I think that decision will please hardcore Eminem fans, although I'm not sure how the more casual fans will react to it. Personally, I think it's the right direction for him to be moving. I actually wasn't a big detractor of "Relapse." However, one of my criticisms of it was that "We Made You," seemed too jokey to really fit the tone of the rest of the album. It seemed like, in that case Eminem felt the need to put the "obligatory" gimmick single on there, even though it didn't really jibe with the rest of the album. With this song though, I don't get that sense at all. That line on here about "Relapse" was interesting too. It seems as though Eminem is his own worst critic. But I definitely prefer that to him acting like "Relapse" was a perfect album. And the absence of the now infamous "accent" makes me think he is making a conscious effort to listen to his fans. Overall, I'm happy with the way this track turned out. I can't say Em knocked this one out of the park. But I would consider this a big step in the right direction. I liked the chorus. The beat was nice. And Eminem's lyrics were straight forward and to the point, rather than relying on accents or jokes about celebrities and pop culture. I hope the rest of the album follows suit.did we listen to the same album? You didn't think it sounded a lot more poppy than the tone of the rest of "Relapse," ? I have to say I thought the same thing about "Crack a Bottle," which is a shame because it was one of the few accent-free tracks on the album. But to me those two songs, while okay as stand alone songs, seem oddly out of place within the context of the album.well if you really want to go that route, i'm sure you can mention more songs from that album that fit the description?it's not like the rest of the album is darkQuote from: Laconic on April 29, 2010, 10:19:12 AMGood to hear Em using his normal voice again and spitting some worthwhile lyrics. However, the beat is very mediocre and the hook/bridge is just alright. But for real, why can't Em spit some relevant shit with Dre's team overseeing production duties? This beat is so underwhelming and disappointing yet he wants to make music that is more timeless. This ain't the one. looks like we're on the same page Quote from: Jaydc thinks Jesus is an Uncle Tom on April 30, 2010, 03:37:37 AMQuote from: I`m Wayne Brady bitch! on April 30, 2010, 03:17:34 AMThis is better than the entire Relapse album combined. You can hear that it benefit's Eminem to work with new producers. The beats on Relapse was mediocre and bland, and somewhat uninspiring. However, I think Recovery will be very goodIf the beats on relapse were mediocre and bland then that makes this beat the equivalent of someone farting for a bassline and another person hitting a stick on a can every few seconds.oh shit, you're getting more serious lately, jay! nice.agreed, simple Dre beat> this boring beat It seemed pretty dark to me. But it has been a while, so let's have a look see:There you go, Dreday. Just for you. My opinion on the whooooooole album. lol You were right right. There were a few more tracks, that in retrospect, I thought weren't dark tracks either. Btw, I don't think I've ever typed "dark" as many in trying to make a point, as I did just there. I still stand by my opinion though that "We Made You" and "Crack a Bottle" were the too most light-hearted tracks on the album. And they both seem poppier to me than "I'm Not Afraid."

But thanks for trying.What was wrong? Seems on point to me
