What did Dre produce on this album?
Really, I think if you read this thread and then go listen to it, your gonna probably like it a lot better than if you would have came into here after listening to it. IMO, it's obviously better than all the other mainstream shit out there (and smashed the shit outta Drake's album, but that was expected). I guess everyopne has there certain expectations for Em, but in the end, this is a pretty good album, even for his standards. To me it was just a little too repetetive, dissapointing beats and a different direction than any of Em's previous work which could be a positive.

I came in here reading the first couple posts before listening to it, and when I heard it I thought it was a lot better than what people make it out to be. I think its not great, it could even be his worst, according to his high standards as far as production or the replay value, who knows, but the songs I'm hearing are far from wack and better than most of the shit I'm hearing from other artists. He's kinda following Snoops path; started off with a couple dope ass albums, and from there on it's never gonna be the same again, maybe with a few exceptions on every release. People just expected some out of this world shit.

Actually, they were dissing Suge Knight in that song.

They knew exactly what they were doing sampling What Is Love, its SNL certified. They did it exactly FOR that reason.Personally, the album would be 200% better if Eminem never tried to sing, ever. That goes for all of his music actually.

He's got mechanical legs, he spins webs?I did make a mistake though; it was not Kevin Kline's character. It was Kenneth Branagh's.
You guys really need to go download Bob Dylan's first 5 albums. What's the point of debating music if all you like is the novelty of it. "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.
On a side note, dres production on eminems first two albums was brilliant, agree though ever since eminem show, dres work with eminem has not been great at all.
