 The album also features political commentary on the United States, including references to 9/11, Osama bin Laden, the war on terror, President George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney and Tipper Gore.Due to its less satirical and shock factor lyrical approach, "The Eminem Show" was regarded as Eminem's most personal album at the time and a step back from the Slim Shady alter ego.Widely considered the most anticipated album of 2002, "The Eminem Show" debuted at number one on the "Billboard" 200 and stood there for five consecutive weeks.
