Recovery is much better no matter how uncool it is to say

That being said, Relapse production is worlds better

I mean black

Relapse easily. It's not a perfect album, but it has some of his best lyricism and storytelling. The best part easily is the production and mixing by Dre, though. Stay Wide Awake is a perfect example of Relapse at its best, even with the inclusion of the infamous eccentric accents.

There was a lot of trash on Recovery. Even though the highs were pretty solid, with a handful of songs like Going Through Changes, No Love, Space Bound, Seduction, and On Fire.

Also the fact Ridaz was only included as a bonus track on the Deluxe version perfectly displays Eminem's unbelievable lack of discernment.

It has one of his best flows on the album, no cringe punchlines, his vocals aren't compressed to complete s***, and exerts confidence without the overblown shouting. Also produced by Dr. Dre. It easily could have been a track on The Eminem Show.

I felt the same way hearing Discombobulated at the end of the deluxe to his last album

Like, wait…you could do this the whole time?
