Mar 1, 2020 Relapse: 9/10 MTBMB: 8.5/10 Recovery: 8.3/10 MMLP2: 7.7/10 Kamikaze: 7.3/10 Revival: 4/10 A very respectable discography. All of these albums had potential to be absolute classics tho because there are enough songs on each that could have been cut down. Except Revival tho.
Mar 4, 2020 Kamikaze is number one for sure, I feel it stays superb throughout. I don't find myself skipping any songs on this joint, except for "Nice Guy". Standouts: "The Ringer", "Greatest", "Fall" The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is next, because Eminem sounds secure on it. He sounds comfortable. The album follows a subtle theme: "Where am I thirteen years after my biggest album?" And I think he follows that theme well. Most people probably expected him to go all out and diss everyone...so, I'm glad he surprised us with a different take on this sequel. I'm also a big fan of the rock samples he used, because he meshes well with them. Eminem grew up in the 70's, a white American in Detroit, he would have been exposed to this type of music. He meshes well with it. Standouts: "So Far...", "Bad Guy", "Rhyme or Reason" Relapse is next. Surprisingly, this album comes off as more honest, and more revealing, than Recovery does...at times. He tries to hide it with a layer of sarcasm, and of course the bombastic Dr. Dre beats, but the truth is prevalent in his lyrics. I think this album beats Recovery mostly for the production, and Eminem sounds smooth as h--- on MOST songs here (unlike on a few songs on the successor). Standouts: "Deja Vu", "Hello", "3 A.M." Recovery would be my next pick. It's a good album that is damaged by a few lines here and there. The production is also spotty in some songs. But, otherwise, it's a good album. Eminem is once again revealing, and brutally honest. It's refreshing, because this time there is no layer of sarcasm. Good effort from a man who just got sober like two years prior, and wanted to distance himself from his previous work. That's about all I have to say about this one...I mean, I listen to it more than the next one on the list...so... Standouts: "Seduction", "Talkin 2' Myself", "Going Through Changes" I have a love/hate relationship with Music to Be Murdered By...I'm impressed with about three songs ("Premonition", "Never Love Again", "Darkness"), but the rest, I couldn't care for. Most of them just have uninteresting lyrics to me, except for the part in "Leaving Heaven" where he briefly talks about his father's death. Oh, that reminds me...the mixing on this album is weird, Eminem's voice is mostly overshadowed by the beat...I guess someone in the studio wanted to sabotage the album, or maybe they needed to do a double take. Standouts: "Premonition", "Never Love Again", "Darkness" Revival is last. Once again, like the above album, there's about three songs I like ("Castle", "Walk on Water", "Believe"), but everything else falls flat. There's definitely music for everybody here, kinda sounds like he wanted to appease the wide range of styles his fan base might be into...all in all, this album really shouldn't have even come out. It was obviously a result of the police shootings, Black Lives Matter protests, and general racial tension in the U.S. - not to mention, Crooked's line, "White rappers shouldn't stay silent" - lol, thanks Crook. Standouts: "Castle", "Walk on Water", "Believe"
Mar 4, 2020 1. Revival (Eminem's Most Underrated Album) 2. Relapse (The most hated album. Even Eminem does not love him. f--- him) 3. Recovery 4. MTBMB 5. MMLP2 6. Kamikaze (Eminem's most overrated album. This album offers nothing but diss tracks. Only 2 tracks of the classic, the rest is garbage.)
Mar 8, 2020 Recovery is so overrated, it is easily the worst after Revival. production has aged horribly, em is at his all time worst lyrically, it’s got a lot of pop garbage, the only reason Revival is worse is bc Revival mixes the worst elements of both MMLP2 and Recovery MTBMB Kamikaze MMLP2 Relapse Recovery Revival
Mar 9, 2020 Relapse Kamikaze MTBMB Recovery MMLP2 & then Revivals somewhere way down there where it belongs in the darkest, darkest pit of embarassment being the steaming sack of s--- it is.
