What if Relapse was marketed as a concept album?

Beautiful was ruined for me at the end when the guy starts singing again and it is so fucking far off beat that it's hard to listen to. Ruined the whole song for me.

There's no direct one story or overall concept. But as you can see from the imagery right there... Eminem was in-character. As obviously, he doesn't chop women up and eat babies and carry a machete around with him.

that's what you think

people would have loved it, minus the accent and minus Beautiful and Deja Vu.....I guarantee it

Following things might have taken place if what you are saying happened :]
1> Kollo might leak it .
2>Numerous threads saying that this should have been on the album .
3>Hating at 1st ,then praising it after one month calling it a classic.
4>New member registering with that name Shadybeautiful and shit ....

It seemed like it kind of tried to play both sides, at first it was "his comeback album" which I'm sure heightened everyones expectations through the roof. After it was released and people weren't hearing TES 2.0, then it became marketed as "a concept album." As the concept album it is, and as an album in general, I love it.

I agree with OP,and wow, Tyler The Creator REALLY loves this CD

I think the fans threw themselves on this long awaited album without really knowing what was its concept, perhaps some people were disappointed because of that.

Interesting to read or re-read this again.
