    The only album imo that is bad is Encore (Solo albums only)

    For the most part it was a terrible and lazy effort with small glimpses of promising songs but unfortunately as a whole the album was overshadowed by the negatives.

    A lot of people complain about how bad his post hiatus albums are, here's my evaluation

    Relapse is an acquired taste but it feels like a concept was there along with a pretty good effort by Eminem, there were a few stumbling blocks but overall I would give it an average rating.

    Recovery hit a wide commercial market and even though it seemed like he did a 180 with his career, he still managed to excute a good and compelling concept.

    MMLP 2 feels like a bit of a messy album with a mixture of highs and lows but the highs give it an average to good rating for me.

    Encore tbh. Relapse is good for what it is, Recovery bumps, MMLP2 could be top 3 depends if you rate it higher than SSLP

    Encore is his weakest but not a bad album. I still enjoy every track apart My 1st single and Big Weenie

    Encore was an example of Eminem giving up and losing whatever motivated him during his prime

    His post hiatus releases to me may not be great albums but they are definitely not bad

    Shady XV seemed like it was purely a promotional album with recycled songs and a few gems

    One of the most forgettable releases

    How do you rate Encore above MMLP2?

    no bad or below 6/10 album.
    Encore and Relapse have some bad moments and are rather average albums but not bad
