The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Rating thread

Relapse is really underrated, I just hated his voice/accent at some moments on the album but in general I was happy with it and always thought the critics we're too harsh with Em, just like I think Recovery is a great album and still cant believe there's alot of people saying its mediocre.

I voted classic.

I agree with this, if by classic you mean that it sounds like one. But otherwise, you are wrong. Relapse is not a classic in the real meaning of the word, what makes an album a classic is it being
1. close to perfection (Relapse and MMLP2 achieve that)
2. approved by the majority of listeners (Relapse fails here)
3. still relevant years after its release

decent

9.5/10

[1LynguisticMind]

The bonus are great but they are what they are, bonus songs, they're not on the album.


the album is a solid 7.5

[JeunePadawan]

With all my respect giving the album a 9.5/10 is a dickrider note lol !

MMLP2 deserve not more than 8/10. Which is still a really good album.

But guys I understand I love Eminem too he's my favorite.

[Trilla]

Relapse was perfect. The production, the hooks, the lyrics, the flow, the delivery...even the accents.

I think I'd take the accents over his choppy flow.

"EXIS---TED?!"

7/10 = Average album.

I thought I read you say you hated this album? Or was that someone else I'm thinking of.

Classic.

I was hoping this would be better than Recovery. I didn't expect this to be better than Relapse. This is definitely his best since The Eminem Show.

[shadyVA]

I said classic and I haven't even listened to the bonus tracks yet which I'm hearing some good things about. I want to save something for when I go buy my hard copy!! But this album has so many great moments that I think it will be a classic.

[JamaicanPattlez]

Hahahahah sometimes I wonder how the fuck you put your clothes on in the morning.

Bread of albums.

[CanadaPure]

Shit's fucking wonderbread.

[VINTAGƎ]

For me he has three classics -- SSLP, MMLP, TES
Two very very very solid albums that can become classics in time -- Recovery MMLP 2
One I dislike -- Relapse
One I hate -- Encore

I don't count infinite so from those 7, I love 5 of them. 5 out of 7 is not bad at all.

By that logic Britany Spears - Baby one more time (29 million) is one of the best albums ever

And Nas - Stillmatic(2 million) is terrible bottom tier album.
