I cut my toes off and step on the receipt before I foot the bill  Wouldn't back down ft Pink

Well his beats choice are surprising but then i think his flow saved him for most part.

My instant switch frm distant relatives to this album will definately affect my judgement of this album so i may have to let this one grow on me.

Almost famous is my most favourite track for now though.


Now get off my dic.k, dic.k's too short of a word for my dic.k
Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism you prick!
Don't call me the champ, call me the space shuttle destroyer
I just blew up the challenger, matter of fact, I need a lawyer
I just laced my gloves with enough plaster to make a cast
Beat his backside unclothed and pee'd in his corner like Verne Troyer
Ya'll are Eminem backwards, you're menime's
See he's in a-whole-nother weight class, his slugs your BB's

I don't know why I haven't been able to get past the 2nd track everytime I try to sit to listen to it. I haven't been really bored recently. I should give it a listen soon enough. . . I really like Relapse, so if it's better I should have any problems with it. Unless the beats are bad.

Yeah, that's the one I'm gonna get. I saw an interview where he said he put 12 tracks that were meant for the original Relapse 2 on the 2nd disc. So that's over 30 tracks on one fukking album!!!
And yeah, Slaughterhouse are gonna be formidable now that they're gonna be signed to Shady. G-Unit should move over jor. Lol
Re: Eminem's Recovery Album.Please rate by chiogo(f): 6:25pm On Jun 23, 2010
Haven't really gotten into many of the songs. I guess I'll grow into them.

For now, my favorites are You're Never Over, Not Afraid, Going Through Changes, and Talkin' 2 Myself(since when did Kobe start singing? Still don't like him angry).

Can't rate right now but my guess is maybe a 7/10 undecided

Re: Eminem's Recovery Album.Please rate by mayor007(m): 9:06am On Jun 24, 2010
"I'll break it down track by track and then leave my overall impression of the album.



1. COLD WIND BLOWS



Here we go again. Right off the bat, Em spits a fiery, aggressive track proceeding to go onto his usual "commentary" on what spoiled, rich people are all on an off about. this really reminds of his work from MMLP, SSLP, and "The Eminem Show".



2. TALKIN’ 2 MYSELF FEAT. KOBE



Kobe Bryant? Nah, Kobe, they guy form some "Fabulous"

or "Fabolous" album apparently. It's some rehab-type motivational content, with a very Shady uprising shock. Em confirms he's back to spitting, as if we needed to know this.



3. ON FIRE



Em rapid-fires while complaining to critics taking out Brooke Hogan. LOL, but still a decent track.



4. WON’T BACK DOWN FEAT. P!NK



Eminem spews venoms witticisms on the hard rock beat pretty yet inexplicable chorus. It's like one of those actions scenes where the bad*** hero goes on a killing spree. It's just pure, raw, uncut unadulterated AWESOME!



5. W.T.P.



Why not? You hear Shady nearly dropping down to that Relapse accent as he pokes fun at white boy suburban lifestyle in "White Thrash Party". But it's loaded it's hilarious moments.



6. GOING THROUGH CHANGES



"Let's take a trip back to '73, before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' CD." Not quite so far, Em had a whole bunch of multi-platinum CDs when he was struggling with addiction. Em takes you back to the night he overdosed on pills. I loved the Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne) sampling, it fits perfectly here.



7. NOT AFRAID



This song seems like a sequel to Relapse's "Beautiful" and it pretty much sums up what this album's all about. How Em's back on track with his life, this one's a winner. It's a excellent pick for the first single and sets the tone for the rest of them. I loved how he rapped over the piano solo, that might have been the high point of the album.



8. SEDUCTION



Slower and more methodical, Em explains how he attracts women with his rap music. This doesn't sacrifice his lyrical ability at all. If fact, if the amount of women he seduces relate to his wordplay, then Eminem would be a P.I.M.P (note the 50 Cent reference).



9. NO LOVE FEAT. LIL WAYNE



Who said Wayne was garbage? This dude really can spit decently if he wants to and isn't getting into that auto-tune rock garbage. Anyways, they both drop dangerous and clever bars showing their dominance on the mic and on women. It's completely insane how they incorporate a dance track but it works. The chorus was absolutely crazy, the changes between the voices seem rigid but strangely in harmony.



10. SPACE BOUND



Shady left me speechless after this song, it's completely vulnerable and captivating. It's one of his deepest tracks to date, and again reveals the harsh reality of something people take for granted. This time it's something Eminem's never tackles before: LOVE. Over an melodic eerie beat and a raw abstract chorus, Em describes how he loved someone when they didn't love him and vice versa with him (not surprisingly) killing his love and himself as a result. It reminds me painfully of "Stan", it's probably (dare I say it?) his best track since "Cleaning Out My Closet". Simply brilliant.



11. CINDERELLA MAN



More relapse-bashing, Em goes out on a lyrical exercise. Not that strong of a track, in my opinion. Though the lyrics and beats are good, the concept seems a bit pointless to me



12. 25 TO LIFE



Shady spits about and how he's underappreciated under the metaphor that the rap industry is a girl. It's a sentimental, unique, and clever track and I'm really diggin' the acoustics.



13. SO BAD



Sure he has an accent, but this record is straight up lyrical piece of genius and comedic rap at it's fullest potential. He's promoting himself, but he's on the top of his game, so why not? As long you get a great laugh! Dre definitely puts up the hardest beat on the album. This may be Em's most bad*** song since "Without Me".



14. ALMOST FAMOUS



People will love this one. It's climatic and passionate rant, with a sick hook and emphatic, energetic bars over an airtight beat. It's a wake up call, and something the loyal Shady fans will love. Still, I'm not too high on it because it's not my type of song but it's awesome listening to.



15. LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE FEAT. RIHANNA



It's the mainstream, more primitive and tame, less Shady, version of "Space Bound". Em recounts back to a relationship with it's up and downs from how it was love and abuse and heartbreak. Rihanna delivers auto-tuned piano vocals on the chorus, which may sound bad, but it works very well and adds a sense of loneliness and vulnerability. It's emotionally appealing as well. Still, it's a wannabe "Space Bound".



16. YOU’RE NEVER OVER



This is the one we've been waiting for. It's a perfect way to conclude this album, reminiscing about Proof, and hearing Shady's aspirations. It's sad, yet uplifting. One of the bets tracks on this album for sure.



17. HERE WE GO (hidden track)



Ha, I'm not spoiling it. Buy the album. Be a true fan.



FINAL NOTES:



It's undeniable. Eminem's back and better than ever. Ultimately, this album leaves it's intended effect on the audience: Eminem's sober and his lyrical ability is back to it's height. the guests enhanced the album greatly instead of tripping it up even a bit. I really like the pacing and the order of the songs in the album. Starts off fast and hard to remind people what Shady's all about then hits off with the strongest tracks of the album, differing in tempo. Then he goes slow at the ends but doesn't lose his touch a bit. I'm unsure whether this album is an instant classic or even a classic or not. It's definitely an excellent album, and as close to perfect Em's been in almost been decade. The once flaw I have with this collection is that it's a bit repetitive with the love and rehab and "dominant spitting" and all that. Despite this, it's a definite five and obviously worth buying. My favorite seven tracks in order:



1. Space Bound

2. Not Afraid

3. So Bad

4. No Love

5. Talkin' 2 Myself

6. You're Never Over

7. Won't Back Down"
