Product ReviewsEMINEM RECOVERY NEW CD

Eminem Recovery

Recovery delivers: great punchlines, a refusal to countenance single-syllable rhymes where three will do, and an underlying tone of genuine anger are present in abundance. Eminem can do more than parodies. Sadly, a piecemeal approach to production (Dr Dre has just one credit) leaves the album lacking an abiding mood and drowning in fashionable soft-rock samples. Not a classic perhaps, but Recovery puts a stop to any concern that Eminem had become nothing more than a bawdy caricature.Lacking the skits, traditional guests, and goofball lead singles that characterized his previous albums, Recovery is Eminem coming to terms with his own legacy, shedding the tired formulas that marked his previous works and attempting to reassert his place in the pantheon of the hip-hop elite. Enjoy it.Read full review...

Clear headed Eminem Kills it!

Much better than I first thought it was when I originally heard it. Recovery finds Eminem in a clearer headspace than in previous albums, and the resulting album was much more coherent and downright poignant than his previous 2 efforts: Encore and Relapse. Now it is just my opinion but I can't even listen to 'Just Lose It' or 'Crack a Bottle'. Instead on Recovery you get some great tunes with an edge and more personal introspection that inevitably comes with recovering from addiction. Personal favorites include 'Talkin to Myself', 'Going Through Changes'(shout out to Black Sabbath!!) and Love the Way You Lie'. Not to mention that this album contains one of Em's biggest radio hits in 'Not Afraid', in which he even mentions album 'Relapse' being less than his usual quality. Some may not like this softer edge from Eminem, but I personally liked hearing his Recovery, set to some hard beats with some excellent guest vocalists. On a personal note, seeing loved ones go through the recovery process makes me appreciate this album and his journey all that much more. If you like Eminem's style of hip hop, but with a bit of a softer touch, this is for you.Read full review...

WOW WHAT A CD!

Wow is all I can say about Eminem. That's all I've ever been able to say about him. lol. This time it's different. There are so many emotions that play into these songs. Some give me chills. My 12 yr old daughter loves this cd. She thinks that he's right about the world with judgement. I can't say that I agree with every word said however I can say he does have perspective. He's had ups and downs like all of us, only his were in the public. Now that must have been a blast! Anyway, I bring this up because we know how it feels to hit your lowest and then feel that you've found your high only to slip up again. I feel like we all have done that, maybe not to an extreme but on some level. That's how his music works. It's like saying,"Okay, so you've messed up, so what try again. And again if you have to." Who doesn't need that message. Could do without his choice of words, that's why there are options. I don't have to listen to those words but I hear the words I want to hear. So for those of you who haven't listened because of the curse words, find the edited version and you will love it. If you like the orginal version that's awesome too. You have a free mind and we could all use some of that.Read full review...

RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR

If hip-hop is dying, than Eminem is the adrenaline shot that is keeping the heart beating. Eminem’s “Recovery” is just what hip-hop needs, as this is by far one if not his finest works lyrical on an album. Just a year past after his last release: “Relapse”. Eminem is back and his new album Recovery states that. I have not heard his flow so crisp and so tight since “The Marshall Mathers LP”, and for you voice pickers out, yes Eminem is back to his normal voice for most of the Album. On “Recovery”, Eminem is showing the maturity in his lyrics, but still maintains the purity which in why I love Eminem. He has adapted to the changing trends in hip-hop but still maintains what keeps him apart for other rappers. For example this album appears to have a few more guest artists than pervious one and there is some auto tune T- Pain hooks. Nether one of these things are bad, as he still has that psychedelic flow that he is know for. This is pure Eminem as he is still rapping about, killing, doing drugs, having sex, being the best, and etc. I, who enjoyed last year’s album “Relapse” was very surprise and please to see him go back to a lyrical assault. I was also surprise how Eminem was disappointed by his last album “Recovery”. That is one of the reasons why I love Eminem. He sets the bar so high for himself that he diss last year album “Relapse” in tracks on “Recovery”.
I was afraid I was going to be disappointed as I felt his debut single “Not Afraid” was good but not great. Oh I was wrong!! From listing to the first track “Cold Wind Blows” to the last one “Here We Go” I was left satisfy and empress. The 5 songs you must listen to are, Cinderella Man, Here We Go, No Love, and So Bad.

If you love Eminem get this, if you hate Eminem get this. Regardless; I promise you won't be disappointed.
Oh a message for Kanye, Jay-Z, Mos Def push your album’s to next year as Eminem’s “Recovery” is going to rap album of the year. Yes it is that good!!Read full review...

Great and different from his other work

I have been an eminem fan since the slim shady lp came out. I love his music. I had every cd of his until his greatest hits came out. Because relapse to me sounded a lot like encore, but worse. When recovery came out, I waited awhile to pick it because I was on the fence about weather or not if it was gonna be another relapse cd. Which it wasn't. Come to find out, this is the first album eminem made completely sober & you can really tell he is clear headed on every track. I give this album a Two thumbs up rating. He is on cue on every track. Stay on ur game eminem. Buy this album if ur an eminem fan for life.Read full review...

Eminem's my favorite rapper

Eminem's is my favorite rapper. I love how he includes his daughter. His newest CD Kamikaze is something to look up. I haven't listened to it all yet but I've seen some of the music videos.

Great CD!

I like Eminems music and always will. He speaks the truth and he raps so well. I love the way Eminem sings from his heart and is so real about life and issues that we deal with in it. I've liked Eminem ever since my dad got me into rap. I do not like how they sell edited versions of Eminems music, because come on, are you really gonna even buy the eminem CD if you do not like cussing in music. I am glad I found this unedited version because his music edited makes no sense and has no meaning to it.Read full review...
