Eminem, Relapse Review

Overall Rating

Beautiful, Underground, Deja Vu, Same Song and Dance, Stay Wide Awake.

We Made You, Crack a Bottle, Ending the album with (arguably) the best song, underground.

'Relapse' is s suprising return to form for Slim Shady, after all the negativity generated from the somewhat mediocre singles, He is back on blistering form for almost the entire album. The album starts with an entertaining intro that sets the tone for the album, and helps make sense of the disturbing nature of the following hour and 10 minutes plus. Its not all good though, as the accent eminem chooses to rap in, although not as annoying and/or noticable as you would think, does detract from some songs (Stay Wide Awake would of been ridiculous had it been attacked in a more angry, standard eminem flow), and it is present in some form on almost every track. Overall a very good album, with some excellent lyricism and beats, just not a "classic". Eminem Show has got this one beat, and it doesnt even come close to the MMLP.
