HipHop is alive baby...
Larrabee:
There are 2 bonus tracks on the iTunes deluxe version release, surprised they haven't leaked yet.

The reason I prefer Recovery over Relapse is because of the substance. On Recovery he is actually talking about stuff, spitting crazy rhyme schemes and becoming reflective with vulnerable lyrical content. Relapse was amazing flow and innovative style, but no substance at all. Of course it rhymed well, but mostly those were not real rhymes and the accent was the reason why it sounded fluently rhymed.
Also, Recovery has more diversity to it. You got tracks talking about Love in a way that is real and far from corny and I can strongly relate to ... you got tracks about him being frustrated because noone puts him up with the cliché top dogs, you got tracks where he gets cocky talking about him being sublime to the rap game, something he never did before until very recently.
And this is definitely the least commercial Eminem album. Of course it is not some underground Canibus shit, but still the least commercial Eminem album. By far even. You will definitely see far less 13-year-old girls bumping this than you did with Relapse or even his earlier CDs.
I personally prefer the more serious and reflective style to comedy rap... or weedsmoking, drinking 40s and clapping niggas rap.
But that is a personal perforation... either way, if you don't like the content, you still have to acknowledge that his raps are skilled, very much so. Personally, my main problem with this CD is a) he sings too much and b) the beats are far from as good as you would expect from Just Blaze and Dre, or any Eminem/Aftermath-Album for that matter. But hey, that gives it a more lyrical vibe and as I seem to like the content more than most people, that can be turned into a plus.
For instance, I love Space Bound... I can relate more to it than any rap song I heard during the last few years - plus the rhyme-chains are off the chain, the flow is full of emotion, energy and speed variations. The hook is a bit weird, but it fits the vibe of the song.
There's also some decent word plays... not amazing ones, but still good. From what I recall off the top of my head:
But I swear, you try to diss me, I'll slaughter you
I put that on everything, like everyone does with auto-tune
or
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane/pain
or
And while I'm being poetic, let me get a stork
And raise the bar higher than my opinion of these women has been lowered
or
like a "fuck you" for christmas
His gift is a curse
or
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap/wrap
Anyways, even if you don't feel anything of what I'm saying, to call this CD "whack" is a bit retarded.

Dre helped make the album feel so cohesive, something that is missing in 99% of rap albums

I do love his shit, def my fav rapper. But that doesn't mean everything he puts out is good.
I hate people who build cases off sigs and shit. Some of the smartest music fans I know love to show pride in their artists, but are also the harshest critics, and far from dick riders.
