The Eminem Show (Aftermath, 2002) by Eminem


I really like how much Em's songwriting skills were showcased on this album.  Not to say that The Marshall Mathers LP didn't have its moments (i.e. "Stan", "Kim", "The Way I Am"), but, for the most part, Marshall Mathers was more about punchlines, verses, and delivery than actual complete songs.  Although the production was not quite as solid this go round, Eminem more than made up for it with lyrical content and records such as "White America", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "Square Dance", and "'Til I Collapse."
