Relapse by Eminem

After a long, long break from music — and sobriety — Eminem has returned with Relapse ($10). The newly-clean Em gets back to basics on this album, eschewing the trendy samples of past releases with clean beats from Dr. Dre, while funneling his feelings from several years of heavy drug use into some of his best rhymes since Slim Shady. Standout tracks: "Déja Vu," "My Mom."
