Eminem - Curtain Call (Parental Advisory/The Hits) [PA] (CD 2005)

Eminem’s latest record out, 'Curtain Call', features many of this greatest tracks including:

Sing For The Moment
Lose Yourself
Just Lose It
Without Me
The Real Slim Shady
My Name Is
Mockingbird
Stan
Guilty Conscience
Cleanin' Out My Closet

Also included is 'When I'm Gone', a brilliant new track. Also features is a new version of ‘Stan’, which features Elton John, and which was recorded Live.

One track that I do not particularly like is 'Fack', its relatively short track, but poor compared to other tracks on the collection.

Following the usual Eminem tradition, the album starts with a strange introduction called 'intro', which will cause a few laughs.

If you are a fan of Eminem, and already have all four albums, I still urge you to buy this, simply for the bonus tracks, and also to complete the collection (unfortunately this is more than likely to be his last record).

If you want to get into Eminem, then this is a great record to start off with. It features popular, appealing classics such as ‘The Real Slim Shady’ and ‘Without Me’.

If you like rap music, then this is a great record to buy!

\if this is really Marshal's last CD, then he couldn't have picked a better way to say goodbye, especially through the song 'When I'm gone', with a great mix of new and old songs he shows hes not just a rapper, but a great voaclist in many different types of music, as many songs ryme, but aren't rap. This is deffinately his best work and he seems to improve with time, it might have something to do with as time goes on he has more troubles to write about, I still think he has one last album to write, maybe a tribute to Proof R.I.P, maybe for Kim, or his mum, or maybe to say goodbye in a more oving and spectacular way that what he has hinted at in this last album, if you don't own this album, or even any Eminem album, this should be your fist purchase, a must own CD.

I like this album more than his previus ones. the cover is catchy and the title is ok, i would reccomend you buying it.

I bought the CD as a gift for my son. Big Mistake! There is a parental advisory warning on the cover but niavely I thought that it was for a bit of swearing. Fortunately I listened to it in the car before giving it to him.
The music is great, but the lyrics go way over the top. I can forgive some of the swearing but with some tracks it was seemed that there were no other words other than expletives. Others were plain disgusting. Even my 16 - 19 year old students thought some of the lyrics were over the top.
I thought recorded music was for the masses, it's a shame that artists as good as Eminem don't realise that children like their music and tone down. Good music and good lyrics sound as good without the F word every 5 seconds.

Fab CD!!!!! Funny, Witty, musical, Fun, entertaining and all around great!!!!! BUY it BUY it!!!!! I think this is the best CD eminem ever produced!!!!!

Question: How can a collection of Eminem’s greatest hits fail to entertain?

Answer: Quite simply it can’t!

Eminem's back with his latest and what is rumoured to be his final album. The album is basically a two-disc compilation of his greatest hits.

Eminem has now released 4 albums prior to this so it is conceivable the avid Eminem fan will already have the majority of these tracks on other albums.

These include the comical singles like "My Name Is" and "The Real Slim Shady" to the hilarious bout between Eminem and Dr. Dre in the "Guilty Conscience" track. This is the funniest track on the album and is reminiscent of a devil saying ‘do it’ against an angel saying ‘don’t do it’ scenario in a cartoon. “Shake That” featuring Nate Dogg and the 8 Mile soundtrack “Lose Yourself” are also great tracks.

Combine all this together with Eminem’s collaboration with Dido for hit “Stan” and you’ve indeed got yourself a repertoire of material that typifies Eminem’s hits throughout his illustrious career.

One possible drawback of the album is that it doesn’t include tracks such as "Till I Collapse" but I guess you have to draw the line of what to include somewhere.

All in all, you can be assured this is a great album!

An excellent album, would definately recommend! A great mix of old and new songs. I cant pick one favourite song there all so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I don't want to bore you by repeating what everyone else has said so I'll keep it short. As the title says, this is an excellent new collection of Marshall's tracks - everything in one place! :o)
Featuring the new track 'When I'm gone' and all the old faves like 'Stan' and 'Without me' this is the ultimate collection for an Eminem fan!!
So why haven't I given it a 5 out of 5 like everyone else?? Some idiot decided to put the live version of Stan with Elton John on the Cd!! lol!! What a waste of perfectly good disc space!!!

