    So my friend and I were discussing Em's discography and noticed a trend of symbolism and themes throughout his albums. In light of the album name being revealed as Revival, we came up with the Trilogy theory

    LP Themed Trilogy- SSLP, MMLP, MMLP2.
    Show Themed Trilogy- TES, Encore, Curtain Call.
    Re Prefix Themed Trilogy- Relapse, Recovery, Revival.

    With this being the completion of the Re Trilogy could this be his last album?

    You can’t count Curtain Call as an album lol

    And I doubt he’d name his last album Revival

    I feel the only direct "sequels" to his albums come in two's.

    The Eminem Show/Encore
    MMLP/MMLP2
    Relapse/Recovery

    SSLP, stands on it's own as well as Revival will

    I don't know about a trilogy theory but he does keep running themes with his albums, just a coincidence it's 3 imo.

    Well Curtain Call is still a stand alone release from him. I could see him dropping a final album relating to Infinite some sort of way

    bs again. No way it's big last album. Also curtain call is not counted. U can't simply ignore infinite and put curtain call there. There ain't no trilogy s---. It's just eminems naming of his album typically. He either calls them by his name and something like MMLP sslp TES or a word that can mean a lot for the theme of the album or himself at the moment like encore infinite recovery relapse. Revival is no surprise...

    Why would u expect him to do that ? He doesn't even wanna see the producers of that album and also that album never gets mentioned with others in em s catalog.

    Because whether you like it or not it's still his debut album and knowing him I could see his last album playing off of that theme

    I always pictured his last album being a revisit to Infinite, doesn't seem like something that Eminem wouldn't do.

    I said this before but not as trilogies.

    Each album has a pair...

    MMLP - SSLP
    TES - Encore
    Relapse - Recovery
    MMLP2 - Revival (both sequels in name only)

    Will be fitting for him to name his last album as a "pair" to Infinate.
    Never thought of them as trilogies though.

    i don't want this album to be anything like he's made before, it better not be a sequel to Recovery or linked to MMLP2

    I never thought about it either until last night. I would like to see his final album play off of infinite in some type of way

    Why not? MMLP2 was the first time we saw a direct sequel. SSLP is nothing like MMLP and the same can be said for all pairs. All pairs are in name alone.

    Well, I actually like it. But I can't see him revisiting Infinite on any of his albums. Maybe he can revisit in a song or two but not the whole album.

    Actually only thing I can picture Em doing on last album is either all talkin about where is at life and his legacy etc. But more likely he'll never stop rapping so he will never actually have proper last album theme if u know what I mean.

    That album is virtually unknown outside the most hardcore Eminem fans and/or hip-hop fans. No way he does that.

    Ehh I wouldn't say no way he doesn't do that. it makes sense to me with that being his debut album and playing on that for the final. If anything it will bring the attention to Infinite that it deserves
