I like this album more than the general consensus did. I do feel that it was way too one dimensional as far as the drug content though. However, I liked hearing the Slim Shady persona again. Production-wise, the drums bang on my "My Mom" and the sample of "Reaching Out" is very effective on "Beautiful." The extreme violence (i.e. "3 A.M.", "Stay Wide Awake") sounds a bit forced, but the dark humor does find its footing by the end of the LP ("Underground"). And I do think "We Made You" is one of the weakest songs in Eminem's entire catalogue, but, to counter that, "Deja Vu" is one of the best.
