mmlp>>eminem show/sslp>>>>>>Recovery>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Relapse>Encore
After the initial listening phase passed out etc, i think a 7-7.5/10 is a pretty fair score to this.
D-Nice:
Nice album. Not his best but definitely on point.

Cham, I know we've been bickering about Recovery and a bunch of bullshit but why do you think this? I've heard people say his punchlines on Recovery are dope. I wasn't sure what they were talking about. Could you cite examples?

Some of his punchlines are relatively weak; like "Put down the scissors and cut the crap". :-X
He has some corny sounding punchlines, like "You can get the dick, just call me the ballsack, I'm nuts" & "Listen garden tool, don't make me introduce you to my power tools, you know the fucking drill" & "Stick my dick in a circle, but I'm not fucking around" that's weak.
But...
"When I'm not even in my harshest
You can still get roasted because Marsh is not mellow" - "No Love"
"Sayin you sick quit playin you prick dont nobody care
Then why the fuck am I yellin at air
I aint even talkin to noone cause aint nobody there
Nobody will fuckin test me cause these hos wont even dare" - "On Fire"; I dig that.
There might be a few more, I don't remember off the top of my head.
Anyway, punchlines & metaphors aren't what I consider lyrical; to me, it's more about the topic & it's message or not.
Space Bound is lyrical for the content he spits, not his little creative way of spitting it.
& Relapse had flat out weak songs like, "Hello" & "Medicine Ball" those songs get love for what Dre did, but Em didn't really do it for me there.
But as I look back, I liked almost everything else, so maybe I just haven't done a fair look back at Relapse; but overall the better songs on this album are better than the better songs on that album.
I think I gave Relapse a 7/10, so basically they're tied lol; but if asked me which i prefered, I'd say Recovery.
Action!:
Yeah, I prefer Relapse but I definitely see the flaws in both albums.
His hook writing on Relapse > his hooks on Recovery

Agreed, but at the same time, the hooks on Recovery didn't bother me/ruin the song for me; except on "You're Never Over".
