It's crazy Eminem made an album with Just Blaze, DJ Khalil, Havoc, Dre and Boi-1da and it still turned out trash

Recovery is one of his worst albums :hhh:

Listen to that chorus

This shyts sounds like those Alex Da Kid beats prerecorded with Skylar Grey/Bruno Mars hooks. Factory made synthetic garbage Atlantic Records made. You add Eminem abandoning his rhyme style to imitate Wayne’s crappy punchline rhyme style and you have a recipe for disaster.

He also let Beyoncé sound like Skylar Gray :dead:and this was the same album that he had to take a hit from. There’s no way you blow a song with a feature like that. The Kehlani Song was decent but still could’ve been better.

fukk the group think in this thread, Recovery is one of Ems best albums. It came out when Darke and Nicki were the new hype and it delivered. Numerous hit singles. Just a great album from front to back. An album that starts off good and has a good 2nd half. Everything OP said is literally the opposite of what Recovery is. Whenever Wayne is on a track with a real emcee he's always forced to deliver his A game and he did when on that Just Blaze track. Ems lyricism on this album still confirmed him as one if the best emcees in Hip hop history.

Act like this is an accomplishment, brehs :mjlol:

And even then it actually isn't one of his best somehow. That's how bad it is.

:beli:

I brought up lyricism, I brought up how being on a song with a real lyricist forces Wayne to be on his A Game...I brought up how the album had numerous hit songs that were on the radio......I brought up a bunch of stuff in this thread detailing as to why the album is one of Ems best and you up the thread to quote me nearly a week later to say it isn't with absolutely zero breakdown as to why you disagree. That's just lazy on your end. And it's annoying. There are others who agreed with my comment so you could have just said you don't like the album instead of quoting me to say absolutely nothing.

I haven’t listened to this album in years, but at the time, I liked it. I liked it more than Relapse (too much weird content and dumb accents).

With that said, Recovery is the worst Eminem album of all time. Just an absolutely boring album. I have never heard Music to be Murdered By, but I assume it’s better than Recovery. Even Encore was better to me.

You never heard Revival I see...

I remember how hyped this album was on :hamster: even non-Em fans were hyped because he was getting legit producers on the album and he seemed he was at the top of his lyrical game on Relapse. Then it comes out, and he has way too many corny punchlines (why he added this to his lyricism I have no idea) and the production was not that great.

These are the tracks I don't fukk with:

-Won't Back Down
-W.T.P.
-Space Bound
-Love the Way You Lie
-You're Never Over

By itself, I like the album more than I don't. It's nowhere near as consistent or enjoyable as Relapse, but I get what Eminem was trying to do and it was the kind of album he needed to make. He had to reestablish himself for the newer generation and take advantage of what was out there.

I hate what the album represents because everything wrong with Eminem's music can be traced back to it. Pop features, weird production, screaming, corny punchlines. If it was just a one-off, it would have been fine because a lot of artists felt pressure to put out something trendy and relevant in 2010. But they looked at Recovery's success and thought that this was the direction to stick with. And that's the problem. The album reflected the era it came out perfectly. Then they doubled down on it with MMLP2 when this sound was on its way out, and by the time Revival dropped, Eminem's music was insanely out of step with what was going on in hip hop. He would still be making music like that now if he wasn't laughed at for Revival.

I think the album would be better if they added the bonus tracks ("Ridaz," "Session One"), removed the five tracks I mentioned, and played a little with the sequencing.
