Relapse is Eminem's 6th studio album, this is his first since Encore in 2004. It was produced by Dr. Dre except for 1 song. Eminem's friend who passed away in 2006 (proof) was a big inspiration for this cd. I was very excited to get my hands on this cd. Eminem is my favorite rapper and I figured after such a long time off this album would be fantastic. Well, Relapse, is definately not Eminem's best album. I personally thought that a few of the songs sounded a lot like his previous work. To be honest I guess I enjoy his angry albums and Relapse is pretty mellow. Don't get me wrong there are some sick songs, especially 3am. Relapse just kind of seemed like the songs were rated PG-13. I definitely enjoyed Relapse and do recommend purchasing this album although I was just a little disappointed. His hooks are great. It is going to be in my CD player for a while. Track List: 1. "Dr. West" 2. "3 A.M." 3. "My Mom" 4. "Insane" 5. "Bagpipes from Baghdad" 6. "Hello" 7. "Tonya" 8. "Same Song & Dance" 9. "We Made You" 10. "Medicine Ball" 11. "Paul" (skit) 12. "Stay Wide Awake" 13. "Old Time's Sake" 14. "Must Be the Ganja" 15. "Mr. Mathers" 16. "Déjà Vu" 17. "Beautiful" 18. "Crack a Bottle" 19. "Steve Berman" 20. "Underground"Read full review
Well this album considering it is made in 2009 is very good. It's also Eminem, but that is not the real reason. I personally think the album isn't as bad as people say, but you can't compare it to his previous that it is not so sophisticated. I bought it because I was curious what exactly it will be like. After all he came back after 5 years with an album. Songs that I personally liked: 5 star songs: My Mom, Same Song and Dance, We Made you 4.5 star songs: Crack a Bottle, Stay Wide Awake. 4 star songs: Bagpipes from Baghdad, Hello, Medicine Ball, Old Time's Sake.
Eminem always has great material.I have all his other CDs,so I wanted to get this one also.Was not disappointed.Eminem's rap style flows thru these songs.Smooth and lyrical,with enough of the Slim Shady attitude.His rap style and voice are just so unique.Almost every song is about drugs,killing ,sex,violence,etc. so this will not be for everyone.But Eminem fans already know this,so they will enjoy this.Not as good an album as his earlier ones,but I could not stop listening to it none the less.Dr. Dre producing this album is as rock solid as always.Eminem,Slim Shady,Marshall Mathers,what ever you want to call him ,had alot of demons it seems like to excise in this album.Recommended listening.Welcome back,here's to many more.
HEY ALL YOU CRAZY EMINEM FANS OUT THERE. I'VE BEEN A FAN SINCE DAY ONE. EVEN HAVE A TATTOO ON MY WRIST SHOW CASING MY LOVE FOR HIS MUSIC. HIS MUSIC HAS SAVED MY LIFE SEVERAL TIMES OVER. I READ AN INTERVIEW EM HAD IN ROLLING STONE. I SEEN THAT THIS YEAR ON TOUR WOULD BE THE FIRST TOUR HE DID EVER SOBER. MANY OF THE SONGS HE DID ON THE LAST COUPLE CDS LIKE THIS ONE AND THE ONE IN 2004 HE WAS HIGH. I'M GLAD HE GOT HIS LIFE BACK IN ORDER AND CAME BACK TO THE STUDIO WITH A NEW CD. HE IS OVER 2 YRS. SOBER AND I'M 9 1/2 MONTHS SOBER. LIKE I SAID HIS MUSIC SAVED ME SEVERAL TIMES OVER. BUT HE DIDN'T JUST MAKE A COME BACK. HE CAME BACK WITH A BANG!! THIS CD IS NOT LIKE THE EM WE KNOW. YOU WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF YOU WERE HIGH EITHER, BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD. MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE 3AM, WE MADE YOU, OLD TIME'S SAKE, DEJA VU, BEAUTIFUL, AND UNDERGROUND IF YOU LIKE EM AND ARE THINKING ABOUT GETTING THIS CD, GO BUY IT.Read full review
Finally, Eminem has brought back the skill that made him popular and legendary in the first place. Relapse deserves much respect from the general public because of its authenticity and re-invention of the most talented hip-hop artist onthe planet. Giving an insight to his unfortunate drug addiction, Slim lucidly illustrates his hiatus and subsequent return to the mic. The opening banger, 3 A.M., slashes and proves Em's diversity amongst other rappers. The next track Insane, shows Shady speaking about some unusual subject matter, but nonetheless, rides the best beat onthe entire album produced by Dre. Bagpipes from Baghdad throws shots at some other celebrities, but still fascinates. Other notables like Must be the Ganja, Old Time's Sake and Stay Wide Awake describe his versatlity , especially the latter as that might just be his most talented wordplay ever expressed by Em. However, songs like Hello, Medicine Ball seem not to fit the dark and ravenous album. Also, the finale track Undergound seems totally forced, like his heart wasn't into it -- like he did it just to appease his fans that expect a hard-core track as the album's closer. All-in-all, Relapse is worth owning. His long-awaited departure from the limelight only made us yearn for his presence more and more. And he definetly delivered!Read full review
