    But Encore is still a better album then any on this list. It’s highs are still light years ahead of anything after it and the lows are still better than a lot of the lows on his newer albums.

    I f---ing love Kami, MMLP2 and Encore but Recovery... maan Recovery just have a special place in my heart. Its not that the album is 10/10, just the era we lived in. Simplier times, going to the high school, came home jerked off, played some game and played recovery. Thats why it will always be in my top three.

    In order...
    Kamikaze
    Recovery
    MMLP2
    Encore

    Kamikaze had that anger and energy that made him famous in the first place.

    Recovery, I liked the more mainstream sound. Maybe not all the pop features but he's a pop star and he honed onto that persona on this one.

    MMLP2, I keep thinking I may like this more if it had a different name. But ultimately the rock infused sound I couldn't stand.

    Encore. Yes, half of it was good. But the other half was so bad it made it overall awful. Coming off that 3 album streak and the stakes were high - he couldn't have fallen off more if he tried. I happily admit I was one of those people that genuinely thought he released a bad album as a trick to fool leakers and then release the "real" album on the actual release date.

    Easily Kamikaze. Feels a bit like an EP tho but still the most coherent sound among those albums and probably the best production with best he sounded (again just among the albums mentioned)
    I'm not even sure which one of the rest is better than others. Encore has amazing stuff but also his worst songs too. MMLP2 is all over the place with the sound, some songs like a------ rapped terribely and that production is the worst thing I've ever heard. But there are also many gems. Recovery is too poppy, more coherent sound but some filler songs that actually don't sound good at all. The thing about Kamikaze is the whole album sounds better even the weaker, filler tracks...
