Oct 11, 2018 Not classic, but retro. Would you consider Relapse or Recovery retro now? They are 8 to 9 years old. They aren't new by any means. I think most would consider Encore pretty retro now. It's 14 years old. Crazy how when Relapse came out, Encore was only less than 5 years old. Now a lot of us think of it as a classic due to time. Would you consider MMLP2 a modern Eminem album, even though he has came out with 2 more since then? MMLP2 is now 5 years old. I believe that Relapse is right on the borderline. It's like PS3ish.
