    Which body of work (considered as a whole) is better?

    I am comparing to encore because like encore, half the album was great and the other half was :vom:.

    Would you drop this at the bottom of his discography?

    Eminem in encore would make that in your head sample a classic song on the level of like toy soldiers.
    Encore is better

    Encore is trash
    No emotion in any song

    I wasn't a fan when Encore came out, but I can only imagine how shockingly bad it was at the time. Revival isn't as surprisingly bad, but is less cohesive and more bland, overall. Tough to say, but I'll go with Encore. Revival has grown on me slightly since yesterday though.

    Encore needs a little rearranging and its pretty decent. Revival has only 2 songs worth keeping. Encore's better by a very big margin.

    at least Encore's worst songs are produced by Dre. I'd bump Rain Man before bumping that pop s--- on Revival.

    And the best songs on Encore are incredible. I'd listen to Encore over this any day.

    Encore's good songs are leagues above the good songs on Revival imo.

    I f---ing hate Encore cause i can never rank it properly because its literally half good and half bad. Its bad songs are the worst songs of his career but the good songs are some of his best. Nothing on revival is worse than Big Weenie, Rain Man etc but nothing is better than Like Toy Soldiers, spend some time etc

    I agree they sound better than half the tracks on Revival thanks to Dre but content wise definitely not

    Yeah the sound is the only reason but still. Rather listen to good songs of course but if I had to chose.

    Encore songs sound so s-----y even few of the good ones, because of his lazy delivery.
