Guess who's back? And guess who's still recycling the line "Guess who's back?"
To be frank, we've experienced more challenging guessing games in our time. Anyway, this is the return – or rather the relapse – of Eminem.
I'm Having a Relapse opens with a sample – "Torture chambers, secret passageways, vats of acid and deadly vaults" – taken from the John Borowski docudrama about creepy hotel torturer HH Holmes. At only two minutes long, and with a sparse Eastern backing track, it's not exactly the most commercial record Mr Mathers has made. And it'd be fair to say that a lyric about choking an 18-month old baby is probably a little bit too try-hard in the shock department. Still, who else can you turn to when you want to hear "panic attacks" rhymed with "mannequin's ass"?
