Yup, no denying that Dre did his thing. The beats bang on Relapse, from cover to cover.But what I'm loving the most with the production on Relapse is the fact that there's a coherent and steady sound going on throughout the album. Like there were back in the days - the advantage of having one producer do the whole album, I guess. I really wish that style of making records would come back - not get one beat from everybody who's hot, but just get one dude or team do the whole record. You'd get the effect that an album isn't just a collection of songs but those songs form a whole - not only thematically, but sonically also.
You know, at first I was really kind of dissapointed, but after my 4th and 5th go through im starting to really get a better feel for the album. Its not like a normal Em album at all, I think that is what really threw me from the get go! Dre really makes the album, Ems lyrics are on point most of the time but Dre carries it with the beats I believe. And you guys are right about Underground, that crazy shit in the background is just insane! Classic production, its growing on me more with each listen!
