Eminem raps better here than anywhere else on the second Marshall Mathers LP. That’s partly because he’s using the same contentious vocal delivery he used on the first one. The McDonald’s and Kroger bits are particularly commendable as they show the aging rapper can still amuse. What basically ruins the song; a remake of Joe Walsh’s Life’s Been Good; is its lack of originality.

The title is Holland but the chorus says “Hollands”. One spelling is the last name of a girl who I think is supposed to stand as a metaphor for marijuana, but which is it? That distinction, without an explanation from the artist, comes across as a glaring mistake. Not that the song would be something special otherwise.
It’s a noisy party in The Netherlands, but the only fun parts for me are the aforementioned chorus sections, which come after a bridge that sounds more like a chorus than the chorus. The aesthetic high can be heard in the final forty seconds; especially when the music subsides and a woozy Gaga goes, “Hoo-hoooo!”
