    Spatula Relapse is a masterpiece

    Jan 14, 2017
    Listening to it right now. I don't know why people hate on Bagpipes From Baghdad. I find it a very entertaining song. Great rhymes, great energy, classic 3rd verse. Insane is great as well. Only songs I don't particularly like are We Made You, Old Time's Sake and Crack a Bottle. Must Be The Ganja would be there too if it weren't for the 2nd verse, that whole serial killer in a row part is great. With Refill and bonus tracks and those Westwood freestyles, it makes a whole era that unfortunately lasted only a year, but within that year we got a lot of cool material.

    The album stands out. It's just fun, extremely light on any touchy feelings and melodrama. I'm often in a mood where I just want to listen to silly songs with creative images, without there being any deeper point to it. Relapse is amazing.

    Relapse was the reason I started f---ing with em in the first place..... I never understood the hate for the album as a whole but I do agree that crack a Bottle and We made you are the Lowest points the album had to offer

    Yea, I've noticed more and more people are now praising Relapse. I had mixed feelings about it before, but over the years it became my favorite album.

    If anything it had the most potential to be a classic. Amazing production, a few songs already classic (My Mom/Deja Vu/Hello) the latter that could have been a great single. And some good songs like Elevator / Same Song and Dance / My Darling / Music Box. With a little less accent/cringe lines it could have been solid.

    At least one of the best sounding albums

    Honestly this is how I feel about each of Eminem albums

    1. Mmlp (classic ) the rage was so raw
    2. Sslp (classic) the perfect introduction
    3. The Eminem show ( classic)
    4. Relapse ( the definition of a very good album) the album will probably remain as Eminems most underappreciated album. Post drugs slim shady
    5. Mmlp2 ( good album with low replay value) this just em flexing his skills
    6. Recovery (good album for the time but in retrospective has aged not so well)
    7. Encore ( nothing to say that hasn't already
    I personally don't rate infinite.

    Relapse is I think finally getting more respect but I don't think it will ever elevate to topping his first 3 in status

    By the way, Buffalo Bill is one of Eminem's greatest songs.
