Listened to this last night for the first time since it came out. It really is a horrible album. Yellow Brick Road and Like Toy soldiers are cool, Mosh is mediocre. The rest of the album is straight trash. It's not just bad relative to the rest of Eminem's stuff either as some have said. It's awful by absolute standards. This album really has some of the worst songs of all time on it. That run from track 7 to track 14 is just ridiculous:
7. "Puke"
8. "My 1st Single"
9. "Paul (skit)"
10. "Rain Man"
11. "Big Weenie"
12. "Em Calls Paul
13.
Just Lose It
14. "
Ass Like That"
I've never listened to so many WOAT contender songs in succession in my life. That's just unreal.
Terrible production, juvenile humor, horrible vocals. Just all around embarrassing. It's a 0.5 mic album IMO. This is waaaay worse than Nastradamous, Universal Mind Control, Kingdom Come and all the other dud albums by the great rappers. I'm not an Eminem hater at all, but he really cannot be in the top 5 discussion with material as bad as this. His bottom level stuff is just far too low.
And on a side note, I just realized Rolling Stone magazine gave this album a higher rating than it gave Supreme Clientele
Those of you who call yourself Hip Hop heads and care about what Rolling Stone thinks might want to bear that in mind.
