    So many fun rhymes, great hooks, great beats, feats by Dre and 50,... Classic album.

    But when I'm not in the mood, I go back to Recovery for something more grown.

    It's true. Nostalgia is a trip. Either way, Eminem was right when he said years later you'd call his album a classic in Be Careful What You Wish For. It happened with Encore too. I hated Encore for a long time, but I kept on going back to it for some reason, trying to like it. Every time I listened, I hated it less. And eventually, I came to love Encore, to an extent.

    When I hear songs such as'' Be Careful What You Wish For,'' now, I think of it as a classic, retro song. But at the time I didn't think it would ever be a classic Em song. Because all these years passed and I'm reminiscing, I now miss Eminem from Relapse. Songs like ''Beautiful'', ''3 AM,'' and ''DeJavu'' are brilliant. Eminem went pretty hard on that album.

    I think part of the problem is Eminem set the bar too high with his first three albums and 8 Mile. It was all just too good to top. Other rappers don't have to rap about anything in specific. Money, hoes, and cars are all they have to rap about. With Eminem, you expect more and more content from his life. He has to become more creative just to match half of our expectations. Think about it. On the SSLP and MMLP, was he really that creative? We didn't know anything about him, so he had all kinds of material up his sleeve.

    If you really think about it, Eminem actually got more creative after coming back from his hiatus. Relapse was pretty creative. Recovery was something new. ''Not Afraid'' was deep. Then he even made an MMLP2. Revival was conceptual and he tried something totally new with ''Walk on Water.'' He attacked his critics on Kamikazee. I'm not sure what to think about M2BMB, but he did come out with 2 albums in one.

    Why does Relapse have its own thread and also sticky, while no other album has this?

    Spatula Relapse is a masterpiece

    It's in a league of its own. A unique album and should be outside of any ranking system.

    I agree Relapse is a classic. I used to dislike only Underground and Medicine Ball ten years ago but now I love them, meaning I love the whole album.

    Was hoping we could assemble a g--- to harass Paul and/or Em On Twitter/Insta to Release a Vinyl Record of the refill tracks, even if they get a third party like Limited Run to print a few limited copies.

    I always liked Relapse. I enjoy the horrorcore s--- a lot, so that album was right up my alley. I was later quite disappointed to see the overwhelming criticism of this album's childishness, silly accents and horror themes push Eminem into more or less the exact opposite direction with Recovery (which to this day is my least favorite Eminem album, together with Revival)
