Aug 31, 2017 The buildup to Recovery was pretty epic, Warning, Forever, Drop the World, Despicable, Westwood freestyle, hype for that 50 and Em song as a sequel to Underground and so on. Probably the last Em album i genuinely was hyped/believed could be great. Shame it was such a fucken let down, it's actually not as bad as I remember it tbh lol, but it is the most non "Eminem" sounding album. Everytime I think a song might be decent/good he throws in a horrible punchline that I cringe at It did spawn a new generation of Eminem fans though, being the biggest album in the U.S for 2010.. so I guess it played a role for him. Wonder how it will be received years from now, I do seem to know a fair amount of people (White and black lol) who like Recovery (Outside internet forums etc).
Sep 5, 2017 I honestly loved encore. Then I joined a forum and found out people hated it. I was shocked. Relapse was garbage though. Recovery was meh. How you gonna release a single that involves singing in the chorus that you can't perform live? I didn't bother listen to anything else afterward.
