    I've declared a statement. Do you agree or disagree and why?

    MMLP2's best songs:

    Bad Guy
    Evil Twin
    Groundhog Day
    Baby
    Wicked Ways
    Beautiful Pain
    Desperation
    Rap God
    Rhyme or No Reason

    All very decent songs to make for what I think is a 63% good album.

    I could see the argument. Feel like it's just has some REALLY. Bad songs. Recovery is waayyyy more consistent

    Disagree completely. Relapse is the 4th best album.

    This. Recovery is hands down easily in the #4 spot. I don't think there's any debate really. It's not as good as his first three classics but it's definitely better than everything else he's done.

    I wouldn't say worst, but definitely the most average and forgettable.

    We're talking solo albums only here, but s--- I liked Bad Meets Evil, Shady XV, The Re-Up, and both D12 albums more than MMLP2.

    I dunno... I'd say for me, Shady XV and MMLP2 are just as boring/forgettable as each other.

    Find it funny how many Recovery fans occured in SL & SXN80 after 2012. Everybody was hatn' the album. Can any of you really able to listen to Recovery from the beginning to the end without a break or skipping a song ?.. MMLP 2 is definitely more listenable.

    Someone just said Wicked Ways & a------ sound terrible. Well, a------ sounds terrible as much as 25 To Life or Almost Famous sounds. Wicked Ways is great even more easy to listen to than Love The Way You Lie to me. How can anybody say Recovery is not the worst produced Eminem album ?

    As for Studio albums? Id go MMLP > SSLP (just slightly over) > ES > Infinite (this is where it obviously starts falling off lol) > Relapse > MMLP2 > Recovery > Encore
