I liked it. It was/is not as good as MMLP or Eminem Show, I agree. The better songs are in the second half. Yellow Brick Road and Toy Soldiers are good, but each needs annotations -- or at least 12 issues of Vibe for background info.

I'm sad that this last album dipped a bit in quality. It's still some of the best on the market -- just not by as much. And, I like this album better upon the second and third listening. Problem is... he's coasting.

And, Mosh is one of the best songs on the album -- and it's about time he got political. Dissing L. Cheney for having a beef with him is one thing -- but taking on the larger politics issue is good for him. About time. Only been hinted at by him before (e.g. Square Dance) but now it's out there.
