No.
Pretty sure Solace was and still is pulling your pisser.
Anybody who properly analyzes or hears lines properly or knows the true mojo of his writing magic can hear it's the same guy. His topics have changed because he's lived a different life than the life he did on his rise to fame and during his peak of fame.
Different lifestyles produce different thoughts and therefore different lyrics, perspectives and extremities. But the core elements of his stamp are all still there. His only flaws of late are in trying to fit-in and write a certain way to be a part of this era.
But, you can hear all of the magic of Em's genius in bits and pieces on Relapse and Recovery.
And actually, a lot of Relapse - If we're talking about artistry and flair and... poetry, surpasses past material. It's just void of the same topical social satire or sting in attitude. Because it's about killing people, but it's so well-written and nuanced.
