The production shits all over Recovery. Lyrically I would put Recovery above Hell the Sequel, like it or not Recovery had some very well written tracks, ones you could tell Em actually sat down and wrote them without rushing it.
I think the difference been Em and the better rappers today are not that Em has actually lost his spark it is that he writes most his shit as quick as possible instead of sitting down working through concepts, etc. Back in the day maybe he could record a lot of tracks in little time and most would be mind blowing but that doesn't work any more and to be honest it would be crazy if it did work.
Oh I loved Welcome to Hell, I like the fact that Reunion and Kiss were his last recorded tracks meaning he is slowly changing his style once more. Echo was also dope. I think I bump Hell the Sequel more than Recovery. The production gave the tracks more replay value.
