I am a big fan of the Slim Shady LP and the Marshall Mathers LP and bought this would right away. It took me a few spins to get to know the album and I must say I really enjoy it. Good production values. Probably a little less edgey, overall, when compared to the two previous albums. Worth a few listens if you are an Eminem fan (ie, listen more than once so you really get a feel for the album).
