The Case For Encore>Recovery

Postby viper50 » Jun 22nd, '10, 22:45

Please take a minute to spaz out and rant about how I have no taste, am not a real Eminem fan, etc. Done? Okay...

1st off, I never hated Encore, I actually love it. I don't get why people (and Eminem) hate it. It's sick, just like all his albums. I'm gonna compare the albums now (with bonus tracks)...

-Comedy: Encore wins
Rainman and Big Weenie are hilarious. Plus, Eminem lost his "funny" voice on Recovery. Even when he tried to be funny, it just wasn't the same.

-Lyrics: Encore wins
WHAT? ENCORE HAS BETTER LYRICS? Yep. It does. Recovery has sick series of rhymes like in On Fire and WBD, but that's radio freestyle shit. Despicable had my jaw dropped, but I don't want that shit on an album. Encore's lyrics were much more focused on the song topic (minus the obvious screw-around tracks.) "smash an hour glass, grab the sand, take his hands an cuff em, spin around to freeze the clock, take the hands of time and cuff em." Yeah, sick lines, but what's he saying? That he's sick. We've known that since SSLP, he's beating a dead horse. Plus, Recovery went overboard with the punchlines. Clever, yes. Meaningful, no.

-Emotion/Personal Tracks: Tie (but I lean towards Encore)
Talkin' 2 Myself/Going Through Changes/Not Afraid/You're Never Over/Almost Famous are matched by Evil Deeds/Yellow Brick Road/Like Toy Soldiers/Mockingbird/Ricky Ticky Toc

-Banger/Club tracks: Encore
Encore/Never Enough/Never Enough trump W.T.P. (The only track on Recovery that has any dance potential)

-Love/girl/Kim tracks: Tie (Again, I lean towards Encore)
Seduction/Space Bound/So Bad/LTWYL are matched by Puke/Spend Some Time/Crazy in Love/Love You More

-Tracks where Em just spits n’ spazzes: Recovery
No debate here. Recovery bonus tracks are enough evidence.

-Flows: Encore
Encore had much more diversity, and I really just liked its flows better.

-Beats: Encore
Encore. Way more unique beats, and they just came together to make a more coherent album. Eminem should have given Dre WAY more tracks on Recovery. Bad choice buddy.

-Voice/delivery: Encore
Eminem’s voice has changed and gotten deeper. He can’t help it, but I like his old voice better.

-Features: Encore
Dre/50/D12/Nate Doog are classic. Don’t mess with it. I know 50 has fallen off and Nate’s dying, but I’m just comparing what’s on the albums. Slaughterhouse is ill, but they didn’t belong. Make a Re-Up 2.

-Skits: Encore
Kinda obvious…

Other: Encore
I miss Paul. I miss Ken. I miss Eminem not giving a fuck and never apologizing. I miss his sarcasm. I miss the “Dre” sound. I miss Shady. Encore has more diverse topics (example:Mosh). I loved Encore basically.

Okay enough of me playing Devil’s advocate. Go ahead, bitch away Stans…

Encore just isn't good. Sometimes artists make things that aren't quality. Encore has some good songs, but overall it isn't good. The majority of Eminem's caralog is great, but you really can't make an arguement for everything.

They claim that I'm violent, just cause I refuse to be silent
These hypocrites are havin fits, cause I'm not buyin it
Defyin it, envious because I will rebel against
any oppressor, and this is known as self defense
I show no mercy, they claim that I'm the lunatic
But when the shit gets thick, I'm the one you go and get
Don't look confused, the truth is so plain to see
Cause I'm the nigga that you sell-outs are ashamed to be

I know. Recovery wins and Encore loses but, that doesn't mean Encore is bad

First time I agree with this man
