The album doesn't waste time to tell us that Eminem is a confused artist. 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' isn't quite what 'The Bends' did for Radiohead, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. That being said, it's hard to argue that Eminem has faded into irrelevancy - with his earlier albums such as TMMLP(1) and 'The Slim Shady LP' providing enough artistic momentum to leave fans waiting for a return to greatness. 'Recovery' and 'Relapse' left me cold in moments, and I found 'Encore' to be insufferable. Review Summary: Slim Shady's long-awaited return can't quite grasp the excellence of his earlier material, but succeeds in enough ways to satisfy.Īside from the endless torrent of 'Rap God' over the radio, I've never listened to Eminem with a great deal of attention.
