Should Beautiful Have been on Recovery?

[Robbie G]

Not sure if I would but I see your point. It definitely would have fit better on Recovery.

No, it should of been on neither Relapse nor Recovery.

Most of it was written in a different time period / mindframe and his style / flow is adhering to the original he laid down (similar to "Careful What You Wish For"). It sticks out like a sore thumb on Relapse and also isn't right for Recovery.

It's a step-backwards compared to Recovery material.

He should of just released the 07 material as intended, regardless of if the thought it was good enough, it was quite obviously some dark... Themed shit. And if he truly wants to represent where his mind is at at any given time, releasing an album at his lowest point would of documented that to an extreme degree and been a worthy addition in his discography. And a far more commendable artistic achievement than talking about it in retrospect.

I was thinking about this awhile back, that would be cool if it would have been, it would have also fit in there perfectly, the last verse of "Beautiful"

i completly agree,,, it doesnt fit either album,,, it shudve been maybe a bonus track for relapse or somethin

[AnalKiddo]

no

[slimsoxshady]

The only thing I don't like about Beautiful is the high sibilance on the verses...so annoying
But yea it would have fit better on Recovery with it's inspirational tone
But then Relapse would have taken a hit cuz Beautiful was one of my favorites there

[mceddie]

im not a really fan of beautiful.
