sayiing it was excellent- so I had to see for myself. And you know what? They were right. It is a great album.
My favourite song is Kim, it's funny and pretty catchy. The most catchy one is Criminal- it just sticks around your head. I find myself singing the lyrics everywhere. I'd say this was one of Eminem's best.
Though great, this album doesn't quite reach 5 stars (but it's very close!). I'd say, get this album- it's worth it!

Eminem Fans buy this album!!!!
This album is great, some of the songs are a bit to mainstream for me (real slim shady) but the darker songs like the way i am and especially kim are my favourites. If you've only listened to a few of eminems songs and not decided whether you wanna buy an album stop thinking about it and buy this one!!! You wont regret it.

big balls
this album is pretty damn cool ... personally i think the fisrt one is better cos its not so serious but this is just as good and the rhymes are equally as wicked!!!
