[Chamillitary Click]

^Relapse sold because his name was slapped on it.

False. Relapse sold because Beautiful and Crack A Bottle were slapped on it.

RELAPSE all the way I like the PHYSCO SHOCK RAPPER Eminem way better.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Recovery wins for me. The shouting is annoying, the accent is unlistenable. And the songs are made better as well.

i think (relapse) was better than Encore, but it wasn't as good as Recovery.

I also said Recovery was good then too..lol.

Recovery is just as good but Relapse is just about 1000 times more interesting and compelling because it's the first record Dr.Dre has produced all of since 1999.

No flaws or complaints about Recovery, solid record with great and inspired raps, diverse and effective production but you can find 50 rap albums like that now. You can't find 50 rap records in the last decade wholly and totally produced by Dr.Dre (except for beautiful).

Not saying that it makes it better, but as a music aficionado, you want to see what Dr.Dre is doing, especially if he's working with one of his most prolific and masterful collaborators.

Relapse, kind of by default. Especially among this crowd.

^Na, I bet Eminem doesn't really think that. It's just marketing. Trying to make people believe that this (Recovery) is better then that (Relapse) & since his fans love almost anything he puts out, it makes it seem that much better than he can diss his own shit after they loved it.

Well, that reads like poor marketing to me since he went public with his dissapointment with Relapse at around the same time Interscope dropped the re-release. Em's hating the project really shouldn't have as much impact on public opinion as people give it. Artists look at music often from a very different light as fans. There's sort of a contradictory aspect to most fans that I'm sure bugs the hell out of most artists. They want their favorite artists to only make music that sounds like their favorite material from that artist. I think it's particularly difficult for artists out of the West. They can drop a mediocre G-Funk-sounding album that isn't creatively-inspired at all and people will eat it up and it call it a "classic" but if they move out of their safe zone and try something different, people bitch and call them a "sell-out".

Maybe to Dre stans but as a complete album I disagree. Lyrically its one of the least-inspiring albums ever.

Recovery and its not even close. I can't believe Relapse is winning by so much. Relapse is such a terrible album minus the Dr. Dre production. Eminem is so sloppy, all over the place The accent is so bad.

This shouldn't even be close. It's easily Recovery.

I honestly think Eminem doesn't like Relapse, he doesn't have to resort to marketing ploys to sell albums, Relapse sold well without many hits.

but he does resort to it, just look at his singles

it's just opinions. if the voters for Relapse said: anyone who voted for Recovery is crazy, then your comment would have made more sense
