4 1/2 years is a hell of a long time in the hip hop business but Eminem is one fifth major album become one of the callest erwartenten relases of the year. Personally, I asked myself the question whether the former voher probably the best rapper in the world on the new album at all can achieve mediocrity, since I on his last album felt already, as if out of the air. But even I have to admit that Slim Shady mediocrity lets on "Relapse" loose behind him, that's for ever fixed, because you have to say that it is a very difficult einzuschätzendes album. I have now heard the plate several times and positive is an immediately apparent that Eminem the long break did good because lyrically there again significantly more to report than on "Encore", also his flow and his technique leans back more fitted to earlier works at, but it annoys a yet very thing Dr. Dre put on some produced for miserable beats. This varies the level very strong in some places. It often comes before the good on a song where one thinks jetz follow a number of good tracks, is torn with the next the whole atmosphere again. Really Bärenstark seen in the width moves "Relapse" jediglich in the mid-length album, there is also the single "We Made You" settled, which indeed can not keep up with things like "The Real Slim Shady" or "Without Me" but in my opinion on a par with "My Name Is" stands and "Just Lose It" for miles leaves behind. Other highlights include "Same Song & Dance", which has an unbelievable chillig driving Vibe and "Stay Wide Awake", where Eminem actually manages a penchant for gloomy restore. The Absolute About song of the record, in my opinion, however, "Underground / Ken Kaniff" because although the beat and Chrous are nothing earth-shattering or some getting used to. Show us Slim Shady here Flow and Rhymetechninsch the "Sickness", for which he has been around the turn of the millennium as unique. The skits are again partly funny, partly held gloomy. The Steve Berman & Paul Rosenberg Skits sting as expected again hevor and rings a smile from even comes a laugh if Ken Kaniff at the end again to nem small "Rap" attaches that in my opinion are the small but nice things an Eminem album a vote also conciliatory.

122/150 = 81%
It can be said that Eminem an unexpectedly solid album, with no real total failures delivers when speaking of "Must Be the Ganja" disregards. Of the first three albums is "Relaspe" still far away and I think even if Em "Realpse" had 9 years ago published instead of the "Marshall Mahters LP", he would be a not even a half this icon it today has risen, but you have to acknowledge without envy that Shady has with "Relapse" have a say in an enormous word "Rapgame" in 2009. Also, I expect him to high that it waives experiments and its line remains, this is he Raptechnisch far beyond "Encore" level, so what more could you want?
