RELAPSE CD WILL ALSO FEATURE LINK TO DOWNLOAD ONE EXCLUSIVE TRACK



SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Deluxe versions of multi-platinum hip-hop artist Eminem's brand-new album Relapse will be made available through all digital retailers on May 19th, the same day the physical album goes on-sale in stores.


One deluxe version will feature two bonus tracks not included on the physical CD, as well as videos for Eminem's recent singles "3AM" and "We Made You." Another deluxe version will be made available which features the same two bonus tracks without the videos.


Buyers of the physical CD will be able to download one hidden track by playing the disc on a computer and visiting www.eminem.com.


Fans who buy the album at Eminem.com will get the bonus audio and video as well as a chance to buy special limited album bundles that come with a signed 24x24 art quality print, exclusive t-shirts and sweatshirts, album vinyl and more.


Produced by Eminem's long-time collaborator Dr. Dre, the highly anticipated Relapse is Eminem's first album since 2004's 4x-platinum Encore. Several songs have already been released digitally, including "3AM," "Old Time's Sake," "We Made You," and "Crack a Bottle," which set a Nielsen Soundscan record for opening week download sales when it sold 418,000 digital tracks in its first week of release on iTunes in February.

EMINEM has stepped up the promotion game with this! This is insane... A Fully theme place themed to his album, with free Medicine bottles that say Relapse prescribed by Dre, to evrything they got goin on.  Crazy!!

[Jarkone]

Listening to it as a concept album and knowing "the story behind the songs", it all make sense.  The more I listen to it it keeps getting better imo.
Not his best album but better than some garbage other artists dropping lately.
I hope Relapse 2 starts where this album ends.

After listened to this album from beginning to end everyday since it leaked im ready to say that this is a classic album and yes, its mostly thanx to Dr.Dre, this album has an extremely high replay value! Say what you want but this is his best one - THANK YOU DR.DRE this was a nice gift to make me stand the wait for Detox!

[PLANT]

sick!!!  Eminem kills it!!

[BiggBoogaBiff]

It ain't that good but it's hot

[Meho]

Merged a lot of the topics. Unless it's somethig really new and important post all news here.

The album has mad replay value, last time it was like this was Ultimate Victory. Just put this in the car, it's definetly a sonic experience. Probably the best produced cd since 2001.

I thought this was thread material, The way there doin promotion on this album is crazy!  This is by far the crazyiest promotion idea ive ever seen

[LyRiCaL_G]

The promotion they be doing for this album is crazy. Seriously nobody can blame interscope if this shit fails to sell!...which it wont! Eminem going to do huge numbersfirst two weeks atleast with this album, its everywhere.

As for the actual album, like i said review is coming! I just been hearing it alot recently, still dont think its dope or anything and i def dont agree with meho that its the best produced cd since 2001, but i do like some of the productions on it and some of the flows from eminem. Like i said, it coming! I feel this is one of them cds, gets bumped good for a week or two and then never gets spun again, for me anyway.  We'll see, some of the lyrics and content is seriously wack but there are moments of great lyrics and flows too...

review will be coming soon!lol

pz!
