Eminem - Recovery

Eminems last two albums have been disappointing so its great to see him back with some good tracks.

Oh wow, the wordplay and flow is amazing on this song.

I love the rihanna song tbh, it's going to be a massive crossover song.
I've only listened to it once through, but that and some other one stood out

I bought the album straightaway when I realised it was out.

I partically like not afraid, love the way you lie and at the moment, I think this is an amazing song:

His metaphor is amazing and his rap from 2.55 - 3.07 is absolutely amazing.

I heard this album was leaked?

yeah, like a week before it was released.

gonna be honest; i think it's awful.

I'm going to buy the album soon, I love all of Eminems songs

Really can't understand why so many people will happily listen to Eminem and then claim not to like rap. No, he doesn't sound so different from everyone else that he can be a separate genre, and no his lyrical content isn't that different either if you look around enough, so it's really just ignorance.

Personally, I can't get excited about this album. Haven't listened to it all but what I have heard doesn't make me want to, especially when there's so much stuff out there that's better both in terms of production (which I think is very weak on this album and his last) and the rapping itself. Eminem fell off years ago when Proof died, it's great that he's still going and got over it but other than for the fact that he's already a huge name and is on the list of rappers that white people think are acceptable he wouldn't be having big sales off this.

yeah, i see what you mean. i'm more of a rock/metal guy, so i dont particularly like rap, i only listen to eminem because i grew up listening to his first couple of albums, especially songs like the real slim shady and without me, and really enjoyed them. although saying that, i dont mind 50 cent either, and like snoop dog and the main rap artists, its just id rather be listening to my metallicas, and my bullet for my valentines.
of course, i agree with you on the standard of the album, he'll never match those first albums again, because of everything that hes been through, but i would say the new album is at least worth a listen.
