Eminem Albums (Hurt/Heal)

[4Corners]

I feel both have really strong tracks.

Recovery: Cold Wind Blows, On Fire, Going Through Changes, Seduction (Em goes HAM in this), Almost Famous, Untitled, and the dope bonus stuff on Ridaz and Session One.

Encore: Never Enough, Yellow Brick Road, Mosh, Like Toy Soldiers, Spend Some Time, Mockingbird, and the bonus stuff on We As Americans and Love You More.

But what Recovery doesn't have is absolutely horrendous stuff like Big Weenie, My First Single, Ass Like That, and Just Lose It. Even Recovery's worst cuts like You're Never Over, Love the Way You Lie, Not Afraid are light years better than that stuff.

Is Encore's solid production enough to make up for those 4 records.....not in my opinion. And when you gauge the albums lyrically, Recovery is much better overall. Encore, Ems rhyme schemes were simplified for much of the album, probably due to heavy drug use.

I don't hate any Em album. I enjoyed probably 3/5 of Encore. I consider Encore a decent album with some great stuff and horrible stuff. I consider Relapse or Recovery solid albums, personally. And I consider his first three GREAT.

Relapse isn't near as good as some of you say it is. Its substance is wack. It's like oh cool, at first. Then seriously gets old quick. I like listening to it when I'm thrown off, but never would on the regular. Kinda gay. Just saying. Em isn't the GOAT either. If you think Em is the GOAT, you're probably a young white dude. He's released 2 great cds and one good. 2 shit ones and 2 sub-par ones.. Jay has released 2 great cds and 6 good ones. The Roots, 6 GREAT cds.. Nas 3 GREAT cds 4 good ones, the list goes on...
