Eminem - Recovery Released

[Jordan!]

This album is one of the best i've heard since maybe 2001.

I like the CD. I don't see anything wrong with the acoustic guitar. It is well used. The singing is a little much at some points but overall I think he's put out a great CD.

[FanIn80]

Love the Way You Lie broke the YouTube single-day (and first-day) record for most views at 6.6 million. It's now up to 23 million just 5 days later.



It's not really my favourite song on the album, but it's definitely catchy.

What do reviews have to do with someone's personal preference? The last thing I would do is use reviews to influence or validate my like or dislike of something.

Ok, I feel sorry for him if this is the best CD he has heard since 2001.

I can only assume he meant best Eminem album since 01.

Rihana's part in that song is beyond irritating.

Nah. I grew up listening to the Wu growing up but around 2000 the rap industry went to hell and I stopped listening completely.

I probably said what I did because I haven't listened to much rap since 2001.. period

My bad. Do you mean just rap though? Or literally you haven't heard another good album since 01?

Just Rap. The last Album I really enjoyed was Iron Flag - Wu-Tang Clan.. actually. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II had some gems..

I don't ever really listen to rap or hip-hop (except the Beastie Boys), and I never ever liked Eminem at all. But my buddy has this record in his car and I think its really quite good. A LOT of emotion.

[Igottago]

I saw a video from this album recently, and I can't remember what the song is called, but it was like a Celine Dion song. Well, maybe a cross between Celine Dion and Creed. It was over the top cheese.

I've only heard the two singles off this album, but the lyrics are incredibly weak. For a guy who used to be cutting edge so many years ago, he's really fallen off the map.

agree ... I dont know why but number 6 "changes" just really hits me as an emotional and raw song... I really enjoy it ... I enjoy most of the album especially 6-15 or so ..

Megan Fox is hot. That is all.

Are you kidding me? One of his best albums of all time! Even Kanye can't interupt this album. Lyrics are genius.

I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
I can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffin’ paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she in’ hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come back
we’re runnin’ right back, here we go again
its so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ great
I’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
whose that dude? I don’t even know his name
I laid hands on her
I never stoop so low again
I guess I don’t know my own strength

Lame. And it's followed up by cheese like this:

You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

And this:

Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano

Freaking weak.
