I don't listen to Eminem all that much and I view his work pretty differently than most people do. Despite Encore's lacklustre production that sounded dated by the time it was released and Eminem's new artistic choices that repealed many people I thought it was his best work for the simple reason it genuinely captured an artist at a crossroads. I've never listened to another hip-hop album that self-reflective about their career. Many tracks as dismissed as meaningless seem to have gone over people's head. I do recognise that some of them don't make for great replay value but their role in the album is rather vital. I'll listen to both,The Eminem ShowEncoreI enjoy about half of Relapse.I don't listen to either MMLP or SSLP though there are two songs I bump from each Amityville & I'm Shady. So, basically, out of Eminem's discography the tracks I'm still bumping today are:AmityvilleI'm ShadyRain ManBeautifulThe Eminem Show I can listen to nearly any track and not feel the need to change it though there are one or two I get bored with.
