Once you get past that phase try listening to it with an open mind, no overanalysing every single word, good music is good music. I also gave him a pass on the growth things, since he was on drugs for the past 7 years so it's understandable that he raps about it. Relapse 2 better be more serious and adress Proof, Interscope, Shady records politics....
I suggest everybody to read that breakdown of the cd Action posted. And the replay value on this cd is impressive people are gonna call me crazy for this but it's better than Marshall Mathers (the replay value that is) for me. MM is obviously a better cd but the replay value was always fishy to me, like with all Eminem material except Slim Shady LP.
Basically Slim Shady LP verses + Relapse production= classic

Personally, I liked the album from the get-go. I've probably played the whole album a dozen times now and it does get better. However, it wasn't until after the 3rd listen that I came across this statement when I began to really appreciate where he was going with this album, bearing in mind that Relapse is loosely a concept album:
The main theme of the record is a lot to do with me getting sober. Like giving up drugs and also kinda relapsing back into the first two albums, it's like relapsing back to the first two albums. The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP. It kinda feels like, the way these records feel it's like, to me, they kinda feel like those two records." (Skyrock)
So for those who felt like his content was lacking, it's basically part of the concept, because he keeps relapsing back to SSLP & MMLP personas.
It's brilliant, imo.

Agreed!!!
I think alot of people just aren't grasping this whole concept album thing.. if you really look at what he was trying to do and then look at each track and how they fit... shit is dope as fuck!!! Given I do think a few tracks don't exactly fit the album.. you could probably skim it down to like 16-18 tracks.
Nelson Muntz:

J$crILLa:

Once people understand the story behind the concept, they might be able to appreciate it more. Lyrically and production wise, the expectations were met for an Eminem album. The only real complaint that people seem to have with Relapse is the accent on certain songs. I've never been bothered by the accent, so it's whatever to me.
