Will challenge your ears (in a good way!), 2010-08-06
MAYA is simply the most intesting album I've heard this year. It is, at times, a difficult listen (lots of loud, distorted synths and drums) but this is regularly contrasted with some well produced more straightforward pop. 'Born Free' is a highlight and actually improves on the Suicide sample on which it is built. It's great that such a talented young woman is making music that challenges the anodyne nature of so much modern pop.

Bliss, 2010-08-04
This is a superb album. Im gonna keep this real short and sweet.
It has great variation and each song is great. Im sure everyone would like this album. For the price you would be a fool not to!
Some tracks are just so relaxing its just bliss to listen too with a great sound system or a decent pair of headphones.
Give your ears a treat.

 Lighten up!!!, 2010-08-06
Unfortunately Smugheads review was unhelpful as it was wholly based on his dislike of Mr Ronson..and although im sure Ronsons throwaway pop is not every ones taste (remember his cover of Radioheads 'Just'!! deplorable)... especially for musos like Smugheads surrounded by his cackling cronies... the album itself is really not that bad and i find myself surprised to type these words...has flashes of brillance!
Wisely including cool known artistes and up and coming stars Ronson manages to lean towards the 80s synth pop without it ever feeling like a pastiche. Instead hes created a fun, danceable collection of tracks with some catchy hooks.
So i say lighten up all you Smugheads out there...hate the man but not his work.
id give the album 3 stars...the extra one is just for Q-Tip

A new Eminem?, 2010-09-02
I really love this record. The tracks that grabbed me first are Love the Way You Lie, Won't Back Down and Talkin" 2 Myself. However it is a whole concept and a new energy is apparent in Eminem. I like lyrics so there is a lot of Bob Dylan, Em and Pete Doherty, in all his changes, in my record collection. A lot of people think it's a weird mix but the quality they share is a great and masterful use of words. They create images and pull me into their stories. I think if Em can deal with the pressure we have the prospect of more of what made Em in the first place; people empathized and felt what he did but couldn't express it. I wish him all the best.

Eminem
On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He is conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is", he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience", he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident fro...
Still Raw as Botulism!, 2009-11-26
I picked up this disc the other day for what must be the 1000th time & STILL found something new in it! If CD's wore out, then this one should have. Long ago. Fortunately it hasn't & its contents have, as yet, failed to fade with the passage of time.
Although there are some tracks that lack power (e.g. If I Had & Role Model), most of the other tracks have amazing lyrics & such economy of language that you'll be discovering the meaning behind a word or phrase for years to come.
For instance, a friend pointed out to me that ''97 Bonnie & Clyde' was the 2nd part of Kim off The Marshall Mathers LP & suddenly 2 songs which seemed completely different (one subtle, one brutal) made sense as one piece...
There is also tracks such as Rock Bottom (about being down in the dumps), As The World Turns (a surreal day-in-the-life of Eminem) & Bad Meets Evil (Eminem as a Wild-West villain), which are the type of thing that other artists would *dream* of having on their first album. It's like watching Bruce Lee in action - all your frustrated rage finds its voice & its expression in the words &, paradoxically, you feel chilled out by something that should stress you out!
Anyways, I suppose what I'm saying is that this record hasn't aged. I look at 'OK Computer' & 'Blur'-Blur (from the same time) & they don't really compare; this record is densely & fully packed with Eminem at his brightest & sharpest before he went ad nauseam on 'The Marshall Mathers LP'.
Although fame didn't ruin Eminem, it certainly did distort his playful wit & it's a truly excellent thing that this CD is there (like Definitely Maybe or Experience) to remind us all of what good music REALLY is - raw, passionate (in the true sense) & powerful, in a way that the 'Jedward's' of this World couldn't possibly fathom...

Eminem
Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills, or his potential for raw-yet-compelling honesty, are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec-produced by long-time mentor/partner Dr Dre, "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half….I could be one of your kids/ little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers L...
The Eminem Pinnacle, 2009-06-22
This is undoubtedly the best of Eminem's albums - every track stands out on its own, the whole has continuity and there is none of the irritating side of Slim Shady's ludicrousness which turns many people off. What more can I say - I can simply listen to the whole thing non-stop, and if I had to list favourites, I would probably list half the tracks!
I was surpised that the Marshall Mathers LP, also a great album, has received more reviews and higher ratings (by half) than this one, when I realised that people often buy a whole album just for one single - nuff said...
