It wasn't, that recovery or relapse shit was worse.

Definitely.

Relapse was the end of his career for me.

 

[AColdDay]

Agreed, either Encore or Recovery.

How the fuck is his production so consistently poor now. Somebody in this thread mentioned that he could have anybody produce a song. The variety in the production in hip-hop right now is ridiculous, and we get what we get from Em. Kind of sad.

An Eminem album produced by Kanye would be incredible.

Yeezus is maybe one of the worst albums I have heard from a major artist in quite some time...

So much truth in one comment, gotdamn.

 

[northead]

I prefer it over both SSLP (woo!) and Relapse.

Evil Deeds, Never Enough, Just Lose It, One Shot 2 Shots, Encore, Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers and most of all Yellow Brick Road are just amazing.
And, albeit crazy, pointless and stupid as they are, I love Rain Man, My 1st Single and Big Weenie too.

I liked encore overall it's not the best thing or anywhere close, it was just a catchy, poppy album, but I also don't think you need to resort to hyperbole when speaking about something you don't like.

Edit: I thought my teacher was a liar when he said people used to attack and riot with each other during older (Beethoven era) concerts, but looking at this thread I wouldn't be surprised if a fight broke out if everybody was saying their piece in person lol.

I feel that Relapse is a worse album than Encore, but they are both terrible albums. I have never been able to listen to Relapse from start to finish in one sitting, it is just too damn boring. Encorse was horrible, but at least it was entertaining in certain points. Hell I can't remember any song from Relapse besides Crack the Bottle, and even then the only thing I can remember is the chorus.

For me Em's albums from best to worse goes

MMLP>TES>MMLP2>SSLP>Recovery>Encore>Relapse

 

[antikythera]

Definitely.

Relapse was the end of his career for me.

Relapse opens with:

You're walking down a horror corridor
It's almost four in the morning and you're in a nightmare, it's horrible
Right there's the coroner waiting for ya
To turn the corner so he can corner ya, you're a goner, he's onto ya
Out the corner of his cornea, he just saw ya run
All you want is to rest cause you can't run anymore, you're done

That verse is just the beginning. It's a fantastic album for sure. The crazy pictures he paints, the stories, the flow, the rhymes. You've got to hear the Refill too, since it has some of the best songs.
