My Review on Eminem's Relapse:
Marshal Mathers is back! I hate to say it sometimes, but I am a huge Eminem fan. I pretty much have all his releases, except for his work in D12. I, however, cannot say that I love rap or hip-hop, so this album isn't my all time favorite album. I will say that it is a good comeback for Marshal, who already has a release lined up for later this year. The first actual single from the album was "We Made You", which was making fun of many topics, but most notably - Sarah Palin. I thought it was hilarious when Marshal dressed up like Brett Michaels and screwed the shit out of Sarah. The second single, "3am" took a darker twist, as Marshal sang from a point of a Schizophrenic person. It's interesting how far from Schizophrenia he comes, but I mean, as a song it's a great song.
I really liked how he stopped being so self centered when it came to his problems (except for the song "Insane", where he talks about the abuse he sustained). He even moved on to a more political song, "Bagpipes in Baghdad". Of course I still think that eminem is a child and forever will be a white trash redneck rapper, but he has grown just a little.
The Artwork is simple, a bunch of prescription pills on the floor that have made a portrait of Marshal's face. Relapse has the RX symbol on the R, but other then that, the artwork is simple.
As a review on whether you should buy Relapse, I'd say it's not worth buying unless you either love Eminem or you try to collect all his stuff, so just pirate the album like all the cool kids do these days. Fuck the FCC and fuck the IPPS, just steal it because that's about all its worth.
