Eminem- Recovery

The Bullet · 08-07-2010, 09:17 AM

Well, after listening to the album all the way through a couple of times, I voted decent. I was deciding whether to vote good or decent, and then I told myself to be a critic. Anyways, I have to say, while a good third of the album is filler, the rest ain't bad. My personal highlights were the first three songs, Going Through Changes, and 25 To Life. I had a fantastic first impression of Not Afraid, but it never hit me anywhere near that hard again.

I've never really been a fan and when I decided to give the single "Not Afraid" a genuine chance I found it really lackluster and generic. Is this true for the rest of the album, because at the moment I'm really not motivated to listen to it.

hmm pretty much the entire album is that generic

and i actually have listened to it my mom played it in her car one day while we were driving around in omaha

I find this record the proper return to form that I think was needed for him. Relapse may have been a good, almost allegorical, representation of his struggle with addiction. But this album, along with his return to the airwaves seems really symbolic of a successful triumph over addiction - which in itself is beautiful.

Musically, he passed the test. The beats are all solid. He stills murders tracks.

And I absolutely love the album cover because it really seems to capture what I'm experiencing aurally.

I voted decent, definately better then relapse.

The Bullet · 09-26-2010, 06:01 PM

I remember voting "desent" a while back. It's grown on me a lot now, though. I'd vote good if I hadn't already voted, for sure.

Certainly an above average album, but it's a bit of a shame that the track getting the most airplay(The Way You Lie) is one of the worst tracks on this.
