EMINEM - RECOVERY (Official Discussion)
Conan:
Bumped it a lot today and in the midst of writing my DUBCNN review. What I will say in here is that I feel that, beneath the "I'm back, it's the old me" veneer, Recovery is a really inappropriate title. From a personal standpoint, Em sounds like he's in one of the worst spots of his life. I guess that helps me to understand why "Not Afraid" sounded so forced and oddly insincere, despite its strong(ish) lyrics.
To take a line straight from the draft of my review, it worries me how Eminem's career trajectory so closely mirrors Elvis'. What was once a running joke now looks increasingly like a grave concern.
I love what I've heard and Em is as vivid and involving as ever, but when he's this troubled that's almost to a detriment. You're really left hoping that he can pull himself together and find solace. I realize that to a lot of people who found Relapse underwhelming, Recovery could be taken as a reference to his MC skills. But, again, emotionally Em seems far from recuperated.

spun for the 3rd time, it's really good lol.
i personally feel if there was no production credits & we didn't know who produced anything, people wouldn't be complaining; i can't name a bad beat off the top of my head besides "Not Afraid".
& the Rihanna song was actually pretty ill.
i feel like some of you are being pretty critical; go through ALL the other album discussions & most of you usually just write "oh, this is hot" or "this is trash"; that's exaggerration, but you know what i mean, you don't give HALF the effort in a review; but this, now we're debating if he's making music from the heart & if it sounds real, etc etc.
if you're not feeling the album, the vibe it sheds or whatever, that's one thing; but to go out of your way to call it "trash" is a bit much lol.

Man this is fire ;D and I don't say that lightly. I really really like this, damn strong songs on here
Even Lyrical G likes it ;)
