Jul 28, 2021This was Eminem's comeback album. Creatively, it's much more impressive than Recovery, with songs like Medicine Ball, Hello, Elevator, Stay Wide Awake that are horrorcore or shocking. It's a disturbed album, but there are some radio-friendly tracks like Crack a Bottle and Beautiful. This was an album I listened to all the time in high school.
-
Jan 22, 2020On of the most underrated albums of all time...
Just listen to beautiful, deja vu, insane, my darling, hello, crack a bottle to see the lyrical genius of this man. With great production by Dr Dre. -
May 27, 2013This album is no where near Marshalls as the accents can be annoying to some but I thought the lyricism that encore lacked was made up for in this album. This album deals with sensitive themes so do not listen to it if you are easily offended.

Jan 12, 2014My favorite album of all time , I for one actually like the accent's as he's rhyme scheme's are amazing , the darkest album of all time , and went threw hell and back, standout tracks are ... ALL OF THEM !!! A MUST HAVE, a classic, ive been listeing to the album nonstop for almost a year staight now and still not tired of it love it
-
Jul 14, 2019I used to hate this album...Now I love it. The accents no longer bother me and the 29 tracks fly by when ever I take a listen. There are of course a couple of tracks that could definitely be removed especially....'We Made You' but, tracks like 'Same Song and Dance' more than make up for any mediocre moments with its beautifully crafted beat and haunting chorus.

Feb 26, 2015I think that this album, 'Relapse' is far better than 'Recovery', 'Marshall Mathers LP 2' and 'SHADY XV'
Eminem is becoming worse.
Although it isn't a masterpiece and Eminem himself disliked this album, this was quite good. -

May 20, 2019This album is overhated in my opinion. Apart from the accent, the production is excellent, Em's rhyme schemes are really good, his lyrical content is also good
-
Dec 21, 2022In my opinion this is one of eminems best. I recommend buying the deluxe edition (Refill). It's a great horrorcore album which has moments of beauty & craziness. The production is almost flawless and still holds up all these years later.
It's 100% worth your time.
Recommended tracks: Deja vu, Beautiful, Same song & Dance, Insane. -

Mar 4, 2018It's not his best project, but it's not his worst project. I didn't like the rape jokes.

Aug 14, 2020beats are fire flows too but accents shoud go away i like the cover/theme some songs are annoying
like my mom, must be the ganja but i still like the album. -
Jan 24, 2020This album is so darkly twisted that i think its a masterpiece. Amazing sons throughout the album
-
Nov 3, 2021The man was literally so bored with the English language he wanted to rap with accents to play on words and make them rhyme differently...
-
Sep 3, 2022This is Eminem's best album. I don't understand how anyone can dislike it. Eminem's delivery is immaculate on every track, accompanied by some Dr. Dre's best production, and the album keeps a cohesive theme from front to back.
-
Jan 19, 2020A masterpiece in his classe. Horror,flows,crazy ideas and stuff that's only Eminem can think and said.
-
Jan 24, 2020Goat album. One of his best works. It is pretty underrated and a shame it was trashed when it came out.
-
Jan 22, 2020THE MOST underrated comeback album of all time. Relapse is an absolute masterpiece, and despite a rocky tracklist, it has aged extremely well. The storyline makes this possibly the greatest horrorcore album of all time. The rhyme schemes and flow are unmatched.
-
Jan 22, 2020This album shout every one facking mouth its was pure fire thanks agian em ❤️
-
Jan 22, 2020This is one of the most underrated Eminem albums out. Just listen to the wordplay and the way he uses that accent to create some of the best rhymes of the decade. Bagpipes from Baghdad is my favourite Eminem song.
-
Jan 22, 2020Greatest album ever

Jan 22, 2020This is my favorite Eminem album out of em all. He bends words well and uses accents which I personally like. Nothing to mention the rhyme schemes are AMAZING!
-
Jan 22, 2020One of the best album ever made. I listen to it since I'm a kid, and I won't stop to! Eminem is GOAT
-
Aug 7, 2021It is a great album. Best Eminem beats and hooks are on this one.
Best songs: Beautiful, Deja Vu
Worst songs: - -
Mar 24, 2020This album should already be a classic. It's the last real horrorcore, conceptual, perfect rap album we'll ever hear (since the world turned into PG). Dre's production was increadible, and Eminem was on his best lyrical mind. Never gets old. I hope people will wake up one day.
-
Aug 21, 2020the concept and production are just amazing , eminem's best work since MMLP , the accents in some songs can be a little off putting but the lyrical content makes up for it , songs like deja vu and beautiful are his best of all time and probably the best rap songs of all time
-
Sep 3, 2020It does have its flaws, but overall, I find it a great experience. The production by Dr. Dre is amazing, definitely has some of my favorite beats ever.
-
Sep 10, 2020Truly masterpiece.3 am,insane,hello,same song and dance,medicine ball,must be the ganja,old times sake,deja vu,beautiful,crack a bottle and underground are my favorites.This album is definitely much better than Recovery,MMLP2 and Revival.Beat,flow and lyrics this album is criminally underrated.
-
Dec 17, 2020Most creative and technical album. Em goes all out. Incredible rhymes, flows and beats.

Aug 2, 2021Relapse is catchy. Don't know what y'all on about in all honesty, accents are a little much but theres alot of character on what he was trying to do. Production is flawless for the most part.
-
Sep 4, 2021GREATEST ALBUM OF THE HISTORY WITH 2001, THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE the beats is incredible , is a horror movie in album of EMINEM AND THIS IS NOT FAIL , GOAT
-
Dec 6, 2021Ótimas músicas e consistência, muito bem apresentado o assuntos que envolveram ele nos anos em que ele ficou em clinica de reabilitação, a lírica feroz do Eminem presente em todo o álbum, e tem ótimos instrumentais.
-
Jan 11, 2022man this one of my favourite em's album because of the pen used in this one was so high that if eminem wrote a diss whit this style it will destroy that person instantly but also it talks about the dark side of fame and drugs
-
Mar 30, 2022Marshall Mathers god 4ever!,no excuse to say,he's the best rapper,why at least 75 characters?

Dec 1, 2022Absolute classic by Em. Listening to this in 2022 makes you feel nostalgic but I still hope to see a Relapse 2 one day.
-
Jan 4, 2023Good album , the production is **** crazyyy thanks dre , i cant wait for relapse 2.
-
Jun 9, 2023This is his best version. Subject matter particularly the "psychokiller" stuff is great and interesting
Awards & Rankings
-
Thankfully, producer Dr. Dre is there to temper the lyrical bloodletting, laying heavyweight hooks over even the most scabrous tales of family disturbia, and setting 'Bagpipes From Baghdad,' Em's inspired riff on rumored ex Mariah Carey, to snake-charming woodwind squiggles.
-
It's an impressively focused and clever work. But this music is not transcendent. It's still stuck in Marshall Mathers' muck, his fundamental mistrust of pleasure and love.
-
By letting Dr. Dre take over the low-end-funk production, and rhyming about things he actually cares about, he comes up with a more painful, honest and vital record than anyone could have expected at this late date, up there with "The Eminem Show" or maybe even better.
