Well, at least the NME liked Eminem's album. Grownup reviewers seem to think he's gone downhill, so I'm kind of pleased that someone likes it. The NME reviewer's ingredients list is:

This album was made from:

Legal difficulties: 36% Misogynous rage: 30% Southern-style bounce: 22% Post-September 11 politics: 15% Aerosmith samples: 5% Tender lullabies: 2%

They certainly got it right when they reviewed the Slim Shady LP. Their verdict:

If you're retarded, stoned or 12, you're going to absolutely love it.

I must admit, one of the best things about eminem is that you can really irritate 12-year-old boys by telling them how much you like him.
