I'm new to this forum and I really want to add my opinion on Relapse, since you guys are talking about it. I love the album. I like Recovery a lot too, but when I finished listening to Recovery for the first time, for the first time ever I felt a sense of disappointment after listening to an Eminem album. Not so with Relapse. When I finished listening to Relapse for the first time, my first thought was "WOW! This is definitely his best since the Eminem show". I loved the crisp production and sick, twisted lyrics. I know, unusual for a girl. But I did. I loved the combination of dark subject matter (serial killer and stalker stuff) and unpredictable rhymes full of multi-syllables. It was original and fresh. I still feel this way about that album, and I don't care if Eminem disowns it or not. I think it's weird if any of you let his thoughts dictate yours. Be your own person. It's OK to like this dark, twisted, stroke-of-genius album. It was the Eminem comeback I had long hoped for.

And this ain't even the tip of the iceberg yet, it's like squirtin' a squirt gun in the ocean - fuck off!
