    just a bad albums

    it is just like his LP's so ya, but he talks up like half a key in almost every song, the songs he doesnt (beautiful, crack a bottle, careful what you wish for, ect) are realy dope though

    Love it

    Eminem came back with some good new stuff. I've always looked up to eminem cause he gave me more inspiration to work harder when i'm making my music. Dr Dre came hard with beats and I think almost everybody should here this music because it was just a well put together album. It's not his best work but I still think it's great.

    Great

    It does have great beats and lyrics. But Em drop the accent. Parents need to know like marshall mathers lp and slim shady lp it is a horrorcore album. The only scary tracks are 3:am, stay wide awake and must be the ganja (has ery beat). I hop relapse 2 is better. Parents unless your kid is over 15 (for explicit) don't buy explicit. If you listen at night with the lights off it's scary but at day it's fine.

    Perfect for Teens

    I love his songs because it's rap but i don't let my siblings listen to it or i don't play it when i'm around them

    Second Opinion

    Yah, the songs are really catchy. I recently reheard the album, and i found its not that great. It's sort of gross of what all the songs are about which include mainly rape and murder. Ya, theres nonstop swearing and some drug things (which you can excpect from eminem) but the rape/murder stuff was gross. Hopefully RELAPSE 2 will be better

    perfect for kids 12 and up

    of course eminem has lots of songs whit bad languge but he oalso sings songs for his lil girls....anyways kids 12 and up could listen 2 hos songs cause i think younger kids will imatate the words and his videos! {and well if u dont like ma opinion i dont care}

    Occasional good messages like "Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, but still, Relapse is not kids stuff

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

    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.

    Okay Album, but one Song takes it WAY to far!

    That Song, Is Insane. It involves him singing about his abusive parents, suicide at a young age, and rape by his Step Father. This is the only song that I find objectional in this Album. The rest, is okay: Kids would have already heard it all by 12. Even so, Insane does take it way to far, and for that reason, this is 16+ OFF.

    At first when i listened to this music i thought just about every song sucked but after listening to most of them a few more times they actually are very good-not at all for kids or teens-but still very good. Listen to My Mom and Insane...great songs

    Great album, but not for kids

    Relapse is a great album to me. I loved how it isn't as mainstream as his previous albums. Dr Dre should win a grammy for his work on this album. But overall due to the talk about rape, murder and drugs, definately not for kids. Almost every Eminem album isnt for kids.

    Awesome Eminem

    This CD shows that Eminem is definatly back! I am a huge Eminem Fan. This Cd is great and i love it, Especially the tracks, "My mom" and "Beautiful". However the Cd is filled with bad language and mature mature themes. "tonya" is a skit where eminem rapes a young girl, and there are songs talking about a stepfather sexually abuseing, and rapeing him. Overall it is and amazing Cd, just mature

    The only thing more nauseating and disgusting than this cd, is that most of my friends are listening to it. Ick.

    It's JUST music

    God! never did I think that CSM was THIS paranoid until I read this! What IS your opinion of appropriate?! I'm not even a FAN of Eminem and I think its fine! Anyway, If your an Eminem fan it is a must-buy, for it marks the end of his 4 or 5 year hiatus.

    Great Album

    Most of the Songs Are more tamer than Marshall Mathers LP. But there are some songs (that are bad): 1. Insane (the most innapproprite) 2. Stay Wide Awake 3. Same Song and Dance

    One of the best Eminem albums ever!

    I recently purchased Relapse the first day it came out and I loved it! Don't listen to commonsense sometimes because from The Slim Shady Lp to Encore,He has had a drug problem so he is probably trying to town down his music.Eminem is also making Relapse 2 in the next half of the year so I'm definitely bying it the first day it comes out!
