The album, voted the most anticipated album of fall 2009 by XXL magazine,[4] was announced on March 5, 2009 by Interscope Records when they announced the release date of Relapse and also revealed that a follow-up album, American Nightmare 2, would be released sometime in the second half of the year. In a press release, Eminem explained that he and Dr. Dre had recorded a considerable amount of music and thus, "Putting out American Nightmare will let everyone get all of the best stuff."[1] According to Angela Yee's Shade 45 interview with Eminem on April 23, 2009, American Nightmare will be a continuation of Relapse.[5] During the interview Eminem also confirmed "It's extremely close to being finished, it just depends on how many songs I want to put on it."[6] On June 25, 2009 Eminem called into Shade 45 and said he was in the studio finishing up Relapse 2 and expected a release during the fourth quarter of 2009,[7] with Rolling Stone magazine slating the album for a November 2009 release date,[8] but in November 2009, he stated that he would re-release Relapse, with extra songs, to hold fans over for the release of Relapse 2 in 2010.[3]
In another Shade 45 interview, Eminem explained that the album was more "emotionally driven" than the first Relapse record, which was, as he explains "[just] rap records".[9]
In an interview with The Alchemist, he confirmed a song titled "Insult to Injury" in which Eminem performs in his normal voice. He described the song as somewhat of a sequel to "Underground," the final track from the previous album, Relapse.[10]
When speaking to MTV, affiliate DJ Whoo Kid stated he heard some songs from the album. He confirmed that the song, "The Warning," a diss record to Mariah Carey, was not as intense as the entire album would be saying the album is 'maniacal.'[11]
On October 3, 2009, Eminem appeared on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid where he stated that a track with 50 Cent, in which the two rap together on verses, existed.[12] In the same interview, he also confirmed both Just Blaze and Denaun Porter as producers on the album.[12]
All song titles, notes, samples, writing and production credits are according to the album booklet.[13]
