Recovery makes no sense. Eminem trying to make an uplifting(ish) album with out-of-place features by ****ing Rihanna is pretty much the most self-indulgent, unselfaware thing he's ever done. Even if Relapse is just more of the same that he's always been doing, he's doing it ****ing well and putting old schtick in an actual interesting context with the whole "drugs make me an *******" metaphor.

And the production on Relapse is just insanely badass. Dre 4 lyfe 'n' ****.
