I love Eminem and his new cd is very powerful and personal. I may not agree with everything he does and says but I respect him as an artist.
I agree Nikki, it does seem he has grown a lot from the last couple of albums. He did admit that he was bitter over the course of writing and recording those albums. And he has said that he's more at peace with himself and a lot of his bitterness has faded, which will explain the more personal, mature tone of this latest album.
