Eminem “Relapse”
Standouts - “Deja Vu,” “Beautiful,” “Same Song & Dance,” “Hello,” “Stay Wide Away”

After a four-year hiatus that included a successful stint in rehab, Eminem returns with the most anticipated album of his career, “Relapse.” In true Eminem fashion, “Relapse” is so far in left field sometimes that it has me wondering if he is still doing drugs. At first listen I didn’t get the album at all. As a matter of fact I was having a hard time trying to describe it. After the initial shock from some of the lyrical content, you begin to get some understanding of the album. I guess the good thing about “Relapse” is that it’s classic Eminem, but the bad thing is that it takes several listens before you can really get into the CD.
