    When I first heard Relapse I made a quick judgement based on the accents, theme and I skimmed through it and moved on but going back to it years later the more I can appreciate the album. Its a greatly executed concept album with production which brings the album to life. Eminem's character portrayals tells a story and his self awareness is the most honest (Deja Vu, My Darling). Even though there are skippable tracks which are more the commercially based ones I still think this album is underrated

    It definitely is underrated. I really don't understand how people can prefer Recovery over this album. Recovery is absolute crap, from the beats to the yelling and so on. Maybe it is because I'm from a different country or maybe I just have a different taste in music but, in my opinion, Relapse is still the best after-hiatus project.

    His flow on Relapse>>> Everything else on Relapse. Beautiful is underrated. If he would flow like did on Relapse now, He would be great. I really dig Phenomenal but imagine if he used the Relapse or TES flow on Phenomenal with no screaming or accents. If only. If only.

    Relapse was the last Eminem Album which deserved the title :"Exec. Producer Dr Dre"
    The Production on Relapse was top notch + Em was flowing like a god .

    terribly underrated fam.

    Glad to see 100% voting yes. A few great songs on the album plus Music Box on the Refill. Regardless of where you rank the album most will probably agree that it had aged the best out of all his post hiatus releases. Its the only post hiatus album I enjoy more now than when it was released.
