    This has been brought up in multiple threads. Lets see if it is to the majority opinion.

    IMO it is. It put Eminem back on top of the rap game. The dude was everywhere at the time and popular as ever. The music was amazing, the concepts were new. The wordplay was great, flows were impeccable. Beats were different and good. Slim Shady was still alive and so was marshall. It was one of his most personal albums. yeah, classic imo fam.

    It's not a classic, just a good album.

    It's not a classic actually if you compare it to some Essentials like Illmatic, The Blueprint, Built 4 Cuban Linx, Liquid Sword, Ready To Die especially The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP & The Eminem Show but if there are any classics released in last 5 years, Recovery might be one of them.

    It's a near classic

    Would have been a classic if it had better production but it's his worst produced album ever

    Yes, very much so. 25 to Life, Going Through Changes, Space Bound, and You're Never Over are some of the best songs of his Career

    Decent. Not as bad as some make it out to be, but not even close to being a classic.

    Good album with some truly great/classic Eminem songs
    People underrate the f--- out of some of his work on his post hiatus albums
