Product description EMINEM - MARSHALL MATHERS LP CD 18 TRACKS (61427) desertcart.co.uk 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 Review: Amazing album - An amazing artist from the beginning .

NOTE: Different cover and not new
I mean, it's the Marshall Mathers LP. I don't think I need to leave an actual 'product review' per se, but I should point out a couple of things about the copy that arrived at my door. Firstly, it didn't have the pictured cover, it had the other one with Em huddled under a doorway. I personally wasn't bothered but someone might be. Secondly, it was very evidently resealed. There were scuffs on the CD case in places where the shrinkwrap was completely unharmed, and there was a fingerprint on the top of the disc and some dirt on the bottom. I'm not sure if the album is currently in print (this catalog number and disc details date back to 2000, but then so do all the others), but if there are new/new-old-stock copies floating around, they're not here. I should stress these are not complaints and I would classify the condition itself as mint (but then, it's hardly a collector's item in the first place). This whole thing is an FYI.

The debate continues, but I reckon song-for-song this is his best
Everyone has their favourite Eminem album. For some it was the startling debut of the Slim Shady Album, for younger fans his more recent work. Now that he seems to have retired from performing and is sticking to producing (the odd slip aside - even Eric Clapton will never REALLY retire), it's interesting to look back on his output and, for me, this is the clear winner. There is, of course Stan and The Real Slim Shady and The Way I Am, all copper-bottomed hits. Kim is as painful to listen to now as it was when he recorded it. Since then he married her again...and divorced her again. Not since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton was there so much pain in a celebrity pairing. The best one for me, though, doesn't appear on all versions of this album - but seek out the Special Edition with its bonus track The Kids, Marshall's tribute to his love of South Park. It is the funniest thing he has ever done, and dare I say the best? I saw the man himself when he played Milton Keynes - his last perfomances in Britain, as it turns out - and the songs from this album excited the fans most. It's easy to see why.
