Blood$:
I gave this a spin at my boy's crib last night while I was completely gone, so I'm not sure if I will feel the same way bumping this sober lol but from what I can remember, here's my thoughts:

01. Dr. West (Skit) - N/A, LOVE this intro... something different and I like how it ties into the next song

02. 3 A.M. - 4/5, this track grew on me after a few listens when it leaked, the beat is good and Em kills it, sometimes I forget the accent is there

03. My Mom - 3.5/5, when I first heard the hook I thought "this shit is wack as fuck" but after hearing the verses I thought this had a good concept to it, just needs a better hook... beat is fire though

04. Insane - 2.5/5, the beat is BANGIN', one of my favorites on here, but the fucked up/homo shit that Em spits on here brings it down big time for me, even though his flow was on point and he didn't really use the accent

05. Bagpipes From Baghdad - 2/5, umm... something different I guess, not sure what I really think of this one  :-\

06. Hello - 3/5, nothing special about this track but there's something about it I kinda like, just don't know what it is lol

07. Tonya (Skit) - N/A

08. Same Song & Dance - 2/5, not feelin' it... give this beat to someone else and maybe it will be better

09. We Made You - 2.5/5, if it wasn't for the accent I could dig this one maybe

10. Medicine Ball - 3/5, it's aiight... Eminem's flow was straight on here

11. Paul (Skit) - N/A

12. Stay Wide Awake - 3.5/5, the beat is dark, which I like, but Em could have killed this is if he really tried

13. Old Time's Sake (feat. Dr. Dre) - 4/5, I liked this the first time I heard it, nothing mind blowing but it's a cool track for me

14. Must Be The Ganja - 4/5, I'm feelin' this one, great beat for a track like this, Em didn't do a bad job here

15. Mr. Mathers - N/A

16. Deja Vu - 4/5, this seems like the old Eminem to me, or at least a dose of him (no homo), I like this

17. Beautiful - 4.5/5, great song but it's extremely out of place on this album IMO...

18. Crack A Bottle (feat. Dr. Dre & 50 Cent) - 4/5, Eminem had the weakest part but Dre killed it and so did 50... the beat is good as well

19. Steve Berman (Skit)

20. Underground/Ken Kaniff - 5/5, this is the Eminem I like to hear, dude ripped this one, and Dre killed it on the beat

I guess overall I would give this album a 3/5, the production saved it big time and Eminem did have a few moments where he was on point or showed that he still had it in him but he ruined his potential on almost every track with the "accent" and subject matter...

My favorite tracks: "3 AM", "Underground", "Deja Vu", "Beautiful", "Must Be The Ganja", and "Insane" (for the BEAT only)

I was bllinded by the hate in the beginning due to Eminems using accent on nearly every song and not showing the growth I was hopinh for. Dre beats litereally keeped me from throwing this into recycle bin after 1 spin. Encore had Eminem using the accent and goofing around with just random tracks thrown together at least Relapse has a nice concept from top to bottom. All the tracks flow well together, I previously said Dre's beats were all over the place (again the hate talking), except We Made You which sounds out of place. I'm still pissed at the accent though, "Deja Vu" is the example of how he should rap on the whole album.

I'll drop a review in couple days.

BTW Dre's outros on this cd are really fly.

Yeah I'm really feelin' "Deja Vu" to be honest...

a PM containing a link or it never happened.........













 8) good look in advance.........

Mygla:
I haven't seen anyone mention the obvious Relapse/Detox-connection...

It can't be coincidental when the first fully (well, almost) Dre-produced album in almost ten years is a cinematic album depicting a drug relapse... Wich oftens leads to an intervention (how fucking cool would it have been if 50 came out with an album called intervention now!) and detox.

I'm not saying Detox will be lyrically ANYTHING like this, but i definately expect the production and structure of the album to be pretty similar.

I just want to hear how these beats sound without em on them
