His maturity in Recovery by far exceeds TES. In TES there was too much whining & bitching (still great album though)
Whines on all his albums. More so on TES, admittely, but when that was released it was completely different to what he'd done before.
Too many corny punchlines on Recovery, he focuses too much on the punchlines to the actaul writing, and his delivery is too repetitive.
For 11 years into his career and after the horrow that was NA, it definitely suprised me though, in a good way.

it's no surprise
