Where will Em's next album rank with his other albums?

[Evil Twin]

I know at this point it will be hard to determine until we hear news or a single but we all know with the exception of whatever collabs he does, his albums always deliver in some way. Like we all know his albums have different sound so it is hard to imagine what kind of theme this new album will have. But don't we all have confidence in him? Even Encore, aside from it being his worst album lyrically and being on drugs and the leaks and everything, it did have some great songs on there so it's not like it was a huge disappointment and there are a lot of people like myself who love Encore for what it is, so simply my question is, where do you think it will rank with his other albums?

My order goes:

1. MMLP/TES (Changes depending on my mood but they're both amazing albums)
2. SSLP
3. Recovery
4. Relapse.
5. Encore
6. Infinite (Even though I have ranked Infinite last, I still love it. The rhymes are brilliant, very underrated album. I guess the production held it back)

Also I wanted to ask if you think it will be a classic or not?

[Trimss]

I expect it between Recovery and Relapse

[Sam.]

Looking at Post-Recovery, I say, um, below Encore.

[UofLCard]

I won't know until I hear it. But here is my rank-

1 MMLP
2 SSLP
3 Eminem Show
4 Recovery
5 Relapse
6 Encore

It'll hopefully fall somewhere in the 1-3 range.

[SoldierShady]

I don't see that post-Recovery flow going away any time soon, lol.

[RoleModel'Est96]

Lemme check the future and report back to you.

[Fa-Q]

I expect it between Recovery and Relapse

HAS to be BETTER than Recovery

[tadpole25]

it could be the next mmlp, but empirical evidence suggests otherwise

[Jimmy Conway]

1.SSLP
2.MMLP
3.Eminem Show
4.Relapse
5.2013 album
6.Recovery
7.Infinite
8.Encore

That's me being optimistic. If I base it off the god awful shit I've heard in 2012 I'd have to stick it in between Recovery and infinite.

[Trimss]

Lmfao

[Jimmy Conway]

1.SSLP
2.MMLP
3.Eminem Show
4.Relapse
5.2013 album
6.Recovery
7.Infinite
8.Encore

That's me being optimistic. If I base it off the god awful shit I've heard in 2012 I'd have to stick it in between Recovery and infinite.

wut

[Shady80]

I personally am not using his 2012 stuff as an example of what will come. I think it will be similar as far as style, which actually makes me really optimistic. Imagine Numb but with three 40 second verses, a good beat, and a good chorus. Id much rather have this style than the Recovery screaming over the sound of a repeated car crash. As long as he finds better content ill be happy

[Shady80]

Im gonna put it as number 4, behind the SSLP

[Supershade]

I'ts gona be a classic, no doubt.

[EminemBase]

Lemme check the future and report back to you.

I think he's gonna take the best of what he learned and the heights he reached on Relapse and Recovery and blend the two. If you listen to his BET Cypher it's kind of that, in terms of the psychotic content mixed with the new style and flow... I'm imagining it'll be smooth, tricky and dark.
