Right?
What upsets me the most is that NO ONE told him to do that, he didn't have to. It's something that he CONSCIOUSLY did.
Recovery was a reactionary effort to Relapse, just like Marshall Mathers LP was a reactionary effort to Slim Shady LP, only problem is that Eminem's reaction to Relapse was to compromise and please people.
His reaction to Slim Shady LP was much more aggressive and angry, like "oh yea? fuck you! how about I make an album that'll offend you even more than my last?"
His reaction to Relapse came off as loud and angry as well, only it was more like he was upset at himself.... like "oh yea? fuck you Marshall, your last two albums are fucking garbage because some faggots on the internet say so!, I'm so sorry guys, I'll make an album that I believe you guys (and contemporary radio) will like!"
He should've just came out with that same anger and frustration aimed at fans, critics, other rappers, etc. etc.
......I have a feeling that's what we are getting with MMLP2, the album he really wanted to make but didn't have the balls to back then.
I totally agree with that! Hopefully that's what we get with MMLP2. But I also feel so, because I hink BERZERK is something he wanted to do and not because it could be successfully. I also think that there's nobody who could told Eminem "Hey make MMLP2"
and to the whole discussion about which albums better than the other. I think that's hard to say. My opinion is that each Eminem-Album has top-tracks and bad tracks. I just love the whole TES & MMLP.
BUT I can hear through the whole Encore and still I like it. For me Relapse is much harder to hear through all the 20 tracks, but I can

with Recovery I absolutely can not! A mixture of RElapse & Recovey (the never released Relapse2?

) would be a great LP. To Encore: If he had put We As Americans, Love You More, Canibitch, Bully, and the later FACK, Shake That & When I'm Gone instead of some tracks (Big Weenie, My first Single, Ass Like that, maybe Rainman and Evil Deeds) it would also be a classic one!
