[UofLCard]

A bit off topic, but I see lot's of Infinite hating in this thread.

imo, Recovery is better than the two combined

I sue hope it is.

For good reason.

I love Infinite,

I just can't put it on top of MMLP, SSLP, TES or **Relapse**. Beats Encore, IMO.

Relapse is way better than Encore. fuck complaining about some accent. Relapse was raw creativity.

I duno, he has also said that when he listens back to Encore he hears a lot of self-loathing in there.

When & where did he say that?

I'm pretty sure he said it more than once but here's the link to one interview where he said it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/may/17/eminem-urban-music-relapse

Part where Encore is talked about:
AB: Are you saying that Encore falls short musically, lyrically or both?
Eminem: It feels a little too self-loathing to me. When I go back and listen to it… it just feels like I'm pissing and moaning about whatever. It sounds like in my head I feel like I have all these things to piss and moan about. And maybe I did, maybe I didn't, I don't know, but to actually bring that kind of shit to the forefront like that, I just don't agree with it. I guess to me now it feels like I beat up the subject of what was me. That's what that record's overall theme feels like. Even Curtain Call feels like that was me then and I guess it was. That is where I was at then.


I'm positive he also said the same thing in another interview around the time of the Relapse promotion - it was either one with DJ Semtex, Tim Westwood or possibly another interview. But he definitely said it again. Kamilniewulis could probably tell you better than me.

Holy shit. I've never seen that before.
Thanks for the link!

So he called Encore "shit" and Relapse "ehh".
That means Relapse>Encore.

How can some people put Recovery before Relapse? We just have a single, you can't do anything with that. Seriously, if Recovery is horrible i will laugh at your face. But I hope it won't be !

So, just wait, do your "Relapse > Encore" things but don't put recovery on it. Please.

They're just messing about.

Expectations based on his new material. Also, hopes and dreams.

Relapse is definitely superior to Encore, but they both were disappointments to me.
