Official Eminem "Relapse" Discussion Thread

[Hatesrats™]

What's everyone's honest opinion on The replay value of this album sofar?
Since leak day & the day after (I listened to it  for the most part a good 4 times), I'm prob done.

Gonna buy this, To accompany the other Plastic wrapped 'Em albums I keep for backup.
(have to complete the Disco')

^yeh thanks i deserved a diss for that lol

[Action!]

I view putting music on repeat in two fashions: 

short-term:  i want to bump this song a lot within the day or a week but after that period it's retired
long-term:  i'll can bump the collective album every couple months

Rarely, albums manage to have a collection of tracks that do both.  If they do it's often considered a classic.  Often, they'll have one or the other.  Usually, an album might have a hot single or two but comprehensively sucks (Example: Mims This Is Why I'm Hot) or they'll have an okay single backed by good album tracks (example: Joe Budden's Padded Room).

This definitely falls into the long-term category with several tracks falling into the short-term. 

Tracks I'll most likely have on repeat for the next week or so, the bolded ones I'll probably be bumping longer: :

Same Song and Dance
Stay Wide Awake
Must be the Ganja
Deja Vu
Beautiful
Underground

The other tracks I hear once or twice and they get pushed off for a month or so if not longer::
Crack a bottle
3 am
We Made You
Bagpipes from Baghdad
Insane
Old Times Sake

I honestly don't need to hear any of those again for a while.  The rest of them are up in the air. 

I have to say this album probably had the worst tracks as singles.

[BlueSwan]

Slim Shady LP
Marshall Mathers
Relapse (so far, after few days of lisening)
Eminem Show (close tie with Relapse, may change the order if i start getting board with Relapse soon
Encore

I totally agree with that ranking. "Relapse" is a great album and more than I was expecting, honestly. Also, the weakest tracks are much better than the weakest tracks on his other albums except for The Slim Shady LP. There's nothing here as bad as "Under The Influence" from MMLP, "Hailie's Song" on TES or "Crazy In Love" on Encore.

[TRG]

I listened to this about 3 times through once it leaked. But made sure i didnt over-play (play random songs here n there now) is so i didnt get bored with it in a week.

I'll be buying one copy. I dont need a second one.

i like how you were one of the first posters on here to check out Relapse 

Thanks for noticing.  You got me again.

And actually if you look back, I didn't comment on the record until the 2nd page thus making me NOT one of the 1st posters.  Good try though, buddy 

i didn't say anything about commenting 

Slim Shady LP
Marshall Mathers
Relapse (so far, after few days of lisening)
Eminem Show (close tie with Relapse, may change the order if i start getting board with Relapse soon
Encore

wow 

[The Watcher]

been playing this for the last few days, and i think its probably better than TES now

the only songs i cant really get into are insane & same song & dance

[DJ SUGAFREE QUIK]

None of the instrumental albums exist.

Yes 1 of them do exist.  Not sure about relapse.  You can check for relapse & some other hard 2 find stuff on this site.

[The Watcher]

all of the instrumental albums that were put together are just loops of the beats on the albums where Em isnt rapping

[Sikotic™]

I've noticed a lot of people saying Relapse is better than The Eminem Show. I think some of you are just happy that Relapse wasn't an abortion like Encore. The Eminem Show is still way better than Relapse.

I love this cd! It's everything i wanted out of em since train wreck "encore"
- whole cd produced by Dre (and the tracks are crazy)
- em's gone back to those ridicolous slim shady lyricals
- ems rhyme patterns are just stupid, aint no-one touching him on that
- makes me laugh out loud (NO other rapper makes me do that)

Favourite songs - bagpipes from baghdad, Deja vu, old times sake, 3am and same song & dance (the concept of the song is just crazy good)

"seen her backstage now heres where i come in son,
look here she comes better pull out the big guns,
hello lindsay your looking a thin hun,
how bout a ride to rehab, get in CUNT!" LOL classic

Relapse ain't even released yet, how would there still be an instrumental album of it ?