I have been a fan of Eminem for a very long time. I feel this album reflected alot on how much he has changed and sung more about the important things in life rather then who he dislikes.
I am happy that he has finially remarried his ex wife Kim and is paying for care for his mum who was diagnosed with cncer not long ago. Seems like hes got himself back on track and with the lyrics and great tunes on this album hes deffinatly given us all a great send off as its his last album!

Eminem's four studio albums have shattered so many sales records that you might think just about every man, woman and hamster on the planet already owns a bulk of the songs that make up this greatest hits collection. But Curtain Call presents the perfect opportunity to have another look at the life of Marshall Mathers. Starting out in the vein of the Beastie Boys and Slick Rick, he grafted filthy verses over bubbly nursery rhyme melodies and primitive Casio beats to come up with comical singles like "My Name Is" and "Real Slim Shady." Then angst and reflection set in, resulting in rare moments of vulnerability ("Lose Yourself") and a richer amazing musical experience ("Stan"). The three new tracks reflect the entire spectrum, with "When I'm Gone," a bittersweet goodbye letter, signaling the raw emotion and youthful enthusiasm of his early days have substantially faded, while "Fack" counters that the Detroit rapper still has the dirtiest mouth in the business.

Well there's not much to say, many have been saying that this is Eminems farewell album as for many other artist but don't be discouraged this album has all the old fave's plus some great new stuff. If you bought the marshall mathers l.p. then buy this one aswell.

I actually bought this cd because i LOVE the song shake that ass ft nate dogg.I listenened to the rest of the cd and it was alright but not great.If your a big fan of Eminem though you'll like it because it has alot of his old tunes on it like stan,toy soldiers and without me.Overall theres a few songs to get you out of your seat and worth buying if it's going cheap.

This is another 1 of his excellent albums to hit the shops. I would rate this one as his best ever. Includes the infamous STAN, TOY SOLDIERS, GUILTY CONSCIENCE AND WHEN I'm GONE.

DISLIKES ABOUT THE ALBUM; Eminem is seriously one of the best rappers alive today, but why on earth is Elton John singing STAN at the end of the album. Spoils it for me, Elton stick with the old ballad songs which you are good at.

Unlike alot of people i know, i dislike Rap, or should i say disliked!?!?
I got this CD for my birthday and put it off for a while. Eventually i listened to it and immedietly felt immersed. Eminem is misjudged these days like all other rappers. We just see them as a load of random words and hands gestures, but NO, alot of Eminem's songs are enough to make even the toughest men cry, with emotional vocabulary and fantastic singing talent rolled into one to make the ultimate CD.
Eminem really has changed my perspective on life, espiccially the heart-breaking story behind 'Stan (feat. Dido)'
So i recommend running to the shops and going to get it NOW!!!!
(to anyone who cares im in fact listening to it now as writing this)

love this cd has some amazing tracks on it and is done by one legend and his friends excellent cd fully recomended

i love this cd, it had no marks or scraches it works well. the case has no marks aswell brill a++++++++ thanks.

excellent cd again ,i bought this for my collection as i have another one of Eminem's music cd's, this one i find just as good,he fails to let me down, i will continue to find all the cd's and even dvd's this man has made.

This is a great Eminem CD which i bought for very cheap and has all the great songs on like; Stan, Mockingbird, Just lose It and many more great hits. I would reccomend you buy it if you like Eminem. Thanks, Kea

my friend had the CD so i decided to purchase it myself. i browsed on ebay and read the item description and it was very accurate and i decided to purchase it from this seller.

Cracking Album i bought this to replace an overplayed copy and it will be in my car at all times (except when kids are in it), It start's off funny and just get's better all the way thruogh the disc with a fantastic version of stan with Sir Elton John doing Dido serious justice.
It's just a shame EMINEM is'nt still making music like this cos i am an ardent rock fan. But this guy put rap in my collection with his witty and gritty lyrics. A must for any serious music listener's collection put it on,get in the and drive, then chill, trust me it take's your mind off everyday bu*****t.

very good music and very good cd. have liked eminem for a young time. he does music, and its not every one cup of tea with him swearing constantly. bought it off ebay fairly cheapily and very happy with purchase
