A Classic? It is a point of view ...

First, tell me where is the phenomenal single of usual, like "My Name Is," "Without Me", "Lose Yourself" or "The Real Slim Shady" ?! These are certainly not the 4 singles released in record time ("We Made You", "3am", "Old Time's Sake" and "Beautiful"); "We made you" déjà vu 100km, close to anything, without exceptional musical content. "3am" is already more friendly, with a concept not very new (serial killer who discovers the bodies around him who does not remember having killed), an original flow, but that musically it's not at all a hit. Nevermind "Old Time's Sake", which is interesting not only the flow of Dre and Eminem, because the lyrics and the music, it may well be a prod Dre ... Finally the "Beautiful", however really worth seeing. Musically in the tradition of "Sing For The Moment", the lyrics are trendy, and always impeccable flow.

The rest of the album, it's like the singles: there's good and less good. At lyrics level, it is mainly the titles that speak of his drug addiction, his delusions and his killers malaise are the most interesting, often with appropriate musical atmosphere and very well produced (3 am, Insane , Same Song & Dance, Stay Wide Awake, Déjà Vu and Beautiful). Then there are the odd bits, which is a good background but uninteresting lyrics ("Bagpipes From Baghdad" or "My Mom" ​​[**** could STILL title to his mother !!!]) or the Conversely, securities minimal good lyrically but musically dishes ("Hello" [what is that ??? this title], "Medicine Ball" ...). Special mentions for "Underground" and "Crack A Bottle"; 1 is a title with an excellent instrument, a flow and flawless words, only flat, refrain perhaps a bit heavy. As for the second, there is no introduction, it's a good old egotrip to 3, with perfect instruments and choruses. You just tell 50 of its level a little shrug when two geniuses, because here he task.

In summary, we are very far from a "Marshall Mathers LP"; no strong single, too irregularity. As against this, has some good, even very good titles, and it remains Eminem, so the flow is impeccable on all securities without exceptions, and are interludes in the old albums lineage. Anyway, being a fan of Eminem for at least 6 years, it is clear to me that "Relapse" is in any of his previous albums, except perhaps "Encore", and again.
