    I'd rather listen to Deja Vu, My Mom, and Hello than pretty much anything else post-hiatus. :kanye3:

    Hello isn't bad but it COULD have been a great. That song and his normal Voice would have been an amazing comeback single.

    For a long time fans of Relapse argued that "at least it felt like an Eminem album" and it took a long time but in a weird way I kind of get that now. The stuff he has released from Bad Meets Evil-now has been SOOOO bad(with the exception of some stuff from Shady XV) that it made me kind of appreciate parts of Relapse.

    h--- yeah. Flow was awesome. Dre production was great. Was lyrically great. Content was iffy. Accents were ehh but still listenable.

    Relapse is forever underrated. My favourite post comeback eminem album.

    wtf does Gandolfini have to do with anything? No shots you take at a dead man will make this album good lol

    Diabetic waffles, hard tacos, bodies waddling, wine and Captain Crunch, pang pong with his own dang dong, peeing on Rihanna, felching, A1 sauce, dancing in red pohnties...no idea how an adult could consider this good lyrical content (maybe you're not an adult)

    If he had the regular voice then that would be great. Imagine his voice on The Warning on every Relapse song:shaq:.......s--- would be Godly. As long as he didnt make another We Made You then i would be content

    Hello is a great song, at least I've always thought so. And relapse has this sort of weird pretty bad/pretty good feel to it. I would take Relapse over MMLP2 any day

    I made a post about this a while back and everyone called me nuts :emoji_slight_frown: lol. I think the album has aged so well.. The more I listen the more it feels like that was the last time we heard Eminem sound the way HE wanted to sound. Not just going off fan feedback. The flows are literally 11/10, and I agree the accent works well on the second visitation of the album. It adds to the theme, which was nice to have rather than just scatter brained songs. The technical skill is off the chart. Only issue I can really think of are a few bad songs dragging it down, but I think if it had two or three more decent to good songs peoples views of that album would've changed drastically. Also the timing was off. I feel like if he would've released recovery then relapse people would've appreciated each more

    The Relapse era conjured one of his best songs of all time. The questionable reliance on horror fantasies and accents soured some tracks but not all, and with flawless production and rhyming throughout, I think Relapse could have been a formidable album with better track selection.

    Relapse as it is... it's decent enough, though your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance of its flaws.

    Guess I'll talk about it a lil bit..
    The accent is probably the best part to be honest.

    He literally bent words in such a way with that accent pronounciation that it flows like a f---in computer made it up or some s---.

    Dude really knows rap so much that he came up with a way to pronounce words in such a way that it makes the technically of the raps GOAT.

    It is the best technical rap album ever made, s---'s leagues ahead of its time in terms of technical flows.

    I remember I hated it just like everyone else when it came out but I couldn't comprehend what I was hearing.
    s--- has aged better than any other post album.

    It's just really pleasing to the ears.

    betta watch out sucka now I gotcha where a wan cha

    Agreed, Relapse is awesome. At first I hated the accent, now it doesn't bother me..those flows are untouchable though.

    Crack a Bottle is the worst eminem song of all time. I'd take Fack and Wee Wee on repeat for a month over listening to that song one more time in my life.

    Yeah, even if the majority of Relapse is a misfire (to say the least), it still feels like Eminem at its core. I can't really say the same for any of his later projects, even if some of them are better overall.

    Best post-drug Eminem album by far in my opinion. At the end of the day it's something different and creative, albeit with a few horrible tracks but some really great ones (Deja Vu, My Mom). Rhyme schemes and flow are just downright impressive. Not a classic, but a cool novelty project that sits apart from the rest of his discography and it's interesting to look at how it ties into his mind state and career during this period. Much more palatable than listening to the awkward forced punch line screaming Marshall we've come to listen to since then. Replace Insane, Underground, Crack a Bottle, and Old Time's Sake with Elevator, My Darling, Drop the Bomb On Em and CWYWF and you've got a d--- solid album, imo.

    Relapse is great because it's suppose to be dark and not light hearted like the real slim shady.
    He returns to the rap game officially but lets you know he's been through some s--- and the album reflects that. I like how dark it is.
    It's not "Yay Eminem is back!!" it's "woh.. Eminem is.. back?" kinda startling.

    He actually wanted to rap again and chose exactly what he wanted. No one forced him to do anything.
    Unlike Recovery and MMLP2 which has corporate influence, Relapse is him at his natural.

    Yes there is a huge wasted potential but overall it's so nice. So nice. His freestyles with Tim Westwood are my favorite songs by him.

    Dre's production is an AMAZING on this album. I feel like this was the last true Slim Shady esque album. At this point in his career i wouldn't be pissed if he went back to that style.
    Relapse> Shady XV and just about everything else post hiatus

    My thoughts exactly. It still feels more like a true Eminem song than the majority of post-Relapse songs IMO.

    I guess the Marshall Mather LP s----d? Oh raping his mom and j lo, having a son and a new brother. Timeless music, right? Oh wait, it is. Its Eminem bro .. That's sort of part of his game. Shock value is obviously intended.
