Relapse

VINYL FORMAT. Relapse is the sixth studio album from Eminem, arriving after a self-imposed five year hiatus.

"So how did Eminem spend his time off? Drugs, mostly. 'I fall in bed with a bottle of meds and a Heath Ledger bobblehead' doesn't even begin to cover it. Relapse, Em's first album in nearly five years, is studded with brand names, but not Lexus or Cristal - more like Lunesta, Ambien, Vicodin, Valium, NyQuil and other brain candy that helped Marshall Mathers turn himself into a zombie, before he got clean last year. It's hard to keep all the drugs on this album straight, but that's probably the point. Relapse is like a hip-hop version of Richard Pryor's Live on the Sunset Strip, the classic 1982 stand-up flick where Pryor makes the audience squirm through jokes about freebase addiction and setting himself on fire. If it's stronger than his last album, Encore, that's because Em's doing what he does best: cleaning out his closet. And there's more psychotic shit piled up in there than ever." - Rolling Stone
