This is a quite offensive CD for Eminem. But it's not all that bad. Relapse is good for teens 14 and up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the effect that listening to songs that celebrate raping and murdering women might have on young listeners The songs are fiction, but do you think it's easy to get wrapped up in the message and have trouble separating fantasy from reality?

one of the best albums of the year
eminem is back in the most violent and profane album the first song 3:am a dark black comedy serial killer fantasy includes graphic descriptions of drug use then comes the album which includes the jaunty singles my mom we made you crack a bottle and medecine ball along with old time sake's however as fun as those songs are only one of these songs don't feel beneeth him that one is medecine ball a fun twisted the album sucdceds when he plays the joker scene in the dark knight when that's on display the album is just pure poetry.the wordt of these poetic song is same song and dance a disturbing song the best of the songs is beatiful a deep thoughtful look at his life. there are no duds on this album even same song and dance which makes me cringe i listen to it becausethe album throughes a spell over you making album hipnotically listenable overall the album is pure poetry. download this one medcine ball

Great music
There is alot of stuff in this album that certently isn't for kids in my opinion. Personally I am 14 and none of the songs on this album bothered me at all, not even Insane. Maybe that's because I've heard all that stuff before. Anyway I'd say just know your kid before buying this album. It uses some strong language and uses some strong sexual language as well. depending on your childs reaction to other stuff, like R rated movies etc. Does he repeat that? As far as stars, I say 5. The music is great. Eminem has always been one of my favorite rappers. This may be his best album yet in my opinion.
