    I feel like I disagree with every Arch Dogg post ever but this isn't that far from the truth actually. Difference is Encore should be a lot lower (like a 3/10) and Recovery needs to be knocked down a few points as well (MMLP2 level).

    Record sales have nothing to do with an album being good. Plenty of s-----y artists have insane record sales. The concept of recovery was good, but poorly executed.

    If you would've asked me what his worst album was years ago I would've always said Encore with no hesitation. I appreciate it more now because it has a few of the best songs of his career on it (Toy Soldiers, Mockingbird, Spend Some Time, etc). If you replace the goofy/joke songs with the bonus tracks it's actually a pretty solid album.

    Very good album. Can't believe he followed up with MMLP2. Not a single listenable song on that piece of s--- . He's back on track(as much on track as a post hiatus Eminem can be) with GOF and Fine Line though.

    Definitely not classic, but it's still a very good album.
