EMINEM - RECOVERY (Official Discussion)
Meho:
Finally got the time to check this, just listened to the first 5 tracks; Cold Winter and Talking To Myself are great, really great. But On Fire and W.T.P. are average. Will listen to the rest soon and drop some thoughts later on. I don't think that 320 rip is legit btw, just re encoded.
And oh, that Kobe hook is the shit, never though him and Em could work

"It's got a good beat I can bump to it". If music doesn't speak to me I don't want to hear it. That being said, nothing on Recovery "speaks" to me. And I don't mean some pseudo serious diatribe about changing the world. Just give me something real, and I'm sorry but Wild Wild West ain't it. If it's not coming from the heart then what is the point. And I don't just mean lyrics.

Kill You isn't from the heart and doesn't speak to anyone. As a matter of fact most of Eminem's music isn't intended to be taken seriously. I don't see how you can feel that way and still be a fan of Eminem considering a lot of his music is made for its shock value.
Music is music because of the way it sounds. Lyrics that "speak to you" won't make a song a good piece of music. You also need it to sound good. While I agree that the best songs can do both, production is always more important when it comes to music. Real lyrics over shitty production doesn't make better music than "fake" lyrics over great production. After all, if it were just about the lyrics we might as well all go and listen to spoken word artists and forget this hip hop nonsense.

You clearly did not understand my point at all. Re-read my post and then play the link I added and then get back to me.

Didn't see your link cause I have flash blocker on. Now that I have, it makes even less sense. You go from talking about Dre and Em rapping about a movie to the theme song from Pulp Fiction?? Where you are going with this?

I just downloaded 320 version, not too much difference on my headphones, I guess you are right. Probably just re-encoded. Drop the info when VBR comes out or real 320.
Cold Wind Blows is great indeed.
Blood$:
after one listen, it's a decent album... much better than Relapse in terms of lyrics, flow, and subject matter but the production wasn't as great
tracks I'll bump for now:
Cold Wind Blows
Talkin' 2 Myself (Feat. Kobe)
On Fire
Going Through Changes
Not Afraid
Seduction
No Love (Feat. Lil Wayne)
So Bad
Almost Famous
Brown Guy:
I listen to it lastnight and today. Its growing on me. I like the feel of the album and enjoy the shift. I think that Rihanna song is going to be a big hit.
I think this album has a shit load of cross over songs that can be played on TOP40/HipHop/Rock stations.
4.5/5 for the whole album
