It's not a bad album, but I don't like his new fake accent. It's like when Madonna decided she was British.
I think he raps about both Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan on this album![]()

I downloaded it about a week ago and although I'm an Eminem defender in the flame wars, I don't really like Relapse. It started growing on me at first but it's such a shallow album that it's boring already.
Eminem's rhyme scheme and his flows are pretty damn awesome in some tracks and Dre's beats are above average, but it just doesn't all come together. Eminem usually has repe ive themes but he took it to a whole new level on this album. It seemed like he was either whining about his mom, emoing about his life, talking about the pills he pops and reinforcing the fact that he had a long layoff. The talk about about the pills and the layoff are the most annoying. Rapping about every type of pill in existence isn't impressive after about the second listen and mentioning you've been gone and this is your comeback 23235230572304712 times gets damn old.
He's damn talented but it just sounds like Eminem has lost his fire. When he was motivated early on in his career, he was gold. Now that fire isn't very consistent at all and I think he's finished as a top notch emcee. Eminem's skill is there but that's about it. He had a good run but it happens to just about every rapper.
Regarding his voice, it didn't really bother me. His regular voice isn't a strong point so changing it up is moot to me.
Overall, I'd give it about a C or a C-. I wouldn't rate any track in his top 20 to 25 tracks of all-time.
Pretty fair assessment. Relapse sucks
I like "beautiful" and "underground" though
Didnt he rap about jessica simpson and Alba? He also said that he has mixed feelings over him making fun of jessica since her boyfriend is that football player. He said he is his favourite player.
You get over hearing the countless drug references but I spose that's the theme for the album.
It's cool to have new material from him tho.
This CD is for fans of lyricism. It's like candy to those who appreciate the art of multi rhyme patterns. but like timvp and others have said, the content of the lyrics is tiresome.
The content of the lyrics is a pretty large part of "lyricism", so I can't say it's for fans of lyricism. But I'd agree in that this album would appeal to those who enjoy complex rhyme schemes. I'd say it's probably his best multisyllabic rhyming. Although the actual lyrics suffered at times due to his concentration on the schemes.
P.S.
Oh and that male child rape track is disgusting. I had to delete that song and reformat my computer after listening to it . . .
Nooo, please tell me that he doesn't use that horrible fake accent in all the songs.
wack, talk about mom, check, talk about pop stars (who don't give a about him) and how great i am compared to them, check. about my wife/ex wife/gf, whatever she is, check. come up with cheesy hooks check. wait that's every album. left over dre beats that were crap, check.
Insane, yep its full on, bit too extreme.
chamillionaire>>>eminem, but koopa is taking way too long to drop Venom but when he does its gonna be great
on chamillionaire.com it says. The End is Near June 3rd 09 could be the release of Venom or just a single i have no idea but i can't wait
I heard relapse today before I bought it. I'm glad I didn't. The only thing this album will help you with is getting ahead of the other students if you ever decide to become a pharmacist.
I thought it was supposed to come out in March or something but it got delayed so I guess that's the album.
I hope you're not serious. Eminem is terrible now.
Eminem sucks today but so does MJ and he's still the best. Eminem is one of the best lyrically but I'm with you, I like Chamillionaire too, he's a beast.
My all time favorite Eminem song is Criminal and there's nothing on relapse that reminds me of that. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.
Yeah I'm not even buying the new cd, it sucks. But I won't discredit his other stuff though, he's a beast. Seems like he tried to hard to appeal to mainstream and put out some Lil Wayne quality bull which just isn't his style.
+1..dude said Venom was going to drop in Feb put like all albums it got pushed back
i want Dre's Detox album to drop......hopefully 2009 is the year
