You know what, Recovery might be his best album in a way.

Stopped reading when you said Relapse > Recovery and his first two albums

[classthe_king]

Encore is amazing

No, it's not. It's terrible.

It is definitely not terrible, it has some bad songs for sure, but there are enough redeemable tracks to make it a great album, unlike Relapse in my opinion.

No album has enough good songs to make up for Big Weenie, Rain Man, Puke, My First Single, Just Lose It...I'm probably forgetting some more

[MikeNUFC]

^One Shot 2 Shot, Ass Like That, Mockingbird.

^One Shot 2 Shot, Ass Like That, Mockingbird.

Crazy In Love...the amount of shitty songs on that album just keeps going

[mh2k55]

In my opinion:

Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP and Relapse are alot darker and more aggressive, also alot easier to laugh at the lyrics he comes out with.

The Eminem Show, Encore and Recovery are alot more meaningful and alot of the songs on the albums have deep meaning to his lifestyle.

The Eminem Show, Marshall Mathers LP and Slim Shady LP will always be his best albums.

Although as I said before Recovery was above Slim Shady LP on my list, mainly because I can't stop listening to it lately, probably 'cause it's new and is a great album.

What tracks are redeemable?

The only track with replay value is Yellow Brick Rd and even that's nothing special.

Oh, please. That's just being overly cynical. You've gotta lower the bar a LITTLE bit if you even want to include any of Relapse

*Evil Deeds
Never Enough
Yellow Brick Road
Like Toy Soldiers
Mosh
*Puke
*Just Lose It
Mockingbird
One Shot 2 Shot
Encore

The ones with Asterisks barely make the list, but I would say that the rest are definitely solid tracks, maybe not quite on the level of some earlier stuff, but crap all over most of Relapse.

[MikeNUFC]

^Crap over Relapse?

Mockingbird better than Deja Vu?
One Shot 2 Shot better than Stay Wide Awake?
Encore better than Hello?

You're joking right?

[classthe_king]

Appleman, just stop

[Appleman]

^Crap over Relapse?

Mockingbird better than Deja Vu?
One Shot 2 Shot better than Stay Wide Awake?
Encore better than Hello?

You're joking right?

Crap over *Most* of Relapse, you chose to compare those specific songs. It's hard for me to think of as many songs from Relapse that would even fall under the same quality bracket as what I listed above.

The best of Relapse comes at the end with Deja Vu, Beautiful, and Underground. But you actually think that a few mediocre songs like SWA and Hello make up for shit like Medicine Ball, SS&D, B from B, 3am and MBTG? Even My Mom is almost intolerable due to that freaking accent.

[mh2k55]

All I said was Encore was amazing, I didn't even say it was better than Relapse...

I don't think it is... I think every album he's done is amazing, obviously the rest are alot better than amazing!

And look what I 'caused haha

[MikeNUFC]

Every song you listed is better than EVERY song on Encore.

Em was on drugs, had a repetitive flow and lyrically, the album was horrendous.
