I like Infinite. It's like proto-Eminem. If you go into it just looking for pure rhymes, it's a decent listen. He doesn't have the personality he has in his next three albums, obviously. But it's interesting to see just how meticulous he is as a person when listening to Infinite in juxtaposition with his next three. His skillset has always been there, as evident in Infinite, but you can 100% tell he looked at Infinite and decided to go a different direction, with the result being the Slim Shady persona and subsequent LPs. I think Infinite is necessary when looking at Eminem as an artist in totality, and tells a lot about him personally. He's David Bowie.
