After Pitchfork trashed the album, another hipster site reviews Recovery and it's a very positive review: http://onethirtybpm.com/2010/06/18/albu ... -recovery/
"If any sanity remains in this damaged hip hop climate, this record will turn up the heat in a big way. If Drake’s Thank Me Later is global warming, then Recovery is the salvage plan. It’s certainly going to create quite a bit of noise. A lot of it is probably going to come from something simple: Eminem is back to making sick records again. The crater he’d created in the game that was just beginning to mend is going to have to reopen."
Score: 91/100
And if you look at their other recommended albums, a lot of it is indie/hipster stuff, which says something about Recovery. Unlike Pitchfork, they didn't take the easy road and knew before they listened to it that they'd trash it, but actually gave it a fair chance.
