Eminem Relapse: Refill Review

Once again, I’m not a fan of rap music but sometimes if I hear something that is actually good, I will like it. My music taste is mainly metal & hardcore music with maybe some Chamillionaire thrown in for good measure.

Relapse is an EP I guess you could say, or perhaps an album of b-sides, I don’t know. These tracks (except Forever) were apparently cut from the official release of Relapse and now Eminem is going for a cash-grab with Refill in the interim before Relapse 2 is released.

There are some pretty catchy and awesome songs on this one. I had heard Forever ages ago and Eminem pretty much kills the entire song; Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne & Drake can get fucked as far as I am concerned because they pale in comparison.

Track 2, “Hell Breaks Loose” is no-doubt going to be a fan favourite. It has one of the most catchiest beats I have ever heard, plus Eminem’s flow is 100 times better than some of the tracks that on Relapse probably because he doesn’t use any foreign sounding voices and actually raps.

Track 3, “Buffalo Bill” is pretty average. Kind of sounds like it is trying to hard to be controversial and shocking. Basically a song about a guy who skins people alive and uses a chainsaw, etc. The lyrics are pretty funny to read though, hilarious song.

Track 4, “Elevator” this song isn’t that great at all, bored me right to sleep. Doesn’t have a good enough flow to be deemed an Eminem song in my opinion, but what the fuck do I know, right?

Track 5, “Taking My Ball” is not even worth a listen, don’t waste your time with this one. Eminem uses some stupid sounding voice on this one but not the same voice he used on Relapse though and drops some celebrity names like Christopher Reeves and Lindsay Lohan.

Track 6, “Music Box” this song is once again catchy and at the same time a disturbing song that paints the picture of a serial killer who eats his victims. This song has a really good beat behind it with a music box playing and deep bass that gets the speakers moving.

Track 7, “Drop The Bomb On ‘Em” is probably one of the best songs on the album. It has a catchy beat, Eminem’s flow is literally amazing on this one. The chorus gets stuck in your head after only one listen.

Overall this album isn’t that great, well I mean EP of Relapse b-sides. There are a couple of keepers on this, but nothing really on it that is worth buying. It’s nothing more than a cash in, but I guess you get that when you’re regarded as one of the best rappers of our time.
