    Underrated:

    Hello
    So Far
    Music Box


    Overrated:

    Stronger Than I Was
    25 To Life
    Beautiful

    Before I catch flack for the overrated list, I want to make it clear than I don't just think they are too well liked among fans, I also think all 3 are f---ing horrible songs.

    I just
    hello.lyrics are alright concept is good, never enjoyed the beat or the flow
    so far.agree
    music box.agree

    this is a pretty unusual overrated list
    stiw is exceptional and so are haillie's song and twisted. also all of the stiw lyrics have several different meanings not sure if you've considered this
    25 to life referenced the female/hiphop metaphor, that's a pretty big deal
    beautiful was made while he was in rehab, has a goat sample and is definitely better than hello topkek

    horrible is a huge overstatement imo. have you ever even tried making a song? the ones you listed are all pretty personal and are far from "f---ing horrible" dude even if you don't want to understand them and want to think that too many people enjoy them. beautiful especially. he didn't even know if he was gonna live or die when he made that and to say it's appreciated too much? not cool tbh

    but it's all good

    so far is very underrated and so is music box

    Underrated:
    My Mum
    Hello
    My Darling

    Overrated:
    Bad Guy (The second part is flawless, but the first part is boring as s--- and severely drags it down)
    Beautiful ( Mostly outside of here, its peoples favourite song on Relapse regardless of the emotionless first two verse)
    Brainless (While lyrically good, the flow used ruins the song for me)

    By emotionless I meant in terms of delivery not lyrics. It makes the first two verse bland. The third 3rd verse is great though. He should have re wrote them so he could deliver them better rather than using the lyrics from 2005, it could have been a much better song. Also the chorus is way too long IMO

    the whole project could have been a thousand different things tbh

    from production on down the list there's so many choices that could have been made
    that focusing on them all seems like a waste of at least my time. the niqqa almost died be glad there's an album to discuss

    I give relapse slack because no one should have to go through that s---
