Relapse > The Eminem Show?

[SoldierShady]

Troll thread? o.O TES is obviously better. On to the next.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

In all honesty TES is better because he put his heart into it more. The only song on Relapse that resembled TES quality was Beautiful.

Where do you people come from?

I do respect a person that likes TES more than Relapse,but that reason plus you putting the word "beautiful" my dick!

and yea im one of the few who'd LISTEN to relapse over TES anyday.

Okay. I feel like Relapse had too much filler, with "We Made You", "Crack A Bottle", and "Old Time's Sake". There's not one song on TES that I can skip, and more songs on TES are in my top Eminem songs than songs from Relapse. I feel like Eminem put more effort into TES, and I like the beats on TES more.
Relapse has some great lyricism, flow is fantastic, and beats are pretty good, but I feel like as a whole Eminem tried a lot more on TES and it worked better.


All this is imo of course.

And again, I still love Relapse. I love all of Eminem's albums tbh.

Rex with them politically correct answers .

That offends me.

"T-Rex". My apologies.

TES, definitely. Relapse had too many filler songs and some flat-out shitty songs (Beautiful, Crack A Bottle) But I voted Relapse anyway.

He wasn't using the word, he was talking about the song "Beautiful".

"T-Rex". My apologies.

No, not that (although that did irritate me). The politically correct part offends me.

TES, next Fred.

[Emadyville]

the only thing better on relapse is the overall lyrical content based solely on rhymes themselves. TES is amazing and the best rap album of all time imo, and obviously ems best.

[EminemBase]

@EmBase, I pointed that out in the OP, but that is the best point so far.

Yeah... although, just to contradict myself for a moment, I think there might be something to be said for judging each album as a collective of tracks, and rating each on cohesiveness and quality...

It still doesn't entirely make sense in some respects as, how can you judge the lyricism of one, based on rhyming or ideas when the intended effect is not the same. I do think perhaps you could still judge the caliber of the rhyming and the tightness of flows and overall effect of songs though...

Maybe. I think I just prefer rating each one separately for what it is though.

Either way, I think The Eminem Show is by far his most consistent, most musically and thematically brilliant album and his best overall work so far. But I LOVE Relapse, and would prefer to listen to the tracks from that more-often now, they're so addictive.
