Production on Relapse was phenomenal, but Eminem shit the bed big time. It wasn't just the accent, lyrically it was often appallingly bad. His gimmick of rhyming one word for every verse meant many of the lines were forced and subpar (if you don't know what I mean go listen to Insane, notice every line of the first verse rhymes with head, every line in the second rhymes with face off (or close to it) and every line the third rhymes with belching). It sounded like someone doing a mediocre Eminem impression. Em was quite a bit better on Recovery but the production was far less interesting. And it gave us Love the way you lie, so fuck recovery to death.
