Eminem -2002- The — Eminem Show -320-

Recorded primarily at his newly built 54 Sound studio in Detroit, this album was produced almost entirely by Eminem himself (under the pseudonym Bass Brothers). This hands-on control is why the rip is vital. The low-end compression on tracks like “Square Dance” or the meticulous panning on “Business” get destroyed at 128kbps. At 320, you hear the architecture.

Originally scheduled for June 4, 2002, but moved to May 26 due to bootlegging. Production: Eminem self-produced about 90% of the album, with serving as executive producer. Major Hits: Eminem -2002- The Eminem Show -320-
