Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eminem's fourth major-label album is a polarizing mix of political commentary and absurdist, often vulgar humor. While tracks like 'Mosh' targeted the Bush administration, much of the record was criticized for its slapstick delivery and erratic tone. It remains a commercial powerhouse from the peak of his fame.
