    Recovery. MMLP2 is his worst album by far even though it had that godly bonus disc.

    Recovery has way too many low, low, low points for the decent stuff to put it above something that's pretty consistently mediocre like MMLP2

    MMLP2. Recovery is a decent pop rap record. Very safe, very generic, kind of corny in some instances, execution outside of a few tracks isn't great.

    MMLP2 while it doesn't come any where near its predecessor, Eminem was at least able to bring back some characteristics that once made him so great. There was some degree of clever/wittyness, rhymes didn't sound as forced and actually sounded effortless on some tracks (Baby, Brainless, Groundhog's Day etc, he quit the whole shouting/double time flow for the most part.

    MMLP2 is just consistently better all around, I don't understand how people can praise Eminem's earlier work endlessly but then turn around and claim Recovery is better than MMLP2. There are clear characteristics that you can find in his older music that are in MMLP2 as well.

    My man I'll have to disagree with u here, which saddens me all of a sudden because you have one of the GOATs in your avy, but, as long as someone justifies his opinion it's not hating imo. If I say Rap God sucks then i'm hating, but if I say Rap GOd sucks because the 2nd verse has lines like ** or ** then it's not mindlessly hating. Not saying it sucks, I just couldn't think of an example rn so I picked Rap God. Ofc Narsh has some weird criteria regarding music, but he's given Em his fair share of chances, it looks like his post 2005 music is just not for him? Idk just my 5 cents

    You say that Encore is widely regarded as a classic, I ask you to explain yourself, and you provide me with a link whose second paragraph says (and I quote) "No one can argue Encore is a classic." Those aren't my words, that's literally what the article says

    You can't be real

    If I'm being honest, I thought MMLP2 was a good album when it first leaked. Maybe I was caught up in the new Eminem hype or something, but I legit though it was his best album since TES, Since it leaked I've probably listened to the album 2 or 3 times. The replay value on this absolutely sucks, songs that I thought were good sound horrible now and it really has aged badly.

    Recovery, though not amazing, holds up ok in comparison. Songs like Space Bound, GTC, Seduction, Talking 2 Myself, even Cold Wind Blows, s--- on the majority of MMLP2 in my opinion. If I'm honest the album is pretty underrated and I'd take a Recovery 2 over the sound of MMLP2/Shady XV style Eminem in a heartbeat.

    What's your thoughts?
