Marshall Mathers LP.
I like the one where hes on his porch and the one where hes at an alley.
I could do without the one where hes got his hand on his forehead.

Well...

The Slim Shady LP - Creative, great tie-in with one of the best and most original songs off the album. It's slightly spoiled by the writing of the title though. Whilst this acid-inspired style obviously bodes well with the theme(s) of the album, it's just not strong enough to look striking in front of all that colour.

The Marshall Mathers LP - Due to the album itself being considered a modern masterpiece, the cover looks / feels very monumental and important. I'm not entirely sure if that's almost purely due to the aforementioned reason though. In my judgement, it's a dark, fitting cover anyway and I like it.

The Eminem Show - Perfectly illustrates the point of the album... Aside from that, feels a bit boring but it does the job regardless.

Encore - Ergh... Read previous.

Relapse - A more creative effort again but the picture used is a bit generic. I feel they could have done something a bit more artistic with this idea. Perhaps a collage of him laying flat out on the floor (overdosed) with his hand and empty pill container being the only things in photo / colour realism.

--

Overall... I'd probably go with The Marshall Mathers LP.

There is 3 different versions of the MMLP cover. Which one are you referring to?

@HappyPigeon - I didn't say he did. But I was trying to decide my favourite as I was about to post and I like to provide reasoning.
