    Relapse is overhated, people simply don't understand it, it's not just random edgy lyrics with accents, together the tracks tell a cohesive story.

    His "choppy" flow isn't ideal but I'll take it over the yelling or accents all day.

    Haha! Wouldn't go that far. But it is debatable.

    I still think Recovery is his best return album. Has some awful songs but some of them are really good. On XV I'd say the most played have been Fine Line, Lose Yourself, Twisted, Psychopath Killer, and Vegas

    Recovery is still his best work since 8 Mile.

    Imo there's a few really dope songs on this album but it's nothing special at all.

    im partially with koolo on this, only to gree to disagree. yes i find this batch of material, more thought out, less cringe worthy punch lines and full of substance. die alone gotta be abot kim; he aint reviisted that topic in some time. fine line is my personal favorite, it s got some realness to it . and he finally nailed the f---in mcdonalds line!! shady xv is impressive but lacks motive, he is murdering bars but its leads up to nothing. Yelawolf showed to play with marshall as i see he preformed second best otta everyone, third royce. but in terms of koolos sequence i choose recovery before mmlp2 ,relapse , BME, refill,. but i dig it, its not too much material to over saturate this style based around cypher type format.. just run with it

    Too me I find Relapse more enjoyable than the other 3 albums. I don't think Shady XV and Recovery are bad albums, I just prefer Relapse.

    Not sure if I would go that far. The non-Eminem artists brought it down quite a bit.
