I’ve never heard a Eminem album so this should be interesting. It definitely feels pretty edgelord, but that cultural movement was probably inspired by this album in part. There’s a weird amount of lyrics about school shootings. I guess maybe because it was new thing back then. First half has a few great songs, production is very good all around. Most songs are dense with little details. Definitely new things to notice on relisten. Ken Kaniff is probably the worst skit ever. The second runs a little long and can be annoying. Kim is a pretty wild song. Definitely a highlight. Good album overall. Fav song: The Way I Am Least Fav song: I’m Back

A beautiful “airy” album. I really like the musical palate. Best song: The Windmills of Your Mind Worst song: Just One Smile

Hey I was named after this guy. I’ve already listened to This Year’s Model, which I liked. I think this albulm has higher high points, but is sometimes grating and sometimes boring. Overall good. Best song: No Dancing Worst song: Sneaky Feelings

I could see this albulm growing on me. Fav song: Talk About The Passion

I gave this albulm a second listen. I never thought that this albulm was able to live up to its reputation, and I still don’t. It’s definitely influential, but I feel like most bands since have figured out what needed to stay and what needed to go. Favorite song: I talk to the wind Least Favorite: Moonchild

I think this a fantastic album. Definitely deserving of being on this list (even though most people on this site seem to disagree). Favorite song: He Would Have Laughed Least favorite song: Sailing

Just not very interesting to me. Maybe I should learn to appreciate the “hard rock” vocal style and do a relisten. Favorite song: Sister Luck Least Favorite song: Could I’ve Been So Blind

The folk songs are actually pretty good but I still can’t stand the hard rock voice. I’m sorry. Favorite song: That’s the way Least favorite song: Celebration day

It’s alright . Favorite song: Reelin’ in the years Least favorite song: Midnite Cruiser

I liked this album better on this revisit. It sounds less annoying than I remember. I better understand why everyone always praises the production on this albulm. There are some moments where the song writing and vocal style really work for me, some where it just doesn’t. Favorite song: God Only Knows Least Favorite: That’s Not Me

Those opening tracks are generational. I really like the way they write songs. The bands that came to mind when listening to this were Sonic Youth and Women. Favorite song: Paintwork Least Favorite song: Couldn’t Get Ahead
