    I'm not gonna vote, cuz I still don't know what to think of Recovery. All in all, it's a good album, but its weak points to me are way worse than the weak points in his previous albums. Before, he'd have a couple goofy "Real Slim Shady" type tracks, which weren't even that bad depending on the mood of the listener. But Recovery had some corny pop tunes. I mean like, put your lighter in the sky while you hold hands together Twilight soundtrack type corny. I'd rather have a good laugh at a goofy accent than listen to some ? that sounds like something Miley Cyrus turned down cuz she's trying to shed her Disney image. This album ? me off cuz it's not bad, but Em can do better. A lot better.

    I don't get how introspective can be labelled Pop yeah you can say it was catchy or the song had elements of mass appeal but a song where the Lyrics are introspective, their is a personal story, passion and just raw from the heart expression is never Pop.


    Isn't the fact that an introspective Song is actually catchy at the same time a bonus since that is the hardest thing for an Artist to do?


    I think it more so comes down to you just not liking introspective music or catchy music just a matter of your taste which is why most people thought it was a great album and why it was so succesful. It has sold over 6 million and is highly praised by alotta listeners

    When people call Recovery "lyrically fire" it makea me think their heads would explode if they ever heard shad

    It depends on your definition of Lyrical

    People who think Rapping with a message about cohessive issues making the listeners relate to your Lyrics, expressing your story, your deep thoughts with great Word Play love Recovery and think it is Lyrically fire in the same way 2pac fans enjoy his music like that and think it is Lyrically dope


    Then there is those who like Lyrics with out a message just non introspective Lyrics and think that is Lyrical because words are just being rhymed for the sake of it


    So it all depends on what the invidual likes and appreciates Lyrics wise and Musically but the fact Recovery was so succesful those who like the first description i stated as far as Message and meaning loved Recovery it sold well over Multi Platinum.

    Take away Won't Back Down, Cold Wind Blows and White Trailor Trash Party of the Album which were the only below par Songs on the Album and you have an even greater Album cos the rest of the Songs on the Album aside from those 3 were great/classic or good


    Production is the biggest flaw on the Album


    Going Through Changes was pure brilliance and the Album had other gem's like this Song

    Content and Lyrics = 10/10

    Flow = 10/10

    Production = 4/10


    As far as Content, Subject Matter and overall Emotion it is his second best Album after The Eminem Show

    Just strictly based on Content and Subject Matter it's his second best Album but overall The Marshall Mathers LP is his second best


    What makes Recovery was great is almost every Song had a message and is something people relate to, something written real deep but what let the Album down was the Production from Just Blaze, Alex Da Kid etc


    Imagine Recovery with the great Production Em's earlier Albums had then it would have been epic

    haha @ yes it is ass & no it is not ass.... but anyway in no way are Eminem Show and Recovery equal that's some redonk ? going on haha but yes I do not think it's total ass compared to his previous albums.
    Recovery does bring a different Eminem to the fray. Maybe he did sell out, I dunno people say that. I think he grew up like a lot of us do. Do I think it's his best album? No. I do think it's think it's a good album.

    Ah I could write a more convincing argument but I've had like three hours of sleep right now.

    based on content and subject matter.... I gotta ask ya, why is "serious" content more acceptable or better than humorous?

    Both The Eminem Show and Recovery are personal introspective Albums were he Wrote about deep issues he was going through both Albums were heavily built on emotion/passion and just message. Nn The Eminem Show he was Rappin about Politics, Social issues, his troubles with the law, his love for his daughter, his troubled child hood, coming from a broken home, his relationship with his wife were as on Recovery he was Rapping about beating his drug addiction and domestic violance in relationships and relationships in general but what makes them similar is basically the fact they are both intospective Albums with a personal message.


    What made The Eminem Show flawless is the fact it also had really great Production and the best Hooks Em has ever done

    It's an undisputed fact that the best hooks on that album came from Steven Tyler and Nate Dogg respectively.

    Say Goodbye To Hollywood and Cleaning Out My Closet were the best Hooks on The Eminem Show


    Throw in the Superman Hook in there too

    How is the MMLP worse in content when it has Stan and The Way I am on it? Not to mention the emotionally unparalleled Kim track.

    That's 3 tracks though with great content compared to 15 tracks on Recovery with great content


    You had an Album with The MMLP that had 3-4 tracks with that kinda content where as on Recovery you had 15 tracks with that kinda great content

    Which ultimately led to the albums biggest fault: redundancy.

    In terms of content diversity, recovery ranks among the lowest of Eminem's albums.

    Well the many people that love Recovery will say it's cohessive and that's a great thing that an Album can have a cohessive sound and feel


    That's also why The Eminem Show is a classic not just for how amazing it is Musically but the fact it was also cohessive in sound and message

I mean like, put your lighter in the sky while you hold hands together Twilight soundtrack type corny. I'd rather have a good laugh at a goofy accent than listen to some ? that sounds like something Miley Cyrus turned down cuz she's trying to shed her Disney image. This album ? me off cuz it's not bad, but Em can do better. A lot better.

    I don't get how introspective can be labelled Pop yeah you can say it was catchy or the song had elements of mass appeal but a song where the Lyrics are introspective, their is a personal story, passion and just raw from the heart expression is never Pop.


    Isn't the fact that an introspective Song is actually catchy at the same time a bonus since that is the hardest thing for an Artist to do?

    Aite... on the Eminem Show, that was a perfect example of introspecive and personal. Say Goodbye to Hollywood and Cleaning Out My Closest was vintage Em. His own sound, his own direction. But when you go from that to "I'm not afraaaaaaaid"... what the ? was that? Then he (or Just Blaze for that matter) literally sampled a techno song for No Love... how much more pop can you get? One of the most ridiculous technos songs in history at that... word to Night at the Roxbury. I respect him getting personal and introspective and all that, but when the music sounds like some ? my little sister would rock while jumping on her bed with her friends, I can't ? with it. But maybe that's why the album was so successful, he knew toning the sound down would bring in younger listeners... this isn't 2002 anymore after all. Again, good album lyrically, but the music... ugh.

    He always made Music like on Recovery he had Rock Bottom and If I Had on his debut Album. I think Songs like NOt Afraid are specfically for people who been thrugh situations and personal struggles in their life so if you haven't been thru that i don't think you could understand feel the record like those it was intended for. I think Eminem knew macho people or people who are insecure about their masculinity will knock the Album label it soft not knocking you Lab just speaking generally, but Em doesn't care he was just doing him putting his heart and pain on wax and his true fans liked it.

    Just my opinion
