Eminem If you really think about it, Relapse is a classic LP based on the theme. It has historical value

    Oh I know I know another Relapse thread. But NO, hear what I have to say. We all know Eminem rapped the h--- out Relapse. We know his stuff was fire. What do most of us not like about the album? Obviously it's the accents.

    Let's take a step back and look at this with a more open mind and let's try to look for any internal meaning that you might be missing. If you're an Eminem fan, you know that Eminem went through so much after 04. So much that even Kurt Sutter wrote Southpaw and based it on Eminem's life.

    Relapse is the cohesive album that you guys all say he needs to make. Sure, it had Crack a Bottle. And We Made You. But overall, the album is cohesive. It sticks to a theme based on where Eminem was at in his life and the thoughts he had in his head, when he was ''relapsing.'' If anything, Beautiful, We Made You, and Crack a bottle balanced the album out just like Stan balanced out MMLP.

    So yes looking back in hindsight, Relapse is pretty amazing. It represents the most significant and intense moments of Eminem's life, followed by his RECOVERY. It represents a time period that was so intense that Kurt Sutter wrote ''Southpaw.'' And it is a cohesive album. You probably should embrace the flows and accents too because without them, we wouldn't be able to distinguish it from the other albums. It only proves that Eminem is a genius and stays true to himself.

    But this also proves that Recovery is a classic as well, because it's the follow up. Going Through Changes, Talking To Myself, Not Afraid, and Never Over are all very important songs you must embrace if you are an Eminem fan.

    As far as MMLP2, I'm not sure I can say the same.. It didn't really have a theme, but seemed a little more like a gimmick, since they were selling it based off the nostalgia of the first LP. Both didn't really seem to have anything to do with each other. So there's a little bit of a disconnect there..

    Revival is a classic though. Sure, it wasn't cohesive. But if you take off certain tracks it is... The quality is there.

    that's a question. I'll never understand why you don't make threads or want to read my thread. I don't understand it. This is an Eminem forum. I'm a big fan and I do think my opinion matters.

    Would you say that just because it's not cohesive? You don't like these following songs?

    Talking 2 Myself
    Going Through Changes
    Not Afraid
    Almost Famous
    Never Over
